Neck lift surgery is a common cosmetic surgery (breast augmentation is #1) in the US with over 50,000 people having it done every year. When neck lift surgery is performed: 1) by one of our board-certified plastic surgeons with both training and experience in the procedure 2) on the proper patient (not everyone is a candidate for neck left) and 3) in a safe surgical environment like our state certified North Scottsdale Outpatient Surgery Center, the risks of anesthesia and and of surgical complications are low.
