Neck Lift (Holiday Neck Lift®) Gallery Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills | Patient 03

Patient Details

This younger patient underwent a Holiday Neck Lift® to address neck angle blunting and lack of jawline definition. Her concern was that her face and neck appeared as almost one continuous plane, without clear separation. The procedure created structural improvements that non-surgical treatments cannot replicate which include:

• Neck angle improvement: Clear definition restored between the jawline and neck
• Jawline separation: Eliminated the continuous face-to-neck plane, creating true distinction between facial structures
• Frontal profile refinement: Slimmed appearance from the front while maintaining depth in profile view
• Incision invisibility: small incision under the chin and incisions behind the ear

Recovery Timeline and Procedure Details

Q: How quickly can you return to normal activities after a Holiday Neck Lift®?

A: The downtime for this procedure is approximately one week to 10 days.

Q: Can the Holiday Neck Lift® be performed in the office?

A: Yes. The Holiday Neck Lift® can be performed either in the office under local anesthesia with light sedation (or an oral relaxation pill) or in the operating room. The small incision under the chin (about 2 cm) and incisions behind the ears in the natural crease allow for this flexibility.

Q: Who is a good candidate for the Holiday Neck Lift®?

A: This procedure is ideal for patients who aren't ready for a full facelift or simply don't need one. It addresses neck angle blunting, fullness under the chin (typically due to fat), and fullness underneath the jawline that prevents definition and depth. Liposuction alone cannot achieve the same result.

Q: Can fillers achieve the same result?

A: No. The amount of filler required to attempt this level of definition would be substantial, and fillers still cannot create the same structural change. Fillers add width to the frontal view, while the Holiday Neck Lift® actually slims the frontal profile while creating depth and definition.
