What is Neck Lift?

The skin on the neck is delicate and needs plenty of care and attention. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, causing it to wrinkle and sag, with the neck often the very first part of the body to show signs of aging. If you neglect to take care of this delicate area, this will just exacerbate the problem.

Luckily there is one treatment which is perfect for turning back the clock on an aging neck.

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure which improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck by removing fat and tightening the skin in this area.

Neck lift surgery is an excellent option if you are looking to hide some of the very first tell tale signs of aging in the jawline and neck, such as sagging or loose skin, folds and wrinkles.

The standard neck lift is similar to a face lift, in that the skin and underlying muscle is pulled upwards and back and the excess skin is removed. The result is a smoother, more defined and contoured neck. 

Neck tightening is a great way of getting rid of jowls as it is the excess skin and fat in the lower face which causes these unwelcome facial features.

Neck lift surgery can often be combined with a face lift, to achieve a more enhanced result. It is also common for patients to opt for liposuction at the same time as their neck lift. Excess fatty deposits underneath the chin can lead to the appearance of a double chin. Lipo can quickly and efficiently remove this unwanted fat. A chin tuck is a popular addition when undergoing a neck lift procedure.

Why do people have it?

Why do people have it & Who is suittable

As we age, we naturally begin to lose the youthful contours of our face and neck. This process can be accelerated by factors such as genetics, gravity, stress and even environmental conditions that may affect the skin on the face and neck.

Stretched or sagging neck skin is unlikely to shrink back naturally and typically cannot be tightened with diet and exercise. This is a common misconception, and surgical intervention may be the only way to deliver your desired results.

You might consider a Neck lift if you want:

  • A more defined, contoured neck profile
  • A firmer, more toned neck 
  • To remove sagging neck skin or ‘turkey neck’
  • To reduce jowls or double chin
  • Target stubborn areas of unwanted neck fat 
  • To restore balance between the age of your face and neck
  • To improve the overall appearance of the face and neck

The overall effect is to deliver a more sculpted, aesthetically pleasing and youthful neck, firmer to the touch and with tightened, smooth overlying skin.

The benefits of a Neck lift are both cosmetic and psychological, and include:

  • Improved appearance of the skin of your neck 
  • Smoother, more youthful-looking neck
  • Tightened loose skin around the neck 
  • More defined neck profile and jawline
  • Reduced lines and wrinkles in your neck
  • Improved sense of emotional wellbeing

Who is suitable?

Cadogan Clinic considers individuals fit for the procedure, if all of the following are true of them:

  • In good psychological and physical medical health
  • At your ideal body weight
  • You have a positive outlook and realistic expectations of what can be achieved via surgery
  • You are seeking to remove excess skin in your neck area
  • You are seeking to remove excess fat deposits in your neck area
  • You are seeking to improve the shape and contours of your neck and jawline
  • You are looking for long lasting results

What does it involve?

There are two neck lift techniques to be aware of. 

A combination of both techniques above may be employed to achieve optimal results. It is also possible to remove excess fat through incisions made under the chin, via liposuction or surgical excision, during each procedure.

The Neck lift procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes between one and two hours.
The standard neck lift is a modification of the facelift, where the skin and underlying platysma muscle are pulled upwards and backwards, towards the ear, where surplus skin is removed. Contouring and undermining are often carried out by liposuction, but we very often combine this procedure with fat grafting to rejuvenate the chin and jawline.

This procedure is effective as a standalone alone treatment but, where necessary, is combined with a facelift to give dramatic results. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in your initial consultation and recommend what is best for your individual case.

This particular neck lift technique is the more straightforward of the two as it focuses on removing the excess skin only. The excess skin around the neck is lifted and removed before the remaining skin is repositioned over the neck and sutured back into its new position. This gives the neck a smoother and more youthful appearance. This method can be combined with a facelift to further rejuvenate this whole area and liposuction or surgical excision if a chin tuck is required. A cervicoplasty can also be combined with the platysmaplasty technique to achieve optimal results.

This is a more comprehensive neck lift technique which goes beneath the skin to tighten and sculpt the underlying muscle of the neck. This muscle is called platysma.  The surgeon will make an incision in the hairline, level with the sideburn, which travels around the back of the ear. Once the surgeon has tightened the muscle, the skin is pulled taut and the incisions behind the ear are closed. By adjusting the underlying muscle, not just the skin on top, this particular technique achieves more dramatic results as it can reduce the banded appearance, or folds, of the neck. 

What is a Mini Neck Lift?

