Neck Lift Incisions Are Usually Very Well Hidden
Thank you for your question. Typically a Neck Lift involves well hidden incisions under the chin and behind the ear.
These are usually very well hidden.
Careful technique by an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should result in well healed incisions that are not noticeable.

Neck lift incision appearance
Neck lift, what is it?
Some would say an incision below the chin to tighten the muscle (platysma) and remove fat.
Others would characterize it as a lower facelift that targets primarily the neck and jowl area.
Dr. Rand is spot on; if you choose an exceptional facelift surgeon, the scars should be minimaly perceptible or imperceptible.

Neck lift scarring
The submental scar, placed under the chin, tends to heal beautifully and is close to invisible. I never say completely invisible because I don't want to give false impressions but it is barely visible. If you need a more comprehensive procedure, incisions would be placed around the ears and these go on to heal well and should not be apparent as well. So long as your skin is not sun damaged and you are not a smoker, healing should be quite good. As others have noted, a part of this is...

Neck Lift Incisions
A neck lift means different things depending on your underlying anatomy:
Small incision under the chin
Limited incisions behind the ear only
Incisions along face and neck

Neck lift alone can be pretty inconspicuous incisions
Often a neck lift can be done with a 1" incision under the chin (blends into a crease) and two 2" incisions behind the ear in the sulcus (the crease where the ear meets the skull. These can all be imperceptible.

Neck lift incisions
The incisions for a neck lift are threefold. There are two incisions behind the ears that are approximately one-half-inch long and are hidden in the crease. The third incision is one-inch long and made underneath the chin area hidden in the submental crease. All of these incisions tend to be minimally noticeable a month after the neck lift procedure. A neck lift procedure does not address excess sagging skin in the neck, only the excess fat above and below the platysma muscle and...

Neck lift incisions should not be noticeable
Select an experienced facelift surgeon and the scars should not be noticeable. No matter if the scar is under the chin, behind the ear. We make the incision in front of the ear inside the ear so it doesn't show as well.

Neck Lift scars are typically unnoticable
A neck lift, or lower facelift typically involves an incision under the chin in the natural skin crease as well as incisions from the ear lobe to behind the ears. These scars typically heal up to be unnoticable, but a proper consent form will detail the risks.

Neck Lift Incisions
The scar from a neck lift varies, depending on what type of procedure you need. This, in turn, depends on your problem and what you wish to accomplish. No matter what is done, however, the scars usually end up almost imperceptible. The procedure with the least scar is simple liposuction of the neck. This usually requires only 3 scars less than ¼ inch each. Occasionally the scar is limited to one under the chin. On other occasions, it is behind the ear, in front of the ear (a facelift...

What do neck lift incisions look like?
It would greatly depend on what needs to be done.
Most neck lifts involve a tightening of the neck muscle (PLATYSMA) and some form of liposuction over the muscle. That usually involves a totally hidden scar just under your chin and depending on the amount of neck fat, 2 small scars just below and behind the ears. To lift the sagging muscle higher and get a more youthful acute neck angle, short scars behind the ears will be involved. IF you have a lot of loose neck skin, a face and neck lift...

Neck lift with chin only incision
A neck lift is typically done with a chin incision only which is imperceptable. Some surgeons add an incision behind the ears to facilitate dissection and some skin removal. Basically, the scars will be hard to find.
