Deep Neck Lift in Philadelphia, PA

A Deep Neck Lift re-sculpts the neck and jawline to create the elegant, defined look of youth. With his years as a leading facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Wulc customizes each procedure to create a fresh, natural-looking outcome.

What is a Deep Neck Lift?

While a traditional neck lift targets the superficial layers of the neck using liposuction and tightening the platysma muscle, a Deep Neck Lift is far more comprehensive. This advanced procedure addresses the deeper tissues beneath the platysma muscle, the cause of the visible signs of aging tissues and skin. The deep fat located near the jawline and neck can create a sagging, puffy appearance, which is fully addressed. With a Deep Neck Lift in Philadelphia, Dr. Wulc removes excess fat, tightens tissues, and contours the neck to reestablish a defined, youthful line from the jawline to neck.

How is a Deep Neck Lift Performed?

Dr. Wulc begins the procedure with a small incision under the chin and behind the ears, carefully placed within the natural creases so they are virtually invisible once healed. Using advanced techniques, localized fat is either repositioned or removed, and the underlying tissues are lifted and tightened. The vertical platysma muscles are sutured together to create a smooth, youthful neck contour. Excess skin is removed, and the neck is meticulously sculpted to create a more ideal structure.

The entire procedure is performed with precision, ensuring minimal scarring and exceptionally fresh and natural results.

What is the Recovery Like?

Recovery from a Deep Neck Lift typically lasts 10 to 12 days. Some tightness and stiffness are expected in the initial recovery period , but these sensations gradually fade. Within one to two weeks, you’ll be able to return to your normal activities, and the incision lines can be easily concealed with cosmetics.

At W Cosmetic Surgery™, we use ultrasonic techniques to help soften any stiffness and speed your recovery. Dr. Wulc and his team will guide you through the post-operative process to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery, allowing you to fully enjoy your rejuvenated appearance.

Which Procedures Complement a Deep Neck Lift?

For a fully refreshed look, many patients choose to combine their Deep Neck Lift with other rejuvenation treatments, including:

Chin Implants for enhanced jawline definition
Deep Plane Facelift for comprehensive transformation
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) to rejuvenate the eyes
Brow Lift to lift the brows and smooth the forehead
Skin Smoothing Treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion to enhance skin texture and tone

Deep Neck Lift FAQs

Will I Need to Wear a Neck Compression Garment After Surgery?

Yes, most patients will be asked to wear a compression garment around their neck for a period following surgery. This helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process by keeping the skin in place as it begins to reattach to the newly repositioned tissues.

Can a Deep Neck Lift Address the “Turkey Neck” Look?

Yes, a deep neck lift is particularly effective for addressing the 'turkey neck' look—loose, sagging skin under the chin and along the neck. By tightening the deeper muscle layers and removing excess skin, a deep neck lift restores a smoother, more youthful neckline.

Does a Deep Neck Lift Impact the Neck’s Range of Motion?

A deep neck lift does not interfere with normal neck movement. Experienced surgeons like Dr. Wulc take great care to preserve muscle function while tightening the underlying structures, so you can still move your neck freely.
