Introduction

Does your neck look older than the rest of your face? Are you bothered by sagging skin, horizontal lines, or a loss of jawline definition?

The neck is often one of the first places to show signs of aging—sometimes even earlier than the face. Sun exposure, skin laxity, and gravity can lead to a “turkey neck,” double chin, or deep vertical bands that make you appear older and more tired than you feel. 

At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya offers neck lift surgery as a precise, safe, and lasting solution to rejuvenate the lower face and restore youthful contours.

Common Causes

Neck aging is influenced by multiple factors—some within our control, and others dictated by genetics or time. Understanding what causes these visible changes can help you determine when a surgical neck lift is the right choice.

As you age, the skin naturally loses elasticity and collagen, leading to looseness. The underlying muscles weaken, and excess fat can accumulate under the chin, creating a sagging or bulky appearance. Even young individuals can develop premature neck sagging due to genetics, posture, or lifestyle habits.

Common contributors to neck aging include:

• Natural collagen and elastin breakdown due to aging

• Accumulation of fat under the chin or jawline (submental fullness)

• Muscle weakening or vertical banding (platysmal bands)

• Weight fluctuations or post-weight loss skin laxity

• Excessive sun exposure and poor skincare habits

• Forward neck posture, especially with prolonged device use

Treatment Process

Neck lift surgery, or lower rhytidectomy, is a customized procedure that lifts and tightens the neck area for a firmer, smoother, and more defined profile. At Asteria Aesthetics, the process is guided by your unique facial anatomy, age, and goals.

Step 1: Personal Consultation

Description: Dr. Apoorv Loya begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your neck and jawline structure. This includes a discussion of concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history.

Result: A personalized treatment plan and 3D visualization (if needed) are created.

Best For: Patients with visible neck sagging, fat accumulation, or muscle banding.

Step 2: Surgical Procedure

Description: The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. Small, discreet incisions are made behind the ears or beneath the chin. Through these, excess skin is trimmed, muscles (platysma) are tightened, and fat is sculpted or removed.

Result: A tighter, contoured neck and improved jawline definition.

Best For: Moderate to advanced skin laxity, platysma banding, or double chin.

Step 3: Recovery & Healing

Description: After the procedure, a compression garment is placed to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients can resume light activity within 7–10 days.

Result: Results become noticeable within 2–3 weeks and continue improving over 2–3 months.

Best For: All skin types seeking long-term rejuvenation.

Before And After your neck lift treatment at Asteria Aesthetics

Before Your Treatment

Patients often arrive with complaints of neck sagging, double chin, undefined jawline, or a mismatch between their facial youth and neck appearance. Photos and simulations are reviewed to set clear expectations and guide surgical planning.

During Your Treatment

You’ll be under safe anesthesia in a sterile OT. The procedure typically lasts 2–3 hours. A neck compression band is worn immediately after surgery to control swelling.

After Your Treatment

Mild bruising or tightness may be felt in the first week. Within two weeks, swelling subsides and visible refinement starts to appear. Final results are typically achieved by the third month and can last 7–10 years with good care.

Benefits Of Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift doesn’t just change how you look—it changes how you feel. It restores symmetry, rejuvenates your lower face, and enhances overall confidence.

Key benefits include:

• Dramatically tighter and smoother neck skin

• Defined jawline with reduced jowling

• Elimination of vertical neck bands and fullness under the chin

• Natural-looking results that last for years

• Boosted confidence in photographs, social settings, and work life

Lifestyle Tips for a Neck Lift

Post-surgery results can last longer with proper care and adjustments to your daily routine. Here’s how to maintain your rejuvenated neck:

• Sleep on your back with your head elevated during initial recovery

• Apply prescribed scar care and moisturizing serums

• Protect your neck with sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily

• Avoid smoking, which accelerates skin aging

• Maintain a healthy weight to prevent new skin laxity

• Incorporate neck-targeted skincare and gentle massage as advised
