Neck Lift
The angle that tells the truth.
Profile. Jawline. Chin to collarbone. Addressed once. Properly.
The neck is where time stops being subtle. MILA addresses the structure underneath. Not the surface. One session. Results that last.
THE NECK LIFT
The structure most facelifts leave behind.
Your neck is your profile. The view from the side in a meeting. The angle in a photo. The line from chin to collarbone that communicates age more clearly than almost any other feature.
At MILA, a neck lift is most frequently performed alongside the MILA Facelift — addressing the lower face and neck together in a single session. For patients whose primary concern is the neck, it is available as a standalone procedure.
The platysma muscle, submental fat, and excess skin cannot be meaningfully addressed without surgery. When the time is right, a neck lift is a permanent correction.
WHAT IT CORRECTS
Four things surgery actually fixes.
Platysmal Banding
The vertical cords that appear down the front of the neck. These are the edges of the platysma muscle and do not respond to non-surgical tightening. Surgical correction addresses the muscle directly.
Submental Fat
Fat directly below the chin that creates a blunted profile. Addressed through liposuction or direct excision, restoring the angle between chin and neck that defines a sharp jawline from the side.
Skin Laxity and Jowling
Skin that has lost elasticity descends below the mandible, creating the jowl. Neck lift surgery repositions and removes excess skin for a cleaner jaw-to-neck transition. Without the pulled look of an over-tightened result.
Cervicomental Angle
The angle from chin to neck. A defined cervicomental angle signals youth and proportion. When it blunts, due to fat, skin, or muscle, the neck appears heavy. Surgical correction restores the geometry permanently.
The profile.

HOW IT FITS YOUR PLAN
Most often combined. Always decided together.
The Combined Approach
A facelift that stops at the jaw and ignores the neck creates an incomplete result. The neck reveals age just as clearly as the face. Addressing both in a single session is the most efficient and coherent approach — one recovery, one result.
The Standalone
For patients with good facial structure and specific neck concerns, a standalone neck lift is a focused, permanent correction. Ideal for patients in their 40s and 50s whose primary frustration is the neck and jawline rather than the face.
Pricing
Neck lift add-on pricing is provided at consultation in writing, before any commitment is made. For the MILA Facelift, the flat rate covers the procedure, anesthesia, facility, and all follow-up. Neck lift is priced and disclosed separately and transparently.
The Recovery
When combined with the MILA Facelift, recovery timelines overlap. The addition of a neck lift does not meaningfully extend recovery beyond the facelift alone. You leave the same day. Most patients are noticeably refreshed within a week.
