How Long Does a Neck Lift Last?

Neck lifts some times refer to an under the chin incision with liposuction and tightening. They do not tighten skin.
Most patients with your problem need a facelift in addition to a necklift. That way the skin is tightened.
Many patients with early signs of aging around the jowl and neck area benefit from a minilift, but this should be very carefully performed by an experienced facelift surgeon you have researched carefully, not a mass market clinic.
At your age, the average benefit would be about 5-7 years in the appearance of the face, but this varies widely depending on your skin type, what procedure exactly is performed, what additional procedures are being done, etc. 5-7 years would be an average of how long the patients felt the procedure lasted, althoiugh after a well done minilift or moreso even with a facelift there is permanent benefit.
Most offices do offer financing.
You are best seeking several consultations and doing it right, even if it means saving up. Wasting your money on minimally invasive solutions will probably delay your getting the proper procedure.

This is a really great question that comes up often in cosmetic consultations: What is the duration and durability of a cosmetic surgery?
Most of that answer depends on your own, inherent physiology and anatomy. For example, an older patient will often get less durability out of the surgery as their tissues just do not respond as well as a younger person. Your genetic predisposition to agent will also play significant role.
I always tell patients that we can turn back the hands of time, but we cannot stop them from taking forwards. Basically, you will always be aging from a new point, as you continue to age after your surgery, you will always have that Headstart having begun that process from a better starting point, so you always look better than had you not had the surgery.
The type of surgery is also important; an eyelid surgery does not tend to have as much tension placed on it as say a facelift, so inherent genetic changes can play more of a role with duration there. Treatments like Botox or Dysport can definitely be preventative and prolong the need for surgery by helping to take tension off of the tissue. I always encourage my post operative patients to preserve their results with Botox or Dysport, just as we encourage young patients to start early and preserve what they already have!
To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon.

On average the surgical #results last between 4 and 7 years. However, people vary so much from one another, an exact time is difficult to provide. If you wish, you may repeat the procedure at that time. There is always an improvement compared to not having the procedure as the #aging process continues to progress throughout the future. Patients, with very loose skin will occasionally experience sagging earlier and it may be seen as soon as one  year later. Such may require a secondary procedure to tighten the loose skin. It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine what treatments will best rejuvenate your neck. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Hello.  You share a common concern with many women as we age.  A well performed neck lift should last about 10 years.  You should also be aware it's not uncommon to require minor tuck ups.  As for payment options, you should address these with the surgeon you ultimately select, since different practices offer different options.  Many will offer Care Credit, and Lending USA is another new financing service that may help.  There are also some practices that offer their own financing plans.  My advice is to first research various board certified surgeons around you and get an estimate of prices.  If the prices are within your budget, then I recommend you choose the surgeon you trust the most.  Best of luck.

Agreed, most plastic surgeons would say a necklift or facelift lasts on average 7-10 years depending on patient factors, skin quality, etc.. each surgeon's office has differing payment plans..

Thank you for your question.  I advice most of my patients to combine facelift and necklift, as their biggest concerns being their jowls and neck, therefore giving continuity and a well defined jawline.  Please ensure the procedure will target your SMAS muscle as well as the skin, this should give a longevity of 7-10 years.  This will vary widely depending on your skin type, what type of procedure is performed, if any other procedures are being combined etc.  Please ask the clinic if they offer finance options, most will do.  Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve, even if this means saving up for a little while longer (ensure you do not choose a surgeon pure based on price)All The Best 

Thank you for your question! Although there can be significant variability between patients regarding longevity of a neck lift, I usually tell patients that it is approximately 10 years. If you have significant neck skin laxity, then a formal facelift is usually the best approach. If it is primarily a problem with submental fat or platysmal bands, then tightening the muscle along with liposuction can be addressed with a direct approach under the chin. I hope this helps!

A variety of factors affect how long
a neck lift lasts. These include: the type of procedure performed, the skill of
the surgeon, the genetics of the patient, the amount of sun damage, and the
patient’s life style decisions such as cigarette smoking.  All of these factors impact the result
of neck lift procedures and their longevity.

It’s important to realize that neck
lifts turn the clock back, but don’t stop it from ticking.  Most surgeons will tell you that the
procedure will generally last about ten years.  I feel that if a neck lift makes you look 15 years younger,
you should be back to your original starting point in approximately 15 years.

Facial rejuvenation procedures
should be tailored to the individual. 
The exact procedure utilized will depend upon the anatomic findings
associated with the patient’s aging phenomena.  The more aggressive the procedure, the further the clock is
set back and the longer the neck lift will last. 

How long a necklift lasts will depend on several factors, including your age, overall health, pre-existing condition (elasticity) of your skin, smoking,etc.  Generally, as with full facelifting, the younger patients see longer results than older patients.  This is because the skin is more elastic and will hold its position better and longer.  On average, patients can expect the results to last 8-12 years, but this varies widely with different patients.  Also, I believe that usually a thinner patient will have longer lasting results that a patient with full, heavy features.  It is also important for the surgeon to adequately treat all of the underlying factors adding to the patient's neck deformity, such as loose muscles and excess fat, or else merely tightening the skin will not produce a long-lasting result.

Not all necklifts are created equally. Depending on your particular problem areas, a neck lift can involve liposuction, tightening of the muscles (corset), and skin tightening/lifting. With regards to longevity, you will look better than you would have without surgery. However, normal aging does continue to occur. Assuming your surgery is performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, your results can last 5-10 years.  

Most plastic surgeons will offer a variety of financing options through different companies such as Care Credit.

 

  I think you get at LEAST 10 years out of a well done, wee conceived neck lift.  Watch out for less expensive, non surgical treatments which may not be effective at all or whiose effects may not last.
