A defined jawline can transform your appearance. Moms often notice fullness or sagging as the years go by, especially through hormonal changes or shifts in weight. An Awake Neck Lift refines your profile safely and comfortably.
Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, most Moms don’t have the bandwidth for a long, groggy recovery. That’s exactly why this procedure exists — it’s built for real life, not just the operating room.
An Awake Neck Lift is performed using local anesthesia with light oral sedation instead of general anesthesia. You stay comfortable and relaxed throughout, but you skip the grogginess, nausea, and extended downtime that often come with going under completely. The procedure tightens loose or lax neck skin and muscle, sharpening the jawline and removing that “double chin” fullness that so many Moms feel self-conscious about.
Time, hormonal shifts, and the natural pull of gravity can all soften the neck and jawline — even in Moms who are otherwise fit and healthy. It’s not about vanity. It’s about looking in the mirror and recognizing yourself again.
Benefits
Consultation: Dr. Millicent Geers will evaluate your neck and jawline, skin quality, and goals to determine if you’re a good candidate.
The Procedure: Performed comfortably under local anesthesia with sedation in an outpatient setting. No breathing tube, no waking up in a recovery bay disoriented — you’re alert enough to go home the same day.
Recovery: Swelling and mild bruising are normal for the first week or two. Most Moms feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities within a few days, with more noticeable results emerging over the following weeks as swelling resolves.
Good candidates typically have mild to moderate neck laxity or fullness, are in good overall health, and are looking for a natural-looking refinement rather than a dramatic overhaul. During your consultation, Dr. Geers will talk honestly about whether this is the right fit for your anatomy and your goals — no pressure, no upselling.
If your concerns extend beyond the neck into the midface or jawline, ask about combining procedures during your consultation.
