Neck Lift Surgery in Tucson
Sculpt Your Neckline, Restore Confidence
A sagging or wrinkled neck can add years to your appearance, even if your face still looks youthful. At Tucson Cosmetics, we offer Neck Lift surgery as a highly effective solution for treating loose skin, horizontal bands, “turkey neck,” and fullness under the chin. Whether performed alone or in combination with other procedures, a Neck Lift can dramatically rejuvenate the jawline and neckline with natural-looking results.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A Neck Lift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and redefine the contours of the neck and chin area. It is ideal for patients experiencing sagging skin, prominent neck bands, and a double chin due to aging or genetics.
This procedure can be customized to your anatomy and goals and is often paired with other treatments such as a Mini Facelift, Eyelid Lift, or liposuction.
How is this procedure performed?
Your procedure is performed in our on-site surgical suite under local anesthesia and oral sedation—eliminating the risks of general anesthesia. Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, Dr. Rubbani may use one or more of the following methods:
-
Endotine® Thread Suspension: A ribbon-like device used to elevate and support tissues.
-
Surgical Excision: Direct removal of loose skin and tissue under the chin or sides of the neck.
-
VASER® Liposuction + Renuvion®: For precision fat removal and advanced skin tightening from underneath.
Dr. Rubbani brings the same meticulous technique to Neck Lift procedures as she does to her ocular surgeries, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing.
Recovery
Most patients feel comfortable within 1–2 days after surgery. You should still plan on taking it easy for the first week. Bruising and swelling may occur but are minimized with detailed aftercare instructions and pre-surgical supplementation.

FAQ – Neck Lift at Tucson Cosmetics
You may be a candidate if you have loose neck skin, visible bands, or excess fat under the chin and are in generally good health. It’s also ideal if you want a refreshed neckline without undergoing a full facelift.
Dr. Rubbani uses discreet incisions and ocular-level closure techniques to minimize scarring. Most incisions are hidden behind the ears or under the chin and fade significantly over time.
Liposuction removes excess fat but doesn’t address sagging skin or neck bands. A Neck Lift tightens muscles and removes extra skin for more dramatic and lasting rejuvenation.