A mini neck lift, also known as a one stitch neck lift, is a popular surgery choice for younger patients with less sagging skin but who still have the desire to achieve a smoother, younger-looking neck. A mini neck lift also helps to tackle the problem areas of the chin, jaw and jowls.

It is the perfect choice for a patient who is not quite ready for a full neck lift. It is a much less extensive surgery and costs less than a full neck lift.

Surgeons employ the same techniques as a full neck lift, but this treatment can be targeted at a more specific area, with minimal incisions required. Fewer incisions mean fewer scars and a much faster healing time.

This treatment is ideal for those aged in their 40s or 50s who are displaying the early signs of aging. You need to have good skin elasticity for the mini neck lift to ensure the best possible result. If you are older, or have a large amount of excess skin as a result of dramatic weight loss, you may wish to discuss alternative treatments with your consultant.

Just like every other surgery, not everyone is suitable for a mini neck lift treatment. The amount of extra fat present underneath the skin, the elasticity of the skin and the visibility of the platysma muscle all need to be taken into consideration when planning a mini neck lift treatment.

Although a mini neck lift can reset the aging process, the skin will continue to age from the point of surgery. In order to maintain the best results, it is crucial that patients take care of the delicate skin on the neck and avoid unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as smoking and excessive sun exposure. These will age the skin faster, including the delicate skin on the neck, which is particularly prone to wrinkling and sagging. 

The results of a mini neck lift are not as long lasting as the full neck lift, so a patient may wish to consider further treatment or a full neck lift in the future in order to maintain a youthful appearance.

Our expert surgeon will be able to discuss all the available surgical and non-surgical options with you at your first consultation.


Neck Lift Surgeons

We have invited a selection of the country's very best consultants to join us at the Cadogan Clinic so that you can be sure that whatever the nature of your treatment, you will be seeing one of the top practitioners in the country.


What to expect

Below you will find some key information to help you prepare for surgery and make necessary arrangements to ensure you have the support you need and that everything runs smoothly on the day.

The first step for all of our Neck lift patients is to meet with the surgeon we feel is best placed to perform your procedure for a consultation. At the consultation, you will be able to discuss with your surgeon what your hope to achieve from the procedure, as well as discuss in detail what may or may not be possible given your existing anatomy.

Your surgeon will take you through the options available to you, and which is the most preferential for you given your stated ambitions. Having established this, several key measurements will be made and standard clinical photography will be taken.

Some questions you may want to ask your surgeon include:

  • Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
  • Can I achieve the results I am asking for?
  • What will be expected of me to get the best results?
  • Do you have before-and-after photos?
  • How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
  • What scars will I be left with?
  • Will I be in pain after the surgery?
  • How soon after my Neck lift can I return to work?
  • Finally, a comprehensive discussion regarding risks and complications will take place, alongside a discussion regarding what to expect in the post-procedure and recovery phase. Your previous medical history will also be recorded (including previous surgery, medications, allergies etc.) and an assessment of your fitness for surgery.

If your surgeon feels you are a good candidate for surgery, you are then invited to consider whether you would like to proceed for surgery or otherwise following a two-week 'cooling-off' period.

Within this period you are welcome to come in and discuss your potential surgery with your surgeon as many times as you like.

If you choose to proceed with surgery, the next time you come into the Clinic after your final consultation will be the day of your procedure. Before admission the following behavioural changes are recommended/required:

  • In the 6 weeks before your procedure, we recommend smoking is discontinued as patients who smoke have a higher risk of healing more slowly and complications (see FAQs)
  • In the week before your procedure, you must cease taking Aspirin or any medication that contains Aspirin
  • In the 6 hours prior to surgery, you must not consume food or any drink, other than small sips of clear fluid (e.g. still water, black coffee, black tea) which are allowed up to 2 hours before admission

On the day of your procedure, we ask that you arrive for your admission an hour before the agreed start time of surgery. At this point a nurse will come and record blood pressure and other relevant vitals, you will meet with your anaesthetist and your surgeon who will make the final mark-ups.

Before surgery, the surgeon will measure up your neck to assess how much fat and/or skin needs to be removed. The neck is then photographed, with the skin markings, in various positions, front and back. The procedure is carried out under our form of general anaesthesia called T.I.V.A. (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia) and takes two hours.

Your surgeon will begin by making an incision in the hairline at the level of the sideburn and will continue the incision around the back of the ear. The tissue underlying the neck skin is repositioned, and the platysma muscle is tightened. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away. A separate incision under the chin is often necessary for liposuction of this area and for the repair of the muscle. Sutures or skin adhesives close the incisions behind the ear.

