What Is a Neck Lift?

A sharper jawline, a firm neck profile.

Neck lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging, laxity, excess skin and an indistinct jawline in the neck area. The aim is to create a sharper jawline and a younger, firmer neck profile.

What does it correct?

  • Sagging and laxity of the neck skin
  • The "turkey neck" appearance (platysmal bands)
  • Fat accumulation under the chin (double chin)
  • Loss of the chin-neck angle
  • An aged appearance in profile

How is the surgery performed?

  • A small incision under the chin
  • Concealed incisions extending behind the ear
  • Tightening of the neck muscles (platysma)
  • Removal of excess fat tissue (may be combined with liposuction)
  • Removal of excess skin

Who is it suitable for?

  • Those with sagging in the neck area
  • Those whose double chin has become pronounced
  • People whose jawline has become indistinct
  • People whose neck looks aged even though their face looks young

Recovery process

  • Discharge is usually possible the same day or after 1 night of hospital observation.
  • Swelling, tightness and bruising may occur in the first days.
  • Return to daily life may be possible within 1 week.
  • Most of the swelling subsides within 2-3 weeks.
  • The final result settles within a few months.

Platysma tightening

The platysmal bands that create the "turkey neck" appearance are corrected by tightening the neck muscles.

Double chin correction

The excess fat tissue accumulated under the chin is removed; where necessary it can be combined with liposuction.

— 04

Concealed incision placement

A small incision under the chin and concealed incisions extending behind the ear are used.

Combination with a facelift

The deep plane facelift is frequently combined with a neck lift; the face and neck are rejuvenated together.
