Neck Lift in Oklahoma City.

A neck lift tightens the loose muscle bands and removes the extra skin and fat that blur the line between jaw and neck. It is the operation for the neck that bothers you in photos taken from the side.

Some necks need the muscle corset repaired; some need skin removed; some need only the fat under the chin sculpted. The exam decides — and when the face has dropped too, a facelift and neck lift are one combined operation.

Neck-only surgery is real surgery with a real exam behind it. If a surgeon quotes you a neck plan without examining how your skin, muscle, and fat each contribute, keep looking.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep), or deep sedation for smaller plans.
  2. The surgeon makes a small cut under the chin, and often short cuts behind each ear.
  3. Fat under the chin is sculpted — directly or with liposuction.
  4. The loose neck muscle bands (the platysma) are stitched together like closing a corset.
  5. Extra skin is redraped or trimmed behind the ears.
  6. The cuts are closed with fine stitches. A soft chin wrap goes on. Most patients go home the same day.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.

  • Numb areas under the chin and jaw that wake up over months.
  • Weakness of the lower-lip muscles from a bruised nerve. This almost always recovers; lasting weakness is rare.
  • A pocket of blood under the skin (hematoma) that may need quick drainage.
  • Skin irregularities or banding that returns with time.
  • Scars behind the ears or under the chin that stay visible.
  • Uneven results. The two sides are never a perfect match.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Problems from anesthesia. These are rare in healthy people.
  • The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

Recovery, honestly

What the weeks actually look like.

The arc

First few daysTightness under the chin and a soft wrap. Sleep with your head raised; walk a little every day.
One weekStitches out; bruising fading down the neck. Most people are presentable in a collar.
Two weeksDesk work and public life feel normal for most patients.
Six weeksFull exercise. The new neckline keeps refining as swelling clears.
MonthsNumb areas wake up; the jawline settles into its final definition.

When to call, day or night

In any emergency, call 911 first

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now — do not drive yourself, do not wait:

  • Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
  • Fainting, sudden confusion, or weakness on one side of the body.
  • One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
  • Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.

Otherwise call 405-751-0042, day or night, if:

  • Sudden, tight, one-sided swelling of the neck — call immediately, day or night.
  • You have a fever of 101.5°F (38.6°C) or higher.
  • Redness spreads out from an incision, or you see pus.

Cost, answered

What a neck lift actually costs.

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.

How pricing worksFinancing options
When the face and neck have aged together, one combined lift beats two separate recoveries — combinations are examined and priced as one plan.

Questions

Asked at nearly every consult.

How long does the surgery take?
One to three hours depending on whether muscle repair and skin removal are both needed. Most patients go home the same day.
When can I be back at work?
Desk work is realistic at one to two weeks depending on bruising and your comfort being seen. Full exercise restarts at six weeks.
Will there be scars?
A small scar under the chin and, when skin is removed, fine scars tucked behind the ears. All are placed in natural creases and fade over the year.
What does it cost?
Pricing is personal — it depends on your anatomy and the complexity of your plan. Your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included.
Can I have my surgery in Oklahoma City?
Yes — Oklahoma Surgical Arts operates two operating rooms in Oklahoma City, and surgery can be scheduled in OKC or Tulsa. Your surgery, your choice of city.
