A neck lift helps refine your jawline, smooths sagging skin, and, in the hands of expert board-certified plastic surgeons, takes years off your appearance. Below, we’re showcasing 5 inspiring neck lift before and after transformations by Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno so you can see the possibilities for yourself.

What Should You Look For in Neck Lift Before and After Pictures?

When reviewing a plastic surgeon’s before and after gallery, it’s essential to look beyond a tighter neck. A well-performed procedure should enhance the patient’s natural features, create a smooth and youthful contour, and blend seamlessly into the neck and lower face without calling attention to the surgery. Here are a few key details to look for when evaluating results:

1. A Natural-Looking Jawline & Neck Contour

The neck and jawline should appear smooth and defined without an overly tightened or “pulled” look. In our first patient showcase, this 79-year-old patient sought out Dr. Thomas Mustoe’s expertise to treat her “turkey neck.” Note the seamless transition throughout the lower face and the significant improvement in her neck and jowls.

Similarly, Dr. Sammy Sinno demonstrates how skillfully a neck lift can be performed. Blending precision and artistry, he expertly smoothed this patient’s jowls and created a much cleaner, well-defined jawline that blends effortlessly into her neck.

2. Even Skin Tightening

In the cases below, note how the skin looks uniformly firmer without irregularities, dimpling, or leftover sagging in certain areas. Combining a neck lift with a facelift provides comprehensive correction by addressing pronounced laxity, folds, and wrinkles in the lower face and neck.

4. Preserved Masculine Features (For Men)

A neck lift isn’t just ideal for the ladies! Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno understand that men considering facial plastic surgery have different anatomical and aesthetic needs than female patients. As demonstrated below, a well-performed neck lift on a male patient maintains a strong, angular jawline without softening or feminizing the facial structure.

Remember, results vary per patient, and your customized neck lift with Dr. Mustoe or Dr. Sinno may include a combination of surgical and nonsurgical procedures to achieve your ideal look.

Choosing an Experienced Neck Lift Surgeon

As these real patient transformations demonstrate, choosing an experienced, well-credentialed surgeon makes all the difference when pursuing a neck lift or other cosmetic procedures. Dr. Mustoe is internationally renowned for his pioneering deep-plane neck lift techniques, while Dr. Sinno’s signature neck lift techniques leave the jawline looking youthful, crisp, and refined. Both surgeons prioritize natural-looking results and employ surgical techniques that result in minimal downtime.
