Neck Contouring in Orange County, Newport Beach, & Bakersfield
The neck is the most obvious indicator of how old we are. The neck’s rapid aging is due to the fact that the skin is much thinner and more delicate than the skin on our faces. Additionally, our necks undergo the same wear and tear as our faces, but receive much less tender love and care.
As a result, our necks often age much more rapidly than any other body part. If your neck is a major source of insecurity for you, our experienced plastic surgeon wants to change that.

What is Deep Neck Contouring?
Neck contouring is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon makes small, discreet incisions near the ears and, when needed, beneath the chin to access and tighten the underlying neck muscles and remove or reposition excess skin and fat. These adjustments help restore a smoother, firmer, and more defined appearance to the neck, chin, and jawline for a more youthful facial profile.
Deep Neck Contouring Cost in California
Because neck contouring is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by health insurance. The cost can vary depending on the type of treatment performed, with procedures generally ranging from $1,200 to $12,700. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost is approximately $5,774.
Several factors can influence the overall price, including:
- The surgeon performing the procedure and their level of experience
- The specific neck contouring technique used
- The complexity of the treatment
- The location of the practice and facility fees
Non-surgical neck contouring treatments are typically more affordable than surgical options, as they require less extensive treatment and recovery. A consultation with your surgeon can help determine the best approach and provide a more accurate cost estimate based on your individual goals.
Surgical Neck Tightening Procedures in Orange County, Newport Beach, & Bakersfield, CA
Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck area. A small incision is made under the chin, and the fat is carefully suctioned out. The procedure typically takes about an hour and helps create a more defined jawline and neck contour.
Neck Lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves sagging skin and loose neck muscles by making small incisions behind the ears. The surgeon tightens the underlying muscles, removes excess skin, and may also reduce fat in the chin and neck area. Swelling may take several weeks to months to fully resolve before final results become visible.
While neck contouring can significantly improve the appearance of the neck and profile, it does not stop the natural aging process or permanently prevent future changes. Over time, skin laxity and volume changes may gradually return.
Chin Lift
A chin lift is a procedure used to reduce the appearance of a double chin by removing excess fat and tightening loose skin. Similar to a neck lift, the surgeon may create small incisions around the ears and beneath the chin to remove fat and improve skin firmness. Another option is chin liposuction, which focuses on removing excess fat deposits to create a more defined chin and jawline.
Jawline Contouring Surgery/V-Line Surgery
Also known as V-line surgery, jawline contouring reshapes the jaw structure to create a more balanced facial profile. It can help individuals with a wider or more square-shaped face caused by factors such as a prominent jawbone or enlarged jaw muscles. For those with a narrow or elongated face, implants may be used to add volume and improve facial proportions.
Potential Risks: Like any surgical procedure, double chin removal and neck/jawline contouring carry possible risks, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, anesthesia complications, scarring, nerve injury, skin changes, poor wound healing, asymmetry, and the possibility of needing additional procedures. Following your surgeon’s instructions and choosing an experienced provider can help reduce these risks.
Non-Surgical Neck Tightening in Orange County, Newport Beach & California
For those who want to improve the appearance of their neck and jawline without surgery, there are several non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment options available. These procedures can help address concerns such as wrinkles, loose skin, excess fat, and loss of definition with little to no downtime.
Botox (Nefertiti Lift)
Botox can be used to relax the platysma muscles in the neck, helping reduce the appearance of vertical neck bands and improve jawline definition. This treatment is often called a “Nefertiti lift” and can create a smoother, more elongated neck appearance. Results typically last about 3–4 months.
Dermal Fillers
Injectable fillers can help restore volume, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging in the neck area. Often referred to as a “liquid neck lift,” fillers can stimulate collagen production and provide results that typically last 6–12 months.
Kybella
Kybella is an injectable treatment made with deoxycholic acid that targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of a double chin, with results that can be long-lasting once the fat cells are eliminated. Many patients require multiple treatments, usually spaced about a month apart, with noticeable improvements appearing within 4–6 weeks after treatment begins.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling uses tiny needles and heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production beneath the skin. This treatment can improve wrinkles, skin texture, and signs of sun damage while requiring minimal recovery time.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production. It can improve neck firmness and is often chosen by patients looking for a non-surgical neck-tightening option with results that gradually appear over 2–3 months.
Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment
CO2 laser resurfacing treatments improve skin quality, tone, and texture by addressing signs of aging, wrinkles, and sun damage. It is considered one of the more effective laser treatments for rejuvenating the skin and creating longer-lasting improvements.
Ways To Achieve A Younger-Looking Neck Without Surgery
If a surgical or non-surgical neck rejuvenation treatment is not the right option for you at the moment, there are simple skincare and lifestyle habits that can help maintain a smoother, healthier-looking neck while protecting your skin over time.
Protect Your Skin From The Sun
Daily sun protection is one of the most important steps in preventing premature aging. Applying sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to your neck, in addition to your face, can help protect this delicate area from sun damage. Because the skin on the neck is thinner and more sensitive, it is especially prone to concerns such as fine lines, age spots, and loss of firmness. Avoiding tanning beds is also important, as UV exposure can accelerate skin aging and contribute to wrinkles.
Add Retinoids To Your Skincare Routine
Retinoids, including ingredients such as retinol, retinyl palmitate, and retinoic acid, can help improve the appearance of aging skin by stimulating collagen production and increasing cell turnover. With consistent use, retinoids may help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and sun damage, helping the neck maintain a smoother and more youthful appearance.
