Sculpt a More Youthful,
Self-Assured You
A neck lift can help reverse and slow down the inevitable effects of aging. Dr. Cabin uses his advanced procedures, artistic precision, and industry expertise to get natural-looking results that can take years off your appearance.
What Is a
Neck Lift?
A neck lift — also known as platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the visible signs of aging by tightening the skin on your neck and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds.
Using hidden incisions behind the ears or beneath the chin, Dr. Jonathan Cabin can tighten loose or hanging skin to the deeper structures of the neck, resulting in smoother, tighter skin and an overall more youthful neck contour. A neck lift procedure can be done on its own but is usually performed with a lower facelift or complete facelift.
How Is a Neck Lift Performed?
A neck lift rejuvenates your neck area by addressing issues such as sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat deposits. Dr. Cabin specializes in this transformative procedure, helping patients like you get a more youthful, defined neck contour.
Here’s what you can expect from your neck lift procedure:
Consultation
During this thorough, honest dialogue, Dr. Cabin will listen carefully to your concerns and goals. Then, he’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan that’s aligned with your unique needs and expectations so that you get the natural-looking neck you want.
Strategic, Minimally Invasive Incisions
During the procedure, you’ll be under general anesthesia. To begin, Dr. Cabin will make a series of discreet incisions placed strategically behind your ears and, in some cases, under your chin.
These well-concealed incision points allow for precise access to the underlying structures of your neck — including the muscles and fatty tissues — while ensuring minimal scarring and optimal results.
Neck Contouring
Dr. Cabin skillfully tightens your neck muscles, removes excess fat, and trims any redundant skin.
This process restores youthful contours to your neck, eliminating the appearance of jowls and getting you the smoother, more refined profile you desire. The end result is a natural-looking neck that enhances your overall facial appearance.
Post-Surgery Appointments & Recovery
Following your procedure, Dr. Cabin will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a full recovery. While some swelling and bruising are common at first, these effects will gradually subside over time.
You’ll also need to follow up with Dr. Cabin after your procedure. These post-surgery appointments allow Dr. Cabin to track your progress and recovery and help you optimize your treatment results.

Why Choose
Dr. Cabin?
As you age, drooping skin, excess fat, and weakened muscles around your neck can create jowl lines, excessive wrinkling, and a “turkey neck” that can detract from your natural beauty.
While a healthy diet, sun protection, and exercise can help maintain a youthful appearance, you can always avoid the natural aging process with these methods alone.
A neck lift helps improve the appearance of your neck, helping unleash a more youthful and ravishing you. Dr. Jonathan Cabin is a neck lift surgery expert in Arlington, VA, specializing in neck plastic surgery that can help address any aesthetic neck issues.
What’s the Recovery Process for a Neck Lift?
Your neck lift recovery process requires some patience, as you won’t be able to return to work for up to two weeks following the surgery. You’ll also need to refrain from sports or physical activity for three or more weeks so that your neck and skin can fully heal.
During this time, you may have some swelling and bruising around your neck and incision points. You may also experience a feeling of tightness, tingling, and pulling.
All swelling, bruising, and discomfort should subside after a few weeks, giving you a more youthful, revitalized appearance and restored confidence.
