Plastic surgeon Dr. Bradley Bengtson specializes in neck lift surgery, helping his Grand Rapids, Birmingham, and Detroit area patients lose the loose, sagging skin around their neck, reduce the bulge that creates a double chin, and refine their jawline.
Weight loss, aging, or heredity can all contribute to a neck that has extra skin or fatty deposits beneath the chin. If you are tired of hiding your “turkey neck” under scarves or high-collared shirts, perhaps it’s time to consider neck lift surgery.

If you are tired of hiding your “turkey neck” under scarves or high-collared shirts, perhaps it’s time to consider our Grand Rapids neck lift surgery. At the Bengtson Center, this procedure often includes liposuction to reduce the fat pocket under the chin, followed by removal of the extra skin. A neck lift is performed as part of facelift surgery. As a result of neck lift surgery, our Grand Rapids, Birmingham, and Detroit area patients report feeling younger and more restored due to their newly defined appearance, which not only emphasizes the neck but also complements the face.

If you prefer a non-surgical approach to improving signs of facial and neck aging, Ultherapy, dermal fillers, and BOTOX Cosmetic injections may also be used to effectively rejuvenate your appearance. Ultherapy is a new, non-surgical approach to improving a sagging neck by using focused ultrasound to effectively lift and tighten skin.
All treatments are office procedures that may be performed in less than one hour with minimal to no downtime. Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses pulsed, focused ultrasound transmitted through the skin without treating or damaging it. Using the body’s own natural healing process, Ultherapy lifts, tones, and tightens loose skin under the chin and on the brow and neck. One Ultherapy treatment can predictably tighten loose neck skin, improving definition.
In patients with early jowling and without excessive skin redundancy, Ultherapy may be an option. Visit our Ultherapy page to learn more.
