A neck lift is designed to tighten sagging skin of the neck, re-establish integrity of the neck muscles, remove excess fatty tissue in the neck, and improve the jawline. The approach to a neck lift depends on individual presentation, but in general, incisions are strategically placed in the natural creases around the ear up to the sideburns, and possibly under the chin. The objective is a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance that looks effortlessly beautiful and natural.
Good candidates for a neck lift are men and women between 30 and 80 years of age in good physical and psychological health with poorly defined neck and jawlines. A neck lift helps rejuvenate patients who have signs of aging and restore appearance in individuals who have sustained massive weight loss.
This procedure may be combined with a full facelift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, facial fat grafting, or chin implant to provide better balance to the entire face and neck. During the initial consultation you will discuss with Dr. Shermak what you would like to improve so she can understand your expectations and determine how to best achieve your desired results.
Surgery tends to be performed on an outpatient basis. You may experience temporary swelling, numbness, and bruising that respond well to head elevation, compressive wrapping, ice packs and Arnica Montana herbal supplementation.
You will be seen in the office within 1 to 3 days to have dressings removed. Sutures are removed after one week. Makeup may be applied by 2 weeks after surgery. Most clients resume regular activities and return to work within 1-2 weeks, and swelling may take up to a month to resolve. Stitches are removed 7 to 10 days after surgery.

This is a new day, with new safety protocols. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and respect the continued concerns COVID-19 may present.
The state of Maryland is now fortunately downgraded to Yellow Status. COVID stress on the medical system has lessened and most areas in the state no longer mandate masks.
Currently in our office we are maintaining sterile surfaces and compulsive cleaning protocols – as always. We are requesting information about vaccination status, to particularly better help us prepare for patients interested in surgical procedures.
We are not mandating masks. We do respect our patients’ wishes and will wear a mask when requested to do so. We want our patients to be absolutely comfortable. All of our staff are vaccinated.
This is certainly an evolving issue and we will continue to pivot as COVID statistics change – hopefully for the better! Thank you!
