Consultation
So you're noticing the first hints of a softer jawline or subtle double chin appearing in your selfies or Zoom calls. Beverly Hills moves fast, looking fresh matters—especially around events like award season, summer weddings, or the holidays. Dr. William Harris at Harris Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics created the Holiday Neck Lift™ precisely for professionals and younger adults who want subtle enhancements without disrupting their busy lives. It’s the ideal treatment to slide into a long weekend or holiday break, giving you just enough time to bounce back quickly and discreetly.
Your Shortcut to a Sleek Neckline
The Holiday Neck Lift™, or Midline Neck Lift, is a targeted, minimally invasive procedure using the deep plane technique that addresses mild neck laxity and early signs of aging beneath the chin. Dr. Harris uses hidden incisions under the chin and possibly behind the ears to carefully tighten muscles, remove stubborn fat, and refine your neck's contours with specialized nano-fat or micro-fat injections. The goal is natural, understated rejuvenation—looking like yourself, just refreshed and subtly better.

Why Deep Plane Technique Matters
When considering neck rejuvenation procedures, understanding the differences between a traditional neck lift and the Holiday Neck Lift™ is essential. While traditional neck lifts typically focus on addressing superficial tissues through skin tightening and fat removal, the Holiday Neck Lift™ employs advanced deep plane techniques to target the deeper layers of the neck and jawline.
Traditional neck lifts often involve longer incisions around the ears, addressing primarily loose skin and surface-level fat. This approach can improve skin laxity but might not fully address deeper structural issues, like the sagging of underlying muscles (platysma) and deeper fat pockets. Because the procedure is less comprehensive beneath the surface, results can sometimes appear less defined, with shorter longevity compared to deep plane approaches.
In contrast, the Holiday Neck Lift™ uses a deep plane method. This technique allows Dr. Harris to comprehensively reposition and contour deep neck structures, significantly tightening the platysma muscle and removing deeper fat pockets for a more sculpted, defined outcome. The deep plane technique provides dramatic yet natural-looking definition along the jawline and beneath the chin, resulting in longer-lasting rejuvenation compared to traditional approaches.
Deciding between a deep plane facelift and a Holiday Neck Lift™ often comes down to your lifestyle, the results you're after, and how quickly you want to be back in action. The deep plane facelift is great for more extensive aging concerns, but it does involve longer incisions and more downtime. This makes a facelift less convenient if you have an active social calendar packed with events like film premieres, charity galas, or packed weekends.
In contrast, the Holiday Neck Lift™ is precisely tailored for impactful and refined results with minimal interruption to your daily life. Hidden incisions beneath your chin and possibly just behind the ears mean quicker healing, barely noticeable incisions, and the ease of fitting this procedure into a short break, like a Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving holiday, or even a long weekend getaway.
Here's a quick snapshot to help you compare:
| Feature | Holiday Neck Lift™ | Deep Plane Face Lift |
| Incision Location | Single discreet incision under chin and possibly behind ears | Incisions around ears and chin |
| Recovery Time | Typically 7-9 days | Usually 2-3 weeks |
| Ideal For | Younger patients, subtle signs of aging | More notable face and neck laxity, significant aging signs |
| Scarring Visibility | Minimal, hidden | Notable during initial recovery period |
| Anesthesia | Local with sedation or twilight/general anesthesia | Usually twilight or general anesthesia |
Dr. Harris has chosen the deep plane technique for his Holiday Neck Lift™ due to its superior results and longevity. This comprehensive approach ensures deeper structures of the neck are addressed, providing results that not only look refined and natural but also age gracefully. Patients frequently appreciate how subtle yet striking their outcomes are, highlighting Dr. Harris's expertise and commitment to aesthetic excellence.
Look Your Best—From Brunch to Red Carpet
Looking your best can mean the difference between just attending events and truly enjoying them. A Holiday Neck Lift™ gives you that confidence boost, especially when you have important moments on your calendar—like holiday parties, weddings, or social events where you'll be photographed. You’ll feel ready for Beverly Hills staples like brunch at the Polo Lounge or a gala at Greystone Mansion, confident your appearance aligns with how you feel inside. The Holiday Neck Lift™ specifically delivers:
Subtle Upgrade or Major Overhaul
This procedure is ideal if you’re beginning to notice signs of aging around your neck or dealing with a double chin. It’s particularly popular among younger professionals who are seeking a subtle refresh without the commitment of major surgery or lengthy recovery times. If maintaining an active lifestyle, eating well, and preserving a youthful appearance are important to you, this could be just the solution you need. However, if your neck shows more significant sagging or aging, Dr. Harris might suggest exploring a more comprehensive option.

Behind the Scenes
Performed comfortably at our accredited Beverly Hills office or surgery center, your Holiday Neck Lift™ typically takes about 3 hours. Dr. Harris uses either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort. Through discreet incisions under the chin and possibly behind the ears, he skillfully removes excess fat, tightens underlying muscles, and contours the neck area, resulting in beautifully subtle rejuvenation.
Recovery is quick, usually lasting just seven to eight days. Timing the procedure around holidays like Thanksgiving, Memorial Day weekend, or a quick summer getaway ensures minimal disruption. Post-procedure swelling and mild bruising fade rapidly, and Dr. Harris will provide clear instructions to maximize your healing. Good skincare practices and sun protection help maintain your refreshed look long-term.
