Get the Jawline You Want: Why Combine a Necklift with Contouring

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the neck and jawline are often the most telling features of age and definition. For many patients, combining a necklift with jawline contouring offers a powerful solution to restore balance and achieve a sharp, sculpted profile. 

These complementary procedures work together to reduce sagging, remove excess fat, and define the lower face, all with natural-looking results.

FacePLUS+ Plastic Surgery Institute customizes each treatment plan to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Why Combine These Procedures?

A neck lift and jawline contouring procedure can dramatically reshape and rejuvenate the lower third of the face. 

While a standalone neck lift tightens sagging skin and removes excess fat from the neck area, jawline contouring sharpens the edges of the jaw for a more structured appearance. 

By addressing both areas in a single surgical plan, patients can achieve more comprehensive results and better facial harmony.

This combination can restore youthfulness and balance for individuals with loose skin, weakened muscles, stubborn fat deposits in the neck, and soft or underdefined jawlines. It’s especially effective for those who feel their facial features don’t reflect their age or energy level.

Benefits of a Defined Profile

Pairing a necklift with jawline contouring offers multiple aesthetic and functional benefits:

• Enhanced Definition: Achieve sharper angles, cleaner lines, and a more athletic look.

• Facial Harmony: Ensure your chin, jaw, and neck all align for a balanced appearance.

• Streamlined Recovery: Instead of undergoing two separate procedures, combining them means one recovery period and less overall downtime.

• Long-Lasting Results: Both surgeries offer durable outcomes, particularly when paired with good skincare and a healthy lifestyle.

• Boosted Confidence: A defined profile can enhance both your appearance and self-image.

These combined procedures are popular among both men and women looking to reclaim a youthful neck and jawline with subtle yet powerful results.

The Surgical Process

The procedure begins with a personalized consultation to assess your facial anatomy and goals. During surgery, your surgeon may:

• Remove or reposition fat deposits under the chin

• Tighten the platysma muscles of the neck

• Trim and lift loose skin

• Sculpt the jawline using liposuction or structural reshaping

Depending on your needs, this can be done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The entire surgery typically takes 2–4 hours.

When to See Results

Most patients return to light activity within 7–10 days. 

Swelling and mild bruising are common during the first week but gradually fade. A compression garment may be used to support healing and reduce swelling. Results begin to appear within two to three weeks, with full outcomes visible in two to three months. 

You’ll notice a more contoured neckline, a sharper jawline, and an overall refreshed appearance. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure the best possible recovery and results.

Is This Combo Right for You?

The best candidates are individuals with good overall health, realistic expectations, and visible concerns in the neck and jawline area, such as sagging, jowls, or a poorly defined jaw. 

If you’re looking for a comprehensive facial refresh with natural-looking enhancement, this combination procedure may be ideal.

A consultation with the surgeons at FacePLUS+ Plastic Surgery Institute will help determine whether a dual approach is the best fit for your aesthetic goals.