The neck is then bandaged after surgery to reduce bruising and you will feel stiff and mildly uncomfortable as you bend or move your neck in the coming days. Most of the sutures used are dissolving to avoid stitch marks, but there may be a few to remove a week or so after surgery.

You should not feel much pain during the procedure, but you may have some for a few days or weeks afterwards. You'll be given painkillers if you need them.

Following the procedure, you will recover in our ambulatory recovery rooms for between two to three hours, dependent on the scale of the procedure. Once our specialist nursing team are happy that your initial recovery is complete and you are safe to return home, you will be allowed to leave the Clinic accompanied by a friend or member of your family.

Once home you will have access to our dedicated on-call nursing team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This team of specialists are dedicated to your comfort and pain control, and are there to field any questions you may have in the immediate post-operative phase.

We ask that you come in and see our nursing team 1 week after surgery to ensure your incision sites have been properly reviewed. At this juncture, we also recommend you meet with one of our on-site aestheticians to discuss ongoing treatment to support the healing and scarring process.

We ask that you come in to see your surgeon after 6 - 8 weeks for a final check-up.

The Patient Journey

Frequently Asked Questions

A Neck lift is a surgical contouring procedure designed to remove a surplus of loose neck skin and eliminate fat deposits in the neck region, and restore a more youthful, defined neck and jawline.

The choice of procedure depends on the exact condition (excess loose skin or excess skin and excess fat deposits) but will involve skin excision, or a combination of skin excision and liposuction.

The procedure is carried out as a day case procedure under General Anaesthesia and takes 2 hours.

There is typically bruising for a few weeks with end results at about 3 months. Scars are insignificant and managed by our Scar Management programme.

A mini neck lift is a less invasive variation of a regular neck lift. to tighten the skin and muscles in the lower face and neck, creating a younger and more defined jawline and neck area.  Similar to a regular neck lift, the operation is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, but it requires fewer incisions and it is a less intensive surgery.

The recovery time for a mini neck lift is often shorter than that of a traditional neck lift, and patients should anticipate returning to work and normal activities within 2-3 weeks.

A neck lift can result in a more defined, slender neck and jawline, but the procedure may not be for everyone. It's important when undergoing any type of surgical procedure that you're in good health.

If you're age 40 and above, then you may want to consider a neck lift if you're unhappy with any of the following conditions;

  • Loose or drooping skin - When the skin becomes more lax as we age, it can lead to an unflattering ‘turkey neck’.
  • Excess skin - Another side effect of the aging process, but also caused by weight loss.
  • Skin damaged by sun and the elements - This can cause wrinkles and skin damage such as actinic keratosis.
  • Excess fat on the neck obscuring the usual sharp angle between the chin and the neck
  • Double chin - Caused by aging, genetics or weight gain.
  • Jowls or hanging skin at the neckline and jawline - A common side-effect of aging.

A neck lift can also solve the problem of neck banding. This occurs when the two ridges of muscle which run vertically down the neck (known as the platysmal band) become more pronounced as we grow older. Neck banding is a common reason for undergoing a neck lift.

If you are under 40 years of age, it might be better to consider a non surgical alternative such as botox, fillers or Ultherapy.

You would also be a good candidate for a neck lift if you have recently lost a significant amount of weight. When you lose large amounts of weight, large amounts of saggy, excess skin are left behind. A neck lift will see this excess skin removed and the remaining skin pulled back to restore a defined and contoured neck profile.

The best candidates for a neck lift will have:

  • Good skin elasticity. This is important as ideally we would like the stretched skin to have enough elasticity to conform to its new position.
  • Good physical health. Generally speaking, being healthy is important before any surgery. Serious medical conditions, a high BMI and smoking can all increase the risk of complications. You should have stopped smoking at least 6 weeks before surgery.

Your results will be long lasting and you should see the difference for between 10 – 15 years.

That said, the aging process will continue from your new post-procedure point, and skin laxity will gradually increase over time. The aging process will start from a far better point however, so it should be many years before this becomes noticeable again.

You can protect encroachment on your results by avoiding excessive amounts of sun exposure and maintaining a stable weight.

The sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause huge damage to the skin. Too much exposure to the sun can accelerate the aging process, meaning more wrinkles and sagging skin. To maintain the results of your neck lift for longer, we strongly recommend you protect your neck area from the sun. 

Dramatic weight fluctuations should also be avoided as substantial weight loss will leave excess neck skin behind. You should maintain a stable, healthy, weight as much as possible.

A non-surgical treatment such as Ultherapy will help to maintain the results. Your surgeon will advise whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

You will not feel any pain during the procedure as you will be under the influence of anaesthetic.

