Do you see the signs of ageing in your neck and jawline? Loose skin, a “turkey neck,” or excess fat deposits can detract from your overall appearance and leave you feeling self-conscious. Neck lift surgery, also known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure carried out by an experienced surgeon that can address these concerns and restore a smoother, more defined, and youthful profile.
What is Neck Lift Surgery?
Neck lift surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to improve the visible signs of ageing in the lower face and neck, as skin loses elasticity and fitness as we age. It targets:
- Excess skin that creates loose folds or wrinkles.
- Bands of the platysma muscle (neck muscle) that become lax and contribute to sagging.
- Pockets of fat that accumulate beneath the chin and jawline.
Types of Neck Lift Procedures
There are two main types neck lifts your surgeon can perform, each tailored to address specific concerns:
Traditional Neck Lifts
This is the most comprehensive option which is used to treat signs of ageing in the whole neck area. This includes addressing loose skin, platysma tightening, and fat removal. Small incisions are typically made around the ears and under the chin, with minimal scarring.
Limited Neck Lifts
This targets the lower neck and jawline, ideal for addressing minimal sagging or excess fat. Incisions are often shorter and hidden around the ears.
Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery
Improved Definition
You can remove excess fat, creating a more sculpted jawline and a smoother neck contour to reduce signs of ageing.
Reduced Wrinkles and Creases
By tightening underlying neck muscles and removing excess skin, the procedure eliminates visible signs of ageing.
Enhanced Confidence
Feeling good about your more youthful appearance and slimmer profile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence.
Long-lasting Results
With proper care, neck lift results can last for many years.
Am I a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?
Neck lift surgery is a suitable option for individuals who:
- Are in good overall health.
- Can tolerate general anaesthesia.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome.
- Experience significant sagging skin, drooping skin, or excess fat in the neck area, chin, and jawline.
- Do not smoke or will stop smoking (smoking can impede healing).
- Are not on blood thinning medications.

FAQs
What are the risks associated with neck lift surgery?
As with any surgery, neck lift surgery carries certain risks, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation. These may include infection, bleeding, temporary numbness, and scarring. However, our team’s extensive experience and meticulous technique help minimise these complications and risks.
What is the recovery time for neck lift surgery?
Most patients experience significant improvement within a few weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising will subside gradually over several weeks, and you can expect to return to most daily activities within 2-3 weeks. It’s important to follow all post-operative care instructions like avoiding strenuous activity and keeping the site clean. However, optimal results, where the full definition and smoothness become evident in the neck area, typically take 3-6 months as healing progresses.
Can neck lifts be combined with other procedures, cosmetic surgeries or treatments?
Yes, neck lifts can often be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This can be beneficial for achieving a more balanced and natural-looking appearance. Common combination procedures include a full facelift, brow lift surgery, eyelid surgery, and fat grafting or liposuction.
What can I do to maintain my results after neck lift surgery?
Following your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative neck care is crucial. Patients must maintain a clean and protected healing area, wearing a compression garment as directed, and attending follow-up appointments. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper sun protection can contribute to long-lasting results and a more youthful appearance.
Are there non-surgical alternatives to neck lift surgery?
For individuals with mild signs of ageing in the neck and jawline, non-surgical options like dermal fillers or Botox injections may be suitable. During your free consultation, we will discuss all available options and recommend the most appropriate approach for your individual needs.
How much does neck lift surgery cost?
The cost of neck lift surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, anaesthesia fees, and facility charges. While you can use our finance calculator for a general idea of the cost, during your consultation we will provide a personalised neck procedure cost estimate after discussing your specific needs and treatment plan. We offer financing options to make this procedure more accessible.
