Neck Lift
If you have developed the appearance of a “turkey neck” or double chin, a neck lift may help restore a more youthful appearance. Dr. Anh Vu specializes in neck lifts and other cosmetic surgery and offers these treatments to residents of St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a cosmetic surgery that tightens and rejuvenates the neck area. This technique is great for eliminating loose or wrinkled skin on the neck and can help reduce the appearance of a double chin. Many patients find that a neck lift restores the neck’s youthful contours and helps define the jawline, creating a more refined profile.

How is a Neck Lift Performed?
At Anh Vu, M.D., every neck lift begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans out the surgery based upon the patient’s aesthetic goals. Facial surgery can create permanent, life-changing results, so he spends substantial time discussing the procedure with the patient to ensure they achieve the results they want. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during surgery, making precise incisions around the ears or under the chin, depending on the patient’s specific aesthetic goals. The surgeon may then remove or tighten skin to create a younger, tighter appearance. All neck lifts are performed under anesthesia so that patients remain comfortable throughout treatment.
What Can I Expect After My Neck Lift?
After a neck lift, patients can expect swelling and minor bruising or discomfort for a few weeks after surgery. After these side effects fade, the final results from your neck lift will be fully visible. Most patients need at least a week off work and other activities, as a neck lift requires extensive rest. Following your procedure, Dr. Vu will review instructions for specific post-surgery care and discuss the timing of any follow-up appointments.
How Long Do the Results from a Neck Lift Last?
When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, neck lift results can be permanent and look completely natural. However, a neck lift does not prevent further aging, meaning patients can still develop wrinkles and sagging skin in the future.
