Is a Neck Lift Right for Me?
If sagging skin or neck bands are making you appear older than you feel, a neck lift may be the right solution. Dr. Hardy conducts a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if this procedure is the safest and most effective option for you.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have loose or sagging skin under the chin or jawline
- Notice vertical neck bands or creases that age your appearance
- Struggle with fatty deposits creating the look of a double chin
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
- Do not smoke, or are committed to quitting before and after surgery
Dr. Hardy will walk you through every option, ensuring you understand your candidacy and what results you can realistically expect.

During your consultation, he will explain the benefits of pairing procedures and help design a safe, personalized plan for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Lifts in Polson
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Dr. Hardy’s approach is designed to restore a smoother neckline and more youthful profile without creating an artificial or “pulled” appearance. We invite patients to browse the results in our photo gallery.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal routines within two weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually fade, and final results become clearer over several months.
Is a neck lift permanent?
No surgery can stop aging, but the results of a neck lift can last for many years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skin care routine can help extend your results.
Can a neck lift help define my jawline?
Yes. By tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin, a neck lift can dramatically improve jawline definition and reduce the look of jowls or a double chin.
How does a neck lift differ from a facelift?
A facelift focuses on the mid- and lower-face, while a neck lift specifically addresses sagging skin, fat deposits, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline. Many patients choose to combine both procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
