Neck Lift
If sagging skin or loss of definition in your neck is affecting your confidence, it may be time to consider a neck lift. Triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease, MD, has performed numerous neck lift surgeries in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas, helping patients achieve a smoother, more sculpted neckline with natural, long-lasting results.
















What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity. This transformative procedure enhances the jawline and neck contour, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
During a neck lift, excess skin is removed, underlying muscles are tightened, and fat deposits may be reduced or repositioned to achieve a more defined and sculpted look. The procedure is often combined with a facelift or other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
For those considering a neck lift in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease offers advanced techniques and personalized care to deliver stunning, natural-looking results.