Immediately following surgery, you may experience discomfort but any pain should be tolerable. Your surgeon can provide painkillers for this and the majority of patients no longer need them a few days after neck lift surgery.

Pain after a neck lift varies from person to person, but most patients will experience some soreness and swelling for a few days to a week following the procedure. Your surgeon will also be able to give you specific advice and instructions to help you deal with pain and discomfort, and speed up your recovery.

All surgeries do carry some risks, which may include bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, nerve injury, and allergic reactions to anaesthesia. Neck lift surgery is a straightforward, safe surgery although you should be aware of all the risks and complications before going ahead with surgery. Your surgeon will go through these at length and in full at your consultation.

A skilled surgeon can minimise neck lift surgery scars and place them expertly in locations where they are not visible to the eye. Neck lift surgery scars take some months to settle in, but your surgeon will try and confine the scarring to the neck folds.

Neck lift surgery scar visibility can also be impacted by the level of scar aftercare you receive. By way of example, neck lift surgery scars can be reduced by regular moisturisation and massage techniques, all of which our dedicated team will advise our patients in the days following your procedure.

Recovery time for this procedure will depend on the individual patient.

We usually advise that you take around two weeks off work following surgery as there will be bruising and swelling which may take around 10 days to subside. We also recommend you do not resume exercise for 4 – 6 weeks.

In the following few weeks, as you heal, smoother skin will appear on the neck and your scars will start to heal.

Our expertise in scarring techniques along with our highly-experienced surgeons ensure a great result, especially as these are usually not visible and hidden behind the ears.

You may continue to experience some mild, periodic discomfort and swelling during this time, but such feelings are normal. Severe pain, bleeding or swelling should be reported to your surgeon.

You will receive more detailed advice from your surgeon ahead of surgery.

You will need to wear a tight fitting compression head bandage for a few nights, but this can be taken off soon after. If there has been liposuction under the chin to create a sharper jawline definition, a chin strap is recommended by some surgeons at night only for a further week.

Swelling and bruising is minor in most cases and can be easily covered. It is also temporary and should last just a matter of days.

That said, your lower face and ears may appear swollen in the first few days following surgery and during this period recovering patients will typically avoid going out in public.

We also recommend scarves and high sweaters to conceal swelling, as well as styling long hair to cover up stitches.

This really is only necessary for a few days following procedure and within a week or ten days you should be back to your daily routine.

A Neck lift isn't for everyone. Your doctor might caution against a Neck lift if you:

  • Have a severe chronic condition, such as heart disease or diabetes
  • Plan to lose a significant amount of weight
  • Have a body mass index that's greater than 32
  • Are a smoker
  • Have an unstable mental health condition

For the first four weeks after your surgery, you will need to avoid all sport and strenuous exercise. During this time, we recommend going on gentle walks to keep active, which in turn will help with your recovery.

After week four, you will be able to start doing some exercise again. However, you should still avoid strenuous activity and contact sports. After six to eight weeks you should be able to resume all sports and exercise. This includes contact sports and weightlifting.

You should ask your surgeon for specific timeframes of when you will be able to return to sport and exercise.

You should be able to take a shower 48 hours after your neck lift operation.

You will need to wash the wound carefully and ensure it heals well. This may involve application of an antibiotic ointment after your shower.

It is also important that you dry your incisions having washed and bathed them. If you need to use a hairdryer to dry your hair, it must be kept on a cool setting.

You should also take care when brushing your hair around your ears and suture sites.

There are many alternative non surgical solutions for neck lift surgery, ranging from fillers and Botox to simple laser surgery under local anaesthesia and Ultherapy.

These are typically not as effective as surgical solutions, and have results that are not as long lasting.

For a full discussion on the various pros and cons, you should speak to one of our specialist plastic surgeons.

A neck lift cannot change your fundamental anatomy (e.g. the position of the Adam's apple) and cannot stop the ageing process in its tracks.

A neck lift should therefore be considered an effective restorative surgical treatment for the neck area.

As a neck lift only adjusts the skin and muscles of the neck, it will also only address the excess or sagging skin around the neck. It will not resolve the visible signs of ageing that may appear in other areas of the face, such as sagging skin and wrinkles of the forehead or cheeks.

You may need to consider the following surgical procedures if you want to target these other areas of your face:

  • Facelift– this will smooth and tighten the skin of the lower half of your face 
  • Brow lift – this can reduce forehead wrinkles by lifting the brows 
  • Blepharoplasty– this can correct sagging of the eyelids and eye bags 

It is possible to perform a neck lift under local anaesthesia.

