The Highlights of an Awake Neck Lift

Overview

Using local anesthesia, an awake neck lift removes excess fat and skin, tightens deep support structures, and creates a sharper, jowl-free jawline and profile.

Recovery

Patients generally return home the same day after surgery, with recommended downtime lasting between 1 and 2 weeks, depending on their surgeon.

Results

Final results begin to show during weeks 3 and 4 of healing, particularly after the stitches are removed at the 7-day mark.

Are You a Good Candidate for an Awake Neck Lift?

You may be a candidate if you:

are in stable health without underlying conditions that could disrupt healing.
have good skin elasticity to ensure the neck tightens and smooths properly.
have fine lines or deep wrinkles in the neck.
want to remove their prominent platysmal neck bands.
require a fast recovery or need to get back to routine quickly.

The Recovery Timeline for Awake Neck Lifts

Weeks 1-2

Rest and avoiding neck movement are recommended during week 1 until stitches are removed. Bruising and swelling subside significantly by the end of week 2.

Weeks 3-4

Any remaining discoloration will fade, and it will be safe to return to light activities with the approval of your surgeon.

1 Month+

Visible contouring will be noticed within weeks, but the final results and soft tissue settling may take up to three months.
