Smooth, Refine & Reclaim Your Neckline
The neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging — from sagging skin and vertical bands to loss of jawline definition and fullness under the chin. A Neck Lift (also known as a lower rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that tightens and lifts the neck area to create a more youthful, sculpted appearance.
At Toronto Dermaplastic Surgery, Dr. Reza Ahmadzadeh performs neck lifts with a delicate, artistic touch — restoring your profile, enhancing jawline definition, and giving you a refreshed, natural look that aligns with the rest of your face.

Dr. Ahmadzadeh will select the appropriate technique based on your skin laxity, fat distribution, and jawline structure:
- Traditional Neck Lift – Tightens underlying muscles, removes excess fat, and re-drapes the skin
- Mini Neck Lift – Less invasive; ideal for mild to moderate sagging
- Liposuction Only – Targets excess fat under the chin for younger patients with good skin tone
- Often combined with a facelift, chin implant, or fat grafting for full lower face rejuvenation
- Consultation: In-depth evaluation of neck anatomy, aging concerns, and desired profile
- Surgery Time: 1.5 to 3 hours under general anesthesia or IV sedation
- Recovery Timeline:
- Swelling, bruising, and tightness for 7–14 days
- Light activity in 1 week; full results visible within 4–6 weeks
- Compression garment may be used to support healing
- Scarring: Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ears and under the chin and fade over time
Will I still look like myself?
Yes — Dr. Ahmadzadeh prioritizes natural-looking refinement. You’ll look like a more rested, elegant version of yourself, not “done.”
How long do neck lift results last?
Typically, 10 to 15 years depending on skin care, aging process, and lifestyle.
Can I combine a neck lift with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine it with a facelift, eyelid surgery, or chin contouring for a more complete transformation.
You deserve to feel confident in your profile — from every angle. Whether you’re frustrated by sagging skin, neck bands, or lack of definition, a neck lift with Dr. Reza Ahmadzadeh can deliver natural elegance and a renewed sense of self.
