Neck Lift Overview
Have you noticed that with time and age, the appearance of your neck and jaw area begins to change? It may no longer look as sculpted, attractive, or contoured as it once did. If your skin is starting to sag, wrinkle, and droop, Dr. Shire and his team understand how distressing these signs of aging can be, and they are ready to help.
A neck lift, also referred to as neckline surgery or turkey neck surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of your neck and jawline. Since some of the first signs of aging appear in the neck area, the development of loose skin can be difficult to accept. Undergoing a neck lift can result in a well-defined neck area, rejuvenating your appearance and taking years off your look.
Here are more details about the neck lift procedure and what you can expect:
- Small incisions are made, typically around the level of your ear and under your chin. The incisions near your ear are often hidden by your hairline.
- Skin and muscles are tightened and smoothed, and excess skin and fat can be removed if necessary.
- Neck lifts can also be combined with liposuction and other cosmetic procedures for more dramatic results.
At Shire Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shire and his exceptional team are proud to offer patients the best neck lift procedures in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.

How Much Does a Neck Lift Cost?
A typical neck lift costs between $5,000 and $12,000. Several factors influence the final price of your procedure, as each neck lift at Shire Facial Plastic Surgery is tailored to the individual goals, needs, and objectives of the patient.
Here are some key factors that can affect the cost of your neck lift:
- Surgeon’s Experience Level: Board-certified facial plastic surgeons, such as Dr. Shire, often charge more due to their specialized expertise and ability to deliver superior results compared to less experienced practitioners.
- Additional Fees: Anesthesia and facility fees can vary depending on the specifics of your surgery. These costs will be discussed during your consultation.
We use conscious sedation anesthesia at our state-of-the-art facility for optimal patient comfort and safety.
- Location: The cost of a neck lift can vary depending on the geographic location. Areas with a lower cost of living generally offer more affordable procedures, while high-cost living areas may have higher prices.
- Insurance: As a cosmetic procedure, a neck lift is not covered by insurance. Payment is typically out-of-pocket, though Shire Facial Plastic Surgery offers financing options to assist patients.
