About the Neck Lift Procedure
Individuals considering a neck lift in Fort Worth often say they are tired of dealing with persistent sagging or hanging skin—even after sticking to diligent diet and exercise routines. Several factors can cause this, including aging and significant weight loss. It’s also incredibly common; mention “turkey neck” once, and most people instantly know exactly what you mean. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with it forever. Also known as platysmaplasty, neck lift procedures are the go-to for a firmer, more youthful profile that better reflects who you are on the inside and the person you hope to be.
A neck lift has proven to be ideal for sagging or loose neck skin, poor jawline definition, excess fat under the chin, and even a heavy or drooping neckline. When combined with a facelift, the procedures can address sagging in the lower face and jawline while tightening and contouring the neck for a new look that is uniquely you.
Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell perform a neck lift to:
- Tighten underlying neck muscles
- Remove excess skin
- Reduce visible neck banding
- Improve the transition between the chin, jawline, and neck
What Are the Key Benefits of a Neck Lift?
Renewed self-confidence — Neck lift patients at Clearfork Plastic Surgery say that rather than not feeling like themselves anymore, they are excited to look in the mirror again, wear their favorite clothes, and reclaim the youthful appearance they richly deserve.
No more waiting for diet or exercise to fix something they can’t — Diet and exercise are good, especially when done consistently. But there are limitations to the benefits they provide. Simply put, diet and exercise alone won’t be enough to tighten your neckline. A neck lift can quickly and elegantly give you the look you’ve been longing for.
You’ll love taking photos again — No more worrying about angles, lighting, or what your neck looks like.
Peace of mind — Neck lift results can last years, which means you can live your life instead of worrying about how you look.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
The best way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for a neck lift in Fort Worth is to speak with our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Drew Sanderson and Dr. Anthony Braswell. Each procedure we perform, whether by surgery or more conservative measures, includes a free consultation. This allows us to listen to your goals, assess your unique problem areas, address any concerns, describe your procedure options in detail, and assess your candidacy for them. We will conduct a full facial examination, show you what we see using photo imaging, and make recommendations. Before-and-after composites help you visualize what to expect after the procedure. That said, ideal candidates for neck lift surgery are generally physically healthy individuals with realistic expectations for the procedure and their desired outcomes.

Neck Lift Before & Afters
How Neck Lift in Fort Worth Works
Neck lift surgery can differ dramatically from patient to patient. For instance, one patient may simply need excess skin removed, while another may require muscle tightening or fat reduction to achieve a smoother, more defined neckline. In other instances, a neck lift may be paired with a facelift, deep plane facelift, otoplasty, neck liposuction, or another complementary procedure. Dr. Drew Sanderson and Dr. Anthony Braswell have perfected their approach to each of these unique cases and pride themselves on aesthetic precision and satisfying results that can last a lifetime.
The neck lift procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and the extent of correction needed. Incisions are made just in front of or behind the ears, and occasionally beneath the chin. From there, our surgeon tightens the underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and carefully reshapes the neck according to your treatment plan. The result is a smoother, more defined appearance. We ensure that each patient feels comfortable with their procedure and the outcome. This is why patients will travel from beyond Fort Worth specifically to work with Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell. When you choose Clearfork Plastic Surgery for otoplasty, we will help you achieve your aesthetic goals with precision and care.
Recovery After a Neck Lift in Fort Worth
Like any plastic surgery procedure, you can expect some mild swelling and discoloration from bruising in the hours and days after a neck lift. This process is normal and will dissipate over time. Most patients notice improved healing and less pain within the first week and can gradually return to normal daily activities soon after. You should still avoid strenuous activities for a few more weeks; your surgeon will give you more specifics, along with detailed aftercare instructions and a follow-up schedule to monitor your healing.
