Recovery & Healing Timeline
How Neck lift Is Performed
Neck & Jawline Surgery
Neck lift
- Midline tightening of platysma bands
- Controlled removal of submental fat
- Skin redraping through hidden post-auricular incisions
- A more defined jawline and youthful neck contour
A neck lift surgically corrects age-related skin laxity, platysma banding, fat accumulation and loss of the jaw–neck angle. It is not fat removal alone — it repositions fat, muscle and skin together for a lasting contour.
Personal consultation
Detailed facial analysis, discussion of goals, and personalized surgical planning with the surgeon.
Procedure at a glance
Neck contour that treats muscle, fat and skin together
A neck lift corrects structural ageing — turkey-neck appearance, vertical banding and a blurred jawline. Liposuction removes fat only; in a patient with loose skin, fat removal alone can make sagging more obvious. In suitable cases the platysma is tightened, excess skin is removed and the jaw–neck angle is redefined.
- 01Excess fat is removed through a small submental incision
- 02Platysma muscles are tightened in the midline
- 03Skin is redraped through hidden incisions behind the ear
