The duration of the results depends on the type of procedures used. Neck lift improvements can last about 10 years, but this varies from patient to patient.   Patients need to be participants in their own care. It is critical to lead a healthy lifestyle and maintain a stable weight in order to retain the results.   Staying out of the sun is essential since excessive sun exposure tends to cause collagen degeneration. It is encouraged to use sunscreens and cosmeceuticals to enhance the appearance of the neck skin, especially in females who are more subject to laxity, compared to age matched males, whose neck skin is thicker because of the effect of testosterone.
