The procedure can help refine the shape of the neck and jawline.
May reduce the appearance of lax skin in the neck area.
Can lessen the visibility of neck creases or banding.
Aims to create a more balanced profile that aligns with your overall facial features.
Results vary between individuals. Your surgeon will discuss the potential risks, benefits, and realistic outcomes during consultation.
Your health and well-being are our top priorities. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your overall health, discuss your goals, and determine whether a neck lift is appropriate for you.
Common reasons people consider a neck lift include:
When the skin under the chin or neck has lost firmness over time.
The appearance of visible lines or muscle bands on the neck.
Localised fullness beneath the chin or around the neck area.
Seeking further refinement following earlier aesthetic treatments.
Suitability for surgery depends on individual factors such as skin quality, anatomy, and overall health. Your surgeon will discuss the potential benefits, limitations, and risks to help you make an informed decision.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, assess your medical history and anatomy, and outline whether a neck lift is a suitable option for you.
Your safety is our top priority. You’ll receive clear pre-operative instructions covering medications, recovery arrangements, and what to expect before surgery.
The neck lift is performed under appropriate anaesthesia in a sterile clinical setting. Techniques vary depending on your needs, and your surgeon will explain the steps involved and potential risks before the procedure.
Recovery times vary among individuals. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tightness, which are part of the normal healing process. Our team provides guidance on aftercare, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments to support your recovery.
Every surgical experience is unique. Your surgeon will discuss the procedure, recovery expectations, and potential risks in detail during your consultation.
Recovery experiences vary between individuals. Many people are able to resume light daily activities after about 10–14 days, although swelling or tightness may persist for several weeks. Strenuous activity and exercise are generally avoided for approximately 3–4 weeks, or as advised by your surgeon.
Strategic incisions for a neck lift are placed to be inconspicuous, often behind the ears or under the chin, minimising visible scarring.
Generally, patients should refrain from heavy physical exertion for about 3-4 weeks after the procedure to ensure optimal healing.
Results from a neck lift can be maintained for many years, although the natural ageing process will continue. Individual outcomes vary, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare can help preserve your results for longer.
Your satisfaction is paramount to us. We stand by our work and are ready to address any concerns, discussing potential adjustments or additional procedures as needed.
Preparation might involve stopping certain medications, refraining from smoking and ensuring good health. We'll guide you through each step.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure and, as with all surgery, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, infection, delayed wound healing, and adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia. Scarring is unavoidable and varies between individuals. While incisions are placed to minimise visibility, scars may become thickened, widened, pigmented, or heal unpredictably. Changes in skin sensation, including numbness, tingling, tightness, or altered sensitivity of the neck, jawline, or ear area, are common and usually improve over time, though in some cases may be prolonged or permanent. Contour irregularities, asymmetry, residual skin laxity, visible scar lines, or dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcome may occur. Revision surgery may be required in some cases. Injury to underlying structures, including nerves, muscles, or salivary glands, is uncommon but possible and may result in weakness, altered movement, or functional changes, which are usually temporary but may be permanent in rare cases. Skin compromise or skin necrosis may occur, particularly in individuals with reduced blood supply, significant skin tension, or in smokers. More serious but uncommon complications can include blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), haematoma requiring surgical evacuation, or the need for further surgical intervention. Results are variable and cannot be guaranteed. Individual risk depends on factors such as age, skin quality, smoking status, medical history, surgical technique, and healing response. These risks, along with alternatives, limitations, and expected recovery, will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
The cost varies based on individual requirements and the specifics of the surgery. We'll provide a clear cost structure during our consultation.
