See yourself in the mirror again.

Neck Lift v2 02

It’s Not About Looking Different—It’s About Feeling Like Yourself Again

Maybe it’s the softening of your jawline. The extra skin under your chin that didn’t used to be there. Or the feeling that what you see in the mirror doesn’t reflect how vibrant and energized you still feel inside. You’re not alone. And you’re not asking for too much.

A neck lift isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about feeling more like yourself again. At Dr. John Reilly’s practice in Trumbull, CT, you’ll have a chance to talk it through with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will listen, guide, and offer thoughtful, honest advice. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation about what makes sense for you.

Whether you’re looking to restore what time has taken or explore something you’ve quietly thought about for years, this is your space to do it with clarity and support.

How a Neck Lift Can Make a Subtle Difference

From addressing sagging skin and muscle laxity to restoring youthful definition, Dr. Reilly is known for neck lifts that achieve youthful, balanced results. Each transformation is unique, just like the person behind it.

Improve Your Jawline Definition

Excess skin and relaxed muscles under the chin can blur the line between face and neck. A neck lift redefines the area with clean, natural-looking results. The improved contour not only enhances profile views but restores confidence in how you present yourself each day.

Enhanced Facial Harmony

When your neck and jawline feel aligned with the rest of your features, the entire face looks more refreshed and balanced — without looking “done.” It’s a small adjustment with a noticeable impact that brings your natural structure back into focus.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of your neck lift can last for many years. Patients often report looking better rested, more alert, and more like themselves. Best of all, the outcome ages naturally with you.

How Dr. John Reilly Approaches Neck Lifts Differently

No two patients come in with the same goals, and that’s exactly how Dr. Reilly approaches his work. He listens closely, takes the time to understand your priorities, and gives you the kind of honest input that can only come with 20+ years of hands-on surgical experience.

A Patient-First Approach Rooted in Care and Transparency

Every neck lift starts with a conversation. Dr. Reilly will walk you through what’s possible and what makes sense for your face. If surgery isn’t the right step right now, he’ll say so. His only goal is a great outcome that aligns with your needs, not a hard sell.

Low-Pressure Consultations Designed Around Your Needs

You’ll never be rushed. You’ll never be handed off. Your consultation is one-on-one with Dr. Reilly, designed to answer your questions, talk through your goals, and explore your options in a calm, thoughtful setting. Take the time you need — whether that’s one visit or several.

Thoughtful, Natural-Looking Transformations

Dr. Reilly’s results are subtle and refined. He works with the natural structure of your face to create a result that feels fresh, but never overdone. You’ll still look like you, just more rested, more defined, more you.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate for a Neck Lift in Trumbull?

You might be a good candidate if you’re noticing sagging skin, banding, or excess fullness under the chin or along the jawline. These changes often come with age, weight loss, or genetics. Good overall health and realistic expectations are key.

If you’re unsure whether now is the right time, Dr. Reilly can help you explore whether this procedure makes sense for your goals and lifestyle. Even if it’s not the right time, you’ll leave with clarity and a better understanding of your options.

Preparing For Your Neck Lift Consultation with Dr. John Reilly

Your neck lift consultation is designed to be low-pressure and informative. Dr. Reilly will talk with you directly and cover the key elements of planning:

Skin Laxity

How much loose skin is present and what approach will give the most natural result.

Muscle Banding

Whether the underlying neck muscles need to be tightened or repositioned.

Fat Distribution

If excess fat under the chin or along the neck should be removed or repositioned.

Incision Placement

Options for minimal, well-hidden incisions depending on your anatomy and goals.

There are no sales tactics here. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s possible, what to consider, and whether a neck lift is the right next step for you. If you need time to think it over or decide it’s not for you, that’s completely okay too.

Generally, patients should be in good overall health, not smoke, and have realistic expectations. If you’re unsure, Dr. Reilly will talk through your medical history and goals and let you know honestly if it’s a good match for you — or not.
