Neck Lift surgery treatments can help to reshape the skin around the neck and jaw, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and other visible signs of ageing. At the Cadogan Clinic, our specialist surgeons offer a full range of treatments, including several they have pioneered themselves.
Typical neck lift procedures include removing loose skin or ‘turkey wattle’, liposuction to remove fat, fat transfer to modify shape and volume of the neck, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, reshaping the neck area following weight loss and restoration of skin elasticity-loss caused by ageing, sun damage or genetics. We also offer a platysmaplasty to tighten the underlying muscles of the neck.
Various combinations of these procedures are available as part of our bespoke Cadogan Swan Neck Lift service, which is available in combination with a facelift treatment.
During your initial consultation, your surgeon will give you pre-operative advice which may include stopping smoking or taking aspirin or any other medication prior to your surgery to ensure optimum healing.
Recovery time for this procedure will depend on the individual patient but we usually advise that you take one or two weeks off work following surgery as there will be bruising and swelling which may take around 10 days to subside.
This procedure usually requires an overnight stay in a nearby hotel that the clinic has good links with, as your surgeon will want to see you the next day. Your surgeon will recommend that you avoid exercise and any heavy lifting for a few weeks following your neck surgery.
The Neck Lift involves the removal of excess facial skin from the neck, chin and cheek areas, usually under general anaesthetic. You will have dressings on your neck and perhaps drains in place when you wake from surgery and pain relief can be provided if required. Depending on the kind of neck surgery you have had, you may be required to stay overnight in a hospital or nearby hotel with a nurse as your surgeon may want to see you the following day and any drains removed.
Neck tightening surgery is not an especially painful procedure though you may experience discomfort due to the tight feeling of the skin. Pain relief can be provided by your surgeon if required.
Prices for a neck lift start from £4200, however every individual is different and an accurate price will be determined, depending on your individual needs, upon consultation with your surgeon.
A'Turkey Neck' or 'wattle' refers to the loose skin hanging down under the chin which occurs due to weight loss or ageing. This happens as when we become older, our skin loses its elasticity causing it to sag. Neck lift surgery or platysmaplasty at Cadogan Cosmetics is a way of reducing and tightening this loose neck skin for a more youthful and refreshed look.
Recovery time for this procedure will depend on the individual patient but 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. Depending on the case, this procedure may require an overnight stay in a nearby hotel that the clinic has good links with, as your surgeon will want to see you the next day. In the next few weeks as you heal, smoother skin on the neck will be revealed and any minimal, discreet incision scars will fade.
Neck lift surgery is carried out regularly as Cadogan Cosmetics, and any risks are the same as with any other surgical procedure that involves a general anaesthetic if this is the option you are having. There are no specific risks to be concerned about, but your surgeon will explain the neck surgery procedure to you in detail.
A neck lift (sometimes known as a platysmaplasty) is a surgical procedure which is usually carried out under general anaesthetic to remove any loose skin along the jaw and neck for a smoother, tighter and more youthful appearance.
This procedure is effective alone but is often combined with a face lift for significant results. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in your initial consultation and recommend what is best for your individual case.
We offer a free, no-obligation 30-60 minute consultation with one of our Patient Advisors. They will work with you to understand your objectives and the results you want to achieve, talk you through the procedure and answer any questions you may have. If you decide that you would like to proceed to the next step and see a surgeon, your Patient Advisor will be happy to arrange this for you. At this point, you will be required to pay a consultation fee.
Once you’ve booked your consultation, the next step will be for you to meet your chosen surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic. Your surgeon will use this time to make a comprehensive medical assessment of you, your condition, and your expectations before making a recommendation and personalised treatment plan for you. You will then discuss the outcomes you can expect to see and ask any questions
On the day of your procedure you will be welcomed at the Cadogan Clinic by your Patient Advisor and dedicated nursing staff. Following a brief medical check, you will meet with both your surgeon and anaesthetist to run through the details of your procedure one final time and answer any last questions you may have.
After the procedure, you will recover in the capable hands of our aftercare team. As we are a day-case facility you can expect your recovery to be complete within 2 to 3 hours. If your surgeon is happy with your results, you will be able to be discharged from the clinic the very same day. In some cases patients may wish to stay locally in our exclusive partner hotel the day before or after your procedure in order to be close to their surgeon. Talk to us about these options if this is for you.
Our care and support continues in the days and weeks following your procedure with our complimentary aftercare programme. This comprised of a series of appointments made with your surgeon and nursing team to monitor your progress and recovery. They will also introduce you to several scar minimization techniques and bespoke products to aid your progress. Our team are also on call to answer any questions you have around your surgery at any time you are concerned.
