There are different types of necklift procedures, and the specific technique used will depend on the individual’s anatomy and desired results. Some common techniques include:

• Cervicoplasty: This involves the removal of excess skin from the neck area.
• Platysmaplasty: It targets the neck muscles (platysma) and tightens them to improve neck contours.
• Liposuction: Sometimes, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat deposits in the neck region.
• Botox or other injectables: These may be used to address dynamic wrinkles or bands on the neck.

However, you can expect your neck lift to last between 10 and 15 years if you remain in good health. If you opt for this procedure in your early 40s to address problems with the muscle structure in your neck, results will last a lot longer than if you are in your 60s and addressing loose, sagging skin.

Yes, a neck lift can be done without a face lift.

For most patients, the best age for a facelift is some time between ages 40 to 60, when wrinkles and folds begin to appear on the lower face and neck.
