Neck Lift Simulator
See the angle between chin and neck rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
What a neck lift actually does
The neck is addressed by tightening the platysma muscle, removing fat under the chin, and redraping skin. It is frequently done alongside a facelift because the two areas descend together.
Which measurement points to a neck lift
No measurement here reads the neck. What the face shape detector does report is jaw width, and a poorly defined jaw-to-neck line is one of the things that makes a jaw measurement read soft.
How long a neck lift lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Long-lasting.
Typical cost
Roughly $5,000–$12,000 in the United States, less when combined with a facelift.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a neck lift
That it is one operation. Fat under the chin, muscle banding and loose skin are three separate problems that look similar in the mirror and are addressed differently, sometimes in the same procedure and sometimes not.
How to read neck lift before and after photos
Chin position is everything here. A chin raised slightly in the after photograph tightens any neck, and it is the most common inconsistency in these comparisons.
Neck Lift recovery — what is typically reported
Two to three weeks of visible recovery, often with a compression garment early on, and settling over months.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a neck lift
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1Is my concern fat, muscle banding, or skin — and does your plan address that one?
- 2Will this need a facelift component to look consistent?
- 3What is your approach to the platysma specifically?
What this neck lift simulation cannot show
The render sharpens the jaw-to-neck line in the frame. It cannot distinguish fat from loose platysma from skin laxity, and the three lead to different operations.
Alternatives to a neck lift
How the neck lift simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes the angle between chin and neck while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Neck Lift simulator — frequently asked questions
Can exercise fix a double chin?
Submental fat does not respond to targeted exercise, and neither does loose platysma. Overall weight loss can reduce the fat component; the skin and muscle components do not respond to it.
What is a platysmal band?
A vertical cord visible down the front of the neck, caused by the edges of the platysma muscle separating and tightening with age. It is one of the three things a neck lift addresses and the one that filler cannot.
Will a neck lift fix a double chin?
Where the cause is submental fat, fat removal addresses it. Where it is muscle banding or loose skin, it does not — which is why assessment separates them.
Can filler define the jaw instead?
Filler adds definition along the jaw itself. It does nothing for what sits below it, so a neck component limits how much filler achieves.
Is it always done with a facelift?
No, but frequently. The two areas age together and treating one alone can look inconsistent.
Is the neck lift simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI neck lift simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.
Other lifts simulations
This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
