Can you successfully have a neck lift without a facelift?

In selected patients neck lift may be performed without face lift. Two ways of doing that are anterior neck lift without skin removal and posterior extended neck lift with removal of redundant neck skin. I hope this helps.

Necklift without a facelift is definetly an option in the correct setting. It depends on your anatomy and goals.
A neck lift can be performed successfully without a facelift in select patients, especially if the concern is primarily loose skin or excess fat under the chin and along the jawline, and the midface (cheeks) still has good tone and volume. In these cases, a well-performed neck lift can create a tighter, more defined neck and jaw contour on its own.

However, if there's significant sagging in the lower face (jowls, marionette lines, etc.), then a neck lift alone may create an imbalance — where the neck looks tight, but the lower face still appears aged. Over time, gravity and skin laxity in the untreated areas may give the impression that the neck "fell" or aged unevenly, even though it was lifted.

The key is a customized surgical plan. During consultation, I assess the full facial structure to determine if a standalone neck lift will give you the natural, long-lasting results you're looking for — or if combining it with a lower facelift will achieve better harmony.

If you're in the Jacksonville area and considering facial rejuvenation, I’d be happy to see you for a personal evaluation.
