Technically, there is no one “right” time to get neck lift. While everyone is different, most patients do not develop significant signs of aging until they are closer to age 40. If you do wait until your 50s or later to get neck lift, keep in mind that the surgery is not likely to have your neck looking like it did in your 20s. On average, neck lift takes about five to 10 years of off your appearance, though results may vary.
