Neck Lift
The neck is often one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing. Over time, skin may lose elasticity, muscle tone can weaken, and fat may accumulate under the chin.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and redefine the neck and jawline.
It can restore smoother contours and create a more youthful, balanced profile.
People seek neck lift surgery to reduce visible bands, tighten loose skin, or achieve a sharper jawline.
For many, it is not about looking different but about looking fresher and feeling more confident.
What's Involved in neck lift surgery?
Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic and may be a day procedure or involve an overnight stay, depending on your needs.
Choosing a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon trained in aesthetics will tailor the surgical approach with the aim of restoring a smooth, firm neck contour without creating tension or a stretched appearance.
Your surgeon will guide you through every step, from your first consultation to final follow-up, helping you feel well-informed, comfortable, and confident in your decision. With the right planning and technique, a neck lift can offer a refreshed, natural appearance that enhances your features without changing who you are.
The Procedure
The procedure may include tightening of the platysma muscle, removal of excess skin, and gentle liposuction to reduce fat beneath the chin.
Incisions are usually made behind the ears and sometimes beneath the chin - all placed discreetly to minimise visibility.
In many cases, a neck lift is combined with a face lift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation, but it can also be performed on its own if the concerns are limited to the lower face and neck.
