How long does a neck lift last?

Patrick K. Sullivan

A neck lift can produce lasting results that endure for 7 to 10 years.

While a neck lift offers a long-term improvement to sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat in the neck area, the ageing process will eventually affect the treated area again. However, with proper care and lifestyle choices, patients can maximise the longevity of their results.

Factors that influence how long a neck lift lasts

The duration of neck lift results depends on various individual factors. These can include:  

  • Age and Skin Quality: Younger patients or those with good skin elasticity may experience longer-lasting results.
  • Genetics: Family history can play a role in the rate of ageing and skin laxity.
  • Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure can accelerate skin ageing and affect the neck’s appearance.
  • Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, alcohol, and an unhealthy diet may impact skin resilience.
  • Weight Fluctuations: Significant weight gain or loss can stretch or loosen the neck skin.
  • Surgical Technique: The specific method used by the surgeon can also influence the longevity of the results.
  • Aftercare and Maintenance: Proper post-operative care and following medical advice can help preserve the outcome.

What can I do to affect a long-lasting result?

To maximise the results of a neck lift, consider the following tips:  

  • Protect Your Skin from the Sun: Use high-SPF sunscreen and limit direct sun exposure to prevent skin damage.
  • Maintain a Stable Weight: Avoid major weight fluctuations to prevent additional strain on the skin.
  • Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol can improve skin resilience.
  • Follow a Skincare Routine: Use quality skincare products, especially those promoting collagen production and skin hydration.
  • Consider Maintenance Treatments: Non-surgical treatments, like skin tightening procedures or fillers, can help prolong the effects of a neck lift.
