Male Neck Lift
Stronger, Sharper Necklines Without Overcorrection
If sagging skin or loose muscles along your neck and jawline make you look older or less defined than you feel, you’re not alone. Many men notice these changes with age, weight loss, or genetics.
A neck lift for men at Dr. Rob Kessler’s Newport Beach practice offers a powerful way to restore a firm, youthful contour without losing the masculine features that make you look unique.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A male neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens and redefines the neck and jawline by removing excess skin, repositioning underlying tissue, and repairing muscle bands contributing to a sagging appearance. The surgery creates a cleaner, more structured neck contour while preserving natural strength and proportions.
Dr. Kessler tailors every neck lift for men to the patient’s anatomy and goals. Techniques can range from a full surgical lift to a minimally invasive neck contouring approach, depending on what’s best for your features and lifestyle.
Who Is a Candidate for a Neck Lift?
You may be a good candidate if you’re a healthy man bothered by loose skin, visible neck bands, or soft tissue fullness along your neck and jaw. Many candidates in their 40s to 70s want a subtle, lasting, and masculine solution.
Ideal patients do not smoke, are in good general health, and have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve.
What to Expect During Surgery
Your neck lift is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation based on your treatment plan and comfort preferences. Dr. Kessler makes discreet incisions, often hidden behind the ears and under the chin, to access and reshape the underlying muscle and tissue.
He then tightens the platysma muscle, removes or repositions fat as needed, and carefully redrapes the skin for a firm, natural finish. The entire procedure typically takes two to three hours, and you’ll return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.
What to Expect After a Neck Lift
Most men experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the first week. Dr. Kessler will monitor your healing with follow-up visits and guide you through recovery. You’ll likely feel ready for light activities within ten to fourteen days, with more strenuous exercise resuming after about a month.
Your neck will gradually refine over the following weeks, revealing a more sculpted and youthful contour that looks authentic to your features.
Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery for Men
A neck lift provides a stronger, cleaner neckline that enhances your facial profile. Men often choose this surgery for the improved definition along the jaw and under the chin, the reduction of excess skin and fullness, and the refreshed, confident look it provides.
Dr. Kessler’s approach ensures results that enhance—not feminize—your appearance, delivering a natural, understated improvement that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Cost of a Neck Lift in Newport Beach
Neck lift pricing varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, surgical technique, and whether it’s combined with other facial enhancements.
Dr. Kessler provides a detailed, personalized estimate during your consultation and can discuss financing options to make your care as accessible as possible.

” Patient Testimonial
Dr. Kessler is not only one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met, he is also one of the finest highly skilled physicians around. He truly does care about every patient’s goals and will do whatever he can to help achieve those goals.
I had a face/neck lift and Dr. Kessler did such a wonderful job that no one could tell I had plastic surgery. My procedure went off with so little bruising and swelling that the nurses taking care of me the day after couldn’t believe I just had a facelift.
My friends that know I had a procedure tell me I look at least 10 years younger and my friends that don’t know tell me I look like I lost weight. People I meet now think I’m at least 10 years younger than I am.
I would definitely use Dr. Kessler for other procedures and highly recommend him to anyone.
