Surgical neck lifts are the gold standard for removing excess skin, tightening loose skin, and reducing the bands (or “cords”) on the neck. In 2019, close to 55,000 people had a surgical neck lift procedure.
That said, the number of people wanting to change the appearance of their skin without going under the knife is on the rise. Nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedures aren’t as dramatic as surgical treatments.
They can, however, help improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and neck folds, and give the contour of your neck a more youthful look.
A few of the other benefits of nonsurgical cosmetic treatments over surgical procedures include:
- Quicker recovery time. Recovery times for many nonsurgical neck lift procedures range from just a few hours to a few days. Side effects are generally minimal, and include redness, irritation, swelling, tenderness, and soreness at an injection site.
- Less expensive. A surgical neck lift averages $5,100. Nonsurgical procedures, on the other hand, range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the treatment.
- Shorter procedure. In general, most nonsurgical procedures take 30 to 90 minutes, compared with surgical procedures that can take several hours.
- Fewer risks overall. Since general anesthesia and large incisions aren’t required for nonsurgical procedures, there’s a reduced risk to your health.
Types of nonsurgical neck lifts
While this isn’t an exhaustive list of your options, the following nonsurgical procedures are often used to minimize the signs of aging in neck skin.
Botox
Injectable therapies like Botox (botulinum toxin type A injection) can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
“Although off-label, many dermatologists utilize Botox injections along the neck and vertical neck bands… to quiet muscle movement on the neck and relax the downward-pulling motion of the neck muscle,” says Dr. Melanie Palm, a board certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon.
Botox is nearly painless, requires minimal-to-no downtime, and taskin treakes minimal time to complete. The average cost of Botox is about $400.
To maintain results, you’ll need to go in for a treatment every 3 to 4 months.
