Sagging skin under your chin doesn’t just age you: it steals definition from your jawline. No amount of cardio or clean eating will make loose skin snap back. A neck lift restores firmer, smoother contours by trimming extra tissue and tightening the muscles beneath. It’s the best option when your skin refuses to spring back on its own.

Best Procedure for Sagging Neck Skin
If you’ve tried every skin-tightening cream on the shelf and still see sagging, it’s time to consider surgical options. A neck lift is the definitive solution for addressing skin laxity and restoring structure.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, your surgeon may recommend one or more of the following:
- Cervicoplasty: Removes excess skin to reduce wrinkling and create a smoother contour.
- Platysmaplasty: Tightens weakened or separated neck muscles for added firmness.
- Liposuction: Removes pockets of fat beneath the chin for better jawline definition.
These procedures may be combined or tailored to your specific anatomy for best results. The outcome is a youthful, elegant neckline with improved skin tone.
