Short Scar Necklift in Dallas, TX | Dr. Yash Plastic Surgery

A short scar necklift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline using smaller, more discreet incisions than a traditional neck lift. This advanced technique tightens underlying muscles, repositions soft tissues, and removes excess skin to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful contour. Unlike older methods, the short scar approach minimizes visible scarring and shortens recovery time, while still producing dramatic, natural-looking results.

At Dr. Yash Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Yash Avashia uses his extensive training in facial and reconstructive surgery to deliver elegant results that restore confidence and balance. Patients often choose the short scar necklift as a solution to sagging skin, jowls, and “turkey neck” without the longer scars associated with traditional neck lift surgery.

What Is a Short Scar Necklift?

A short scar necklift is a modern variation of the traditional neck lift that focuses on improving the jawline, chin, and upper neck area. Instead of using a long incision that extends behind the ear and into the hairline, this technique requires smaller incisions hidden in natural creases around the ear.

Through these openings, Dr. Yash tightens the platysma muscle, repositions underlying tissues, and carefully removes loose skin to restore a defined neck and jawline. The result is a refreshed, youthful profile without the extended downtime of older surgical approaches.

How Can a Short Scar Necklift Improve My Appearance?

The short scar necklift addresses some of the most common concerns patients face as they age, including:

  • Sagging skin under the chin (“turkey neck”)
  • Jowls that blur the jawline
  • Loose platysma muscles causing vertical neck banding
  • Early signs of aging in younger patients who don’t yet need a full facelift
  • Residual skin laxity after weight loss

By tightening both skin and underlying structures, the procedure provides a long-lasting lift that looks natural and balanced with the rest of your facial features.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Short Scar Necklift?

Ideal candidates for this procedure are men and women who:

  • Notice early to moderate sagging in the neck and jawline
  • Have good skin elasticity and tone
  • Want a minimally invasive alternative to a full facelift or neck lift
  • Are in good overall health and don’t smoke
  • Have realistic expectations for the outcome

If you’re bothered by a sagging or poorly defined neckline but don’t require a more extensive lift, a short scar necklift may be the right option for you.

Let's Get Started

What Can I Expect Before, During, and After My Necklift?

Before Surgery

Dr. Yash will meet with you in a private consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your anatomy. He will explain whether a short scar neck lift, a full neck lift, or a combined procedure (such as a neck lift with a facelift) is best suited for your needs.

During Surgery

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Small incisions are made around the ear, carefully hidden in natural contours. The platysma muscle is tightened, fat may be sculpted or repositioned, and loose skin is trimmed. The remaining skin is gently redraped for a smooth, firm appearance. Most procedures take 2–3 hours, depending on whether additional techniques are used.

After Surgery

Patients spend one night in the Cloister, the overnight facility at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. You will be cared for by a 24-hour nurse, and Dr. Yash will personally check on you the evening of your surgery and the following morning. Swelling and bruising are normal during the first week and improve steadily. Most patients return to social activities within 10–14 days, with final results visible in 4–6 weeks.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a short scar necklift is often quicker than with traditional neck lift surgery. Patients usually resume light activity within a week and high-impact exercise after about a month.

Results are long-lasting, often 10 years or more, depending on skin quality, age, and lifestyle. Patients enjoy a sharper, more defined jawline, smoother neck contour, and a naturally youthful profile.
