Neck lift surgery is usually not permanent. Although the procedure can improve neck skin laxity and wrinkles, the natural aging process, gravity, and personal lifestyle factors can still lead to the recurrence of loose skin and wrinkles on the neck over time.

The longevity of the results from a neck lift depends on multiple factors, including surgical techniques, individual physiological conditions, post-operative care, and personal lifestyle habits. Advanced surgical techniques, favorable individual physiological conditions, proper post-operative care, and healthy lifestyle habits can all help prolong the effects of a neck lift, making the results more long-lasting. After surgery, patients should perform appropriate skincare, maintain a balanced diet, and consume more collagen-rich foods to enhance skin elasticity. Additionally, they should avoid prolonged sun exposure and reduce UV damage to the skin.

Therefore, although neck lift surgery can significantly improve neck skin laxity and wrinkles, the effects are not permanent. To maintain the surgical results, patients should comprehensively consider various factors such as surgical techniques, individual physiological conditions, post-operative care, and lifestyle habits, and undergo regular skincare and treatments to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes.
