Necklift
What is Necklift ?
A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves visible signs of ageing in the neck and jawline. It targets sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and muscle banding, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour.If sagging skin or a double chin affects your confidence, a neck lift can transform your appearance and boost your self-esteem. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and discover how you can achieve a youthful, elegant neckline.
Why Choose Neck Lift Surgery?
As we age, skin loses elasticity, and muscles weaken, leading to:
- Loose, sagging skin under the chin and neck
- “Turkey neck” or visible muscle bands
- Excess fat accumulation under the chin
- Poor jawline definition
While non-surgical treatments may offer mild improvement, a neck lift provides dramatic and long-lasting results, restoring confidence and enhancing your facial profile.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
✅ Removes sagging skin and tightens the neck area
✅ Defines the jawline and chin contour
✅ Eliminates fat deposits causing double chin appearance
✅ Smoothens muscle banding for a firmer look
✅ Long-lasting and natural-looking results
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
You may be suitable for a neck lift if you:
- Have excess skin or fat under your chin and neck
- Notice muscle banding or a “turkey neck” appearance
- Are healthy with no medical conditions that impair healing
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Procedure Details
During a neck lift:
- Anaesthesia is administered for your comfort (local with sedation or general anaesthesia).
- Small incisions are made behind the ears and under the chin.
- The surgeon tightens neck muscles (platysma) and removes excess fat.
- Excess skin is trimmed, and incisions are closed carefully for minimal scarring.
The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours, and patients can go home the same day or after an overnight stay, depending on individual cases.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mild swelling and bruising are common for 1-2 weeks.
- You can resume normal activities within 10-14 days, avoiding heavy exercise for a few weeks.
- Wearing a supportive chin strap as advised enhances healing and results.
- Final results become visible as swelling subsides, revealing a smoother, firmer neck.
Risks and Safety
As with any surgery, neck lifts carry minor risks such as infection, scarring, or temporary numbness. Choosing an experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures safe, satisfying outcomes.
