What Is The Signature Profile Neck Lift™?

Recontour your neck and jawline with minimal downtime.

The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is the minimally invasive procedure designed by leading Facial Plastic Surgeon Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS, to reduce common signs of aging, such as sagging skin beneath the chin (turkey neck), loss of volume, and visible muscle banding. This innovative procedure focuses on the neck, chin, and jawline, repositioning tissues to improve problem areas and achieve a contoured, youthful appearance.

The best way to see if the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is the right option for you is to meet with Dr. Clevens or Renata Khelemsky, MD, our facial plastic surgery specialists, to discuss your personal goals for your appearance.

Signature Profile Neck Lift™ Procedure

Rejuvenate your neckline for lasting results.

The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ procedure is most often performed in-office under local anesthesia. During the Signature Profile Neck Lift™, a zigzag-shaped incision is expertly placed under the chin to resemble a natural line or crease in the neck.

Dr. Clevens and Dr. Khelemsky customize the incision based on your unique anatomy, so it is well camouflaged and difficult to see after healing is complete. Then they address skin laxity and excess fat, tighten loose neck muscles to reduce banding, and use dissolvable sutures to close the incision.

Signature Profile Neck Lift™ Recovery

Fast results, smooth recovery.

After the Signature Profile Neck Lift™, many patients have a simple recovery process with minimal bruising and discomfort. It’s important to restrict normal activities and avoid heavy lifting and straining to facilitate a smooth recovery.

Most people are able to resume normal day-to-day activities within 5-7 days after the procedure. To speed up your recovery, we recommend you sleep with your head elevated with at least two pillows for the first week after surgery.

Anytime I called with a question or concern I was always called back in a timely manner. I am extremely particular and I highly recommend Dr. Clevens and his staff.

Before and After Photos

*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.

What is the Signature Profile Neck Lift™?

You may have seen a profile photograph of yourself and realized you’re unhappy with your neckline. The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is a unique procedure to address the laxity that forms in the neckline over time, tightening the neck muscles and removing excess skin to create a youthful, long-lasting profile appearance.

Am I a good candidate for this procedure?

The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is an ideal solution for anyone who has a lot of laxity in the neck and chin, as well as muscle banding, unwanted fat deposition, and excess sagging skin. If you want a facelift without the required downtime, or have too much excess tissue in the neck to enjoy the benefits of the Laser-Assisted Weekend Neck Lift™, the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ may also be right for you.

How is the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ performed?

The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is performed in our office under local anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Clevens or Dr. Khelemsky create and conceal a zigzag incision along the neckline. Then, they contour and remove the unwanted fat that's deposited in the area, tighten the underlying muscles, and remove any excess skin.

What are the benefits of the Signature Profile Neck Lift™?

The greatest benefit is a significant improvement in the contour of the neck and chin, because the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ tightens the lax muscles that often form bands on the neckline. Plus, the procedure can be safely and comfortably performed in the office under local anesthesia and requires a very small incision that is well hidden and fades over time.

How long does the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ last?

Among the great benefits of this procedure are long-lasting results. The Signature Profile Neck Lift™ lasts for many years, with some patients still enjoying the benefits 15-20 years out from this procedure.

What is the recovery like after the Signature Profile Neck Lift™?

After the Signature Profile Neck Lift™, a bandage is put in place and removed after about two to three days following the procedure. We find that most of our patients have very little discomfort after the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ and are able to return to work or their ordinary day-to-day activities after just a few days.

How is the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ different from the Laser-Assisted Weekend Neck Lift™?

The Laser-Assisted Weekend Neck Lift™ defines the jawline, neck, and chin, whereas the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is designed for patients who have more excess tissue in the neck line. That’s why the Signature Profile Neck Lift™ is ideal for any patient who has a lot of heaviness and laxity in the neck and chin area.

How do I ensure a successful surgery?

As you prepare for your consultation with your doctor, be ready to ask the right questions about your surgeon’s credentials, what to expect from your procedure, and how you’ll be supported during your recovery.
