Are you curious about the benefits of a neck lift without a facelift? As a Royal College certified surgeon, I’ve noticed a growing interest in this standalone procedure, and for good reason. A neck lift rejuvenates the neck’s appearance without altering facial concerns, offering a targeted solution.
Here, I’ll explain what makes this procedure unique, who it’s best suited for, and why it might be the right option for you.
What Is a Standalone Neck Lift?
A neck lift addresses visible aging in the neck area. It targets common concerns such as:
- Sagging or loose skin
- Wrinkles along the neck
- Excess fat under the chin
- Jowls and surplus fat along the jawline
- Vertical banding caused by weakened neck muscles
When performed without a facelift, the focus is solely on refining the neck’s contours. This makes it ideal for those whose facial features don’t require rejuvenation but who want to restore a smoother, more youthful-looking neck.

Benefits of a Standalone Neck Lift
Opting for a neck lift without a facelift offers several benefits:
- Targeted Results: The procedure focuses on specific concerns in the neck area without addressing the face.
- Lower Cost: Standalone neck lifts are typically less expensive than combined procedures.
- Quicker Recovery: A more focused approach can mean a shorter healing period than a facelift and neck lift combination.
This procedure significantly improves your neck’s appearance without the additional downtime or expense of a facelift.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
A standalone neck lift may be right for you if:
- You have sagging or loose skin in the neck but minimal facial aging.
- Your skin still retains good elasticity.
- You are in overall good health and have realistic expectations for the outcome.
At your consultation, we can determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals and if you’re a good candidate.
When a Combination Procedure May Be a Better Fit
While a neck lift alone is an excellent option for many, there are cases where combining it with a facelift or opting for a standalone facelift might be more suitable:
- Significant Facial Aging: If you have deep nasolabial folds, jowls, or a loss of volume in your cheeks, a facelift can address these concerns in tandem with a neck lift.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: A deep plane facelift works seamlessly with a neck lift to deliver harmonious, natural-looking results.
During your consultation, we can discuss whether a combination approach or standalone neck lift is better suited to your needs.
