What is neck lift surgery?
A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure focused on enhancing the appearance of the neck and jawline. This procedure targets age-related issues in the neck area, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess neck fullness causing a double chin appearance.
By addressing these concerns, a neck lift aims to create a more youthful and well-defined neck contour.
Benefits of neck lift surgery
The benefits of neck lift surgery are multifaceted and can have a positive impact on both appearance and self-confidence. Some key benefits include:
- Improved Neck Contour: Neck lift surgery can effectively remove excess skin and fat, providing a smoother and more youthful neck profile.
- Enhanced Facial Harmony: A well-defined neck complements the overall facial appearance, contributing to a balanced and harmonious look.
- Reversal of Ageing Signs: Wrinkles, sagging skin, neck bands and a double chin are common signs of ageing in the neck. A neck lift can effectively address these issues, helping with double chin removal and making you appear more youthful.
- Boosted Confidence: Many individuals experience increased self-esteem and confidence after a neck lift, as it can significantly improve one’s appearance.
- Natural-Looking Results: Skilled plastic surgeons strive for natural-looking outcomes, ensuring that the neck does not appear overly tightened or artificial.
- Long-Lasting Effects: While not permanent, the results of a neck lift are typically long-lasting, providing years of improved neck aesthetics.
- Customised Treatment: Neck lift procedures can be tailored to meet your specific goals, addressing the unique concerns you may have about your neck’s appearance.
- Complementary to Other Procedures: A neck lift can be performed alongside other facial surgeries, such as a facelift or chin augmentation, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- Restored Youthfulness: By removing sagging skin and excess fat, a neck lift can help you look as young as you feel, restoring a sense of youthfulness to your appearance.
- Enhanced Overall Well-Being: Many patients report not only a physical transformation but also an emotional one, feeling more content and satisfied with their appearance after a successful neck lift procedure.
Risks of neck lift surgery
While neck lift surgery is generally safe, it’s essential to be aware of potential risks and complications, which can include:
- Swelling and Bruising: Temporary swelling and bruising are common but subside over time.
- Infection: Although rare, can usually be managed with antibiotics.
- Scarring: Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimise visible scarring.
- Numbness: Some patients may experience temporary numbness, which usually resolves.

How is the neck lift procedure performed?
Pre-Surgery
Before your neck lift surgery, you’ll undergo a comprehensive preoperative process. This begins with a detailed consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon, where your goals and expectations are discussed in depth.
A physical examination is conducted to assess the current condition of your neck and identify specific areas of concern. Our surgeon will provide you with a clear and thorough explanation of the entire neck lift procedure, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
Surgery
During the surgery itself, our surgeon works diligently to achieve your desired results. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and if necessary, neck muscles are tightened to create a smoother and more youthful neck contour.
The surgical process is marked by precision and expertise, with a focus on minimising scarring to ensure that the results appear natural and harmonious with your overall facial aesthetics. Our surgeons’ attention to detail is paramount in delivering the best possible outcome.
Post-Surgery
Following your neck lift surgery, you will enter the postoperative phase, a critical part of your journey. You will receive detailed post-operative care instructions that are tailored to your specific procedure and individual needs.
These instructions cover important aspects such as wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions. Adhering to these guidelines is essential to ensure a smooth and complication-free recovery.
Recovery
Neck recovery can vary among individuals, but most patients can expect to resume regular activities within a few weeks. Initially, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, which are typical and can be managed with prescribed medications.
It’s crucial to follow our surgeon’s guidance during this phase, attending follow-up appointments and gradually easing back into your daily routines. Over time, you will notice a significant improvement in your neck’s appearance, with results that enhance your overall facial harmony and boost your confidence.

FAQs
We have also included some of our most frequently asked questions to help give you as much information as possible, to make the most informed decision.
What's the difference between a traditional neck lift, a mini neck lift and a full neck lift procedure?
A traditional neck lift is comprehensive, with extensive incisions for significant ageing in the neck and lower face. Mini neck lifts have smaller incisions, targeting mild to moderate ageing. A full neck lift addresses moderate ageing with incisions shorter than a traditional lift. The best choice depends on ageing severity and desired results, with a plastic surgeon’s guidance being pivotal.
What is the best age for a neck lift?
The ideal age for a neck lift can vary from person to person. Generally, individuals considering a neck lift are often in their 40s to 60s, as this is when signs of ageing on the neck tend to become more pronounced.
Are neck lift results permanent?
While a neck lift can provide long-lasting results, it’s essential to understand that the ageing process continues over time. While the effects of the procedure can be significant and enduring, they won’t stop the natural ageing process entirely. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and skincare can influence how long the results last. Nonetheless, many individuals have enjoyed the benefits of a neck lift for many years.
What is a short scar neck lift?
Short scar neck lifts are often referred to as mini neck lifts. A less invasive cosmetic procedure that targets mild to moderate signs of ageing in the neck. It uses smaller incisions, typically located around the ear, resulting in reduced scarring and quicker recovery compared to traditional neck lifts.
Is this a painful procedure?
A neck lift is performed under anaesthesia to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort and tightness in the days following surgery, but pain is generally well-managed with prescribed medication. Any discomfort typically subsides as you progress through the recovery process.
Is a neck lift a safe procedure?
When performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon, a neck lift is generally considered a safe and low-risk procedure. As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, but these are rare and can be minimised through proper surgical techniques and post-operative care.
Does neck surgery remove excess fat, excess skin, and loose skin around the neck?
Yes, neck lift surgery is specifically designed to remove unwanted neck fat and tighten loose skin around the neck. One of the primary goals of a neck lift procedure is to address sagging skin and create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour.
