Neck Lift
A slim neck free of sagging and fat — a precise procedure with a clear rejuvenating effect
What is a neck lift and what does it treat?
The neck is one of the fastest areas to reveal signs of ageing — sagging skin, fat under the chin (double chin), and the appearance of platysma bands. These changes do not respond to any genuinely non-surgical treatment.
A neck lift addresses these problems directly: tightening loose skin, tightening the platysma muscle, and removing accumulated fat — with a nearly hidden scar behind the ear and under the chin.

Skin tightening (Cervicoplasty)
Removing and tightening loose excess skin — treats visible skin sagging. The incision is placed behind the ears and under the chin along natural lines.
Muscle tightening (Platysmaplasty)
Tightening the platysma muscle, which appears as vertical bands under the chin with age. Tightening and securing it gives the neck a clean, defined line.
Neck liposuction
Removing the fat under the chin (double chin) through a small incision beneath the chin. For those with fat but no noticeable skin laxity.
The full combination
In most cases the surgeon combines all three for the optimal result. It is often combined with a facelift for complete harmony between the face and neck.
Who benefits most?
✅ Ideal for you if:
- Clear sagging of the neck skin that no simple procedure can hide
- Platysma bands are visible (the vertical bands under the chin)
- Fat accumulated under the chin that resists diet and exercise
- You are bothered that your face looks years younger than your neck
- You want to complete a facelift result by treating the neck as well
⚠️ Important before deciding:
- Very mild laxity may be treated with Ultherapy — the doctor assesses what suits you
- Smoking slows healing and increases scar risk — quitting a month beforehand is advised
- Significant excess weight should be improved before surgery for a longer-lasting result
Recovery timeline
Swelling and bruising are at their most intense. A special bandage is wrapped around the face and neck. Complete rest is essential.
Stitches are removed and replaced with a flexible neck splint worn at night for two additional weeks.
Most patients return to non-strenuous work after 10-14 days. Bruising remains but can be concealed with makeup.
Swelling fades gradually. The neck looks more defined and tighter every week.
A slim, defined neck. The result lasts 7-10 years depending on your lifestyle and ageing factors.