That said, it requires large amounts of local anaesthetic to ensure you do not feel anything during the procedure, and you will be awake during the procedure. This means you will feel pulling and tagging, and this can be disconcerting for some patients. You will also need to stay completely still for anything up to 3 hours on the theatre table.

It is also possible to have the treatment under Sedation, whereby painkillers and sedatives are administered via an IV drip. Anaesthetic options will be discussed at your consultation.

Even though the visibility of bruising, stitches and dressings is carefully minimised, some people will be more sensitive about these side effects than others.

You may choose to take some extra downtime in order to heal and allow the swelling to reduce before returning to work or regular social activities if you don't want other people to see the stiches and bruises. The main bandage is removed within 48 hours. Bandages are reasonably well hidden around the ears or under the chin. You can leave them open or cover with tape.

Bruising from liposuction is surprisingly slight in this area, and normal activities can be resumed within a day or two. Men do occasionally have a little more, bruising because of the increased blood supply to the beard. Following your surgeon's instructions on how to care for the bruising and swelling will be the best way to ensure a speedy recovery with less downtime.

If you have had a general anaesthetic, then you will need to have a sensible person with you overnight to help take care of you, as you may continue to feel groggy and sleepy, or disoriented.

A little help with some physical activities around the home would be useful for a few days in order for you to rest, relax and recover. Try not to have your head down and maybe sleep with an extra pillow.

Any liposuction incisions may or may not be sutured, but other stitches are generally removed a week or so after surgery.

Ultherapy rejuvenates sun damaged skin and tightens it. It can, therefore, be very useful for the early treatment of these problems, when they first arise, pushing back the time that a proper surgery will be needed. With luck, you may avoid surgery altogether.

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift up and tighten loose skin over a period of several sessions, with minimal downtime for yourself. This non-invasive procedure uses ultrasound to stimulate the growth and formation of new collagen deep inside the skins layers. New collagen takes time to produce, so the results are not seen immediately, but will become more apparent over 2-3 months' time. The procedure itself is short, taking between 30-90 minutes per session depending on which area you're having treated.

Another use for Ultherapy is as a secondary treatment after a face or neck lift to improve the skin quality of the final lift. If you are considering Ultherapy, consider whether a face or neck lift is more appropriate and vice versa.

We favour treatments that cause minimal disturbance to the patient, and consequently recommend Ultherapy as a viable alternative in cases where we think it can have a comparable impact to surgery.

If you are interested in hearing more about your options, speak to one of our plastic surgeons who can help talk you through the various pros and cons of each treatment.

Each patient's recovery time for a neck lift is different, but normally patients can anticipate returning to work and normal activities in two to three weeks. However, complete recovery can take several months.

Swelling and bruising are common during the healing process and can last for several weeks. For a few weeks after the procedure, refrain from engaging in any vigorous activities to give the incision site time to heal completely.

It's essential to carefully follow your surgeon's post-operative advice if you want to speed up your recovery. To speed up the process, you can use cold compresses to reduce swelling and elevate your head and shoulders when lying down. Smoking should also be avoided because it can hinder the healing process. We suggest you eat a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water because doing so can aid in promoting healing and reducing swelling.

A neck lift operation may not address extra skin or fat that contributes to a double chin, but it is intended to address sagging skin and muscle in the lower face and neck. This is because a neck lift addresses the underlying muscle and skin, whereas excess fat may need to be removed by a different operation like liposuction. Your surgeon will be able to give you advice on how to proceed in order to get the results you desire.

By removing extra skin and tightening the underlying muscles, a neck lift can help make the jawline look a lot better. This can result in a more defined and youthful-looking jawline. However, further procedures, such as liposuction or face fillers, may be required to get the desired results if the problem is predominantly brought on by too much fat or a lack of definition in the jawline.

Following a thorough examination and assessment, your surgeon will be able to provide you with advice on the best course of action to accomplish your desired outcome. It's important to have reasonable and realistic expectations and recognise that different procedures might be required to produce the desired results. A neck lift is not a one-size-fits-all surgery.

What are the risks?

Neck lift surgery is a safe procedure, but it is common to experience:

  • Bruising and swelling
  • Temporary numbness
  • A small amount of scarring 

As with all surgical procedures, Neck lift surgery carries some risk and it is possible that you might experience:

  • Nausea 
  • Bleeding or Infection 
  • Poor healing of incisions and scarring
  • Seroma 
  • A collection of blood underneath the skin (haematoma)
  • Death of fat tissue (fat necrosis) or embolism

Your surgeon will discuss these risks comprehensively at your consultation and explain how likely these risks and complications are, and how they would be treated.
