A neck lift performed by Dr. Angela Sturm in Houston can remove sagging skin, tighten neck muscles, and restore a firmer, more defined neck and jawline. This procedure helps patients achieve a youthful, contoured appearance that enhances overall facial harmony.
Oftentimes, the neck is one of the first areas of the body to show significant signs of aging. In most cases, this takes the form of loose, sagging skin, which can weaken the definition of the jawline and create a “turkey neck” appearance. When this occurs, it can make you look much older than you truly are and detract from the beauty of your facial features. If you’re looking to reduce skin laxity around your neck and enhance the contours of your jawline, you should consider a neck lift in Houston performed by Dr. Angela Sturm.

Dr. Angela Sturm answers your questions about the neck lift procedure.
A neck lift in Houston can be a very effective procedure for individuals seeking neck rejuvenation. The surgery can provide some or all of the following benefits:
If you’re an adult who would like to rejuvenate the appearance of your neck and jawline, you may be a good candidate for a neck lift or a deep neck lift. The best candidates for the procedure are typically experiencing significant skin laxity around the neck, chin, and jawline. The procedure may also be right for you if you have excess submental fat and would like to enhance the definition of your lower face. Ideal neck lift candidates should be relatively healthy non-smokers who are not currently pregnant or nursing. When you have your initial consultation with Dr. Sturm, she’ll ask questions to learn more about your health and aesthetic goals. This information will allow her to determine if you’re truly a good candidate for the surgery.

You can tighten neck skin without surgery but none of the treatments will tighten the same as surgery. However, there are non-surgical procedures that can give you a noticeable improvement in neck skin, such as radiofrequency, ultrasound, and microneedling with radiofrequency. They all stimulate collagen and tighten the skin over time.

How long does recovery take after a neck lift?
The length of your neck lift surgery will depend on your specific treatment plan, but on average, the procedure takes between one and three hours to complete.
Usually, a neck lift will be performed using general anesthesia.
The full results of your neck lift will gradually become visible as the swelling and bruising subside. Typically, you’ll start to notice significant improvements to the contours of your neck and jawline after about two weeks, but it can take up to three months to see the complete effects.
There may be a bit of scarring after your neck lift, but Dr. Sturm will be sure to make the incision as inconspicuous as possible beneath your chin. Any visible scarring should also fade over time.
Recovery time after a neck lift varies by individual, but most patients can return to light activities within 7-10 days. Swelling and bruising typically subside within 2-3 weeks, and full healing may take a few months. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
