What is Neck Lift?

Neck lift surgery is commonly performed on its own or in combination with a facelift to rejuvenate the lower face and neck. It effectively treats several aging-related concerns, including:

  • Sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”)
  • Loose or weakened neck muscles
  • Vertical neck bands (platysma bands)
  • Bulging salivary glands under the jawline
  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Double chin caused by deep (subplatysmal) fat

What Concerns Can a Neck Lift Address?

Neck lift surgery is one of the most common cosmetic facial surgical procedures done nowadays either separately or in combination with face lift in a single procedure.

 

Neck lift manages almost all of the aging signs of the neck which include:  

 

  • Sagging neck skin (turkey neck)
  • Weak neck muscles 
  • Neck bands
  • Prominent salivary glands under the lower jawline  
  • Lack of lower jaw line definition
  • Double chin caused by excess fat under the platysma muscle (subplatysmal fat)
  • Double chin with excess fat holding a loose skin

Neck Lift Techniques

A successful neck lift addresses multiple tissue layers: the skin, subcutaneous fat, and—most importantly—the platysma muscle. This muscle plays a key role in neck contour and must be corrected to achieve lasting, natural-looking results.

Key Techniques in Neck Lift Surgery:

  1. Midline Platysmaplasty
    • Best suited for treating neck bands.
    • Involves tightening the platysma muscles through a small incision under the chin to eliminate vertical bands and flatten the central neck.
  2. Deep Plane Neck Lift
    • Most effective for sagging skin and overall neck laxity.
    • Involves lifting and repositioning deeper tissue layers through incisions behind the ears.

Ancillary Procedures Often Combined with Neck Lift

In some cases, additional procedures may be required to optimize results. These include:

  • Hammock Flap Creation – For improved lower jawline definition
  • Repositioning of Prominent Submandibular Salivary Glands
  • Shaving of Prominent Digastric Muscles – To reduce bulk under the chin
  • Double Chin Liposuction – Removes superficial fat deposits
  • Tissue Augmentation / Fat Grafting – For volume restoration and contour refinement

A customized approach is essential for optimal neck rejuvenation. During your consultation, we will assess which technique—or combination of techniques—is best suited to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Recovery After Neck Lift Surgery

Recovery from a neck lift is generally smooth and well-tolerated. Most patients experience only mild to moderate discomfort, which is easily managed with prescribed pain medication.

  • It’s normal to feel some tightness, swelling, and bruising in the neck area. To aid healing, we recommend limiting activities and keeping your head elevated for the first few days.
  • Light activity can typically resume after the first week, and most patients are able to return to work within 10–14 days.
  • Absorbable sutures are commonly used, though they are often removed between days 7–10 for optimal healing.
  • Surgical drains are rarely needed, but if placed, they are usually removed within 2–3 days.
  • Exercise and more strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 3 weeks, with full recovery expected within 6–8 weeks.

As always, detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support your smooth and safe recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing visible signs of neck aging—such as:

  • Saggy neck skin (turkey neck)
  • Neck bands
  • Lack of lower jaw line definition
  • Prominent salivary gland below the jawline
  • Double chin in certain situations

The results achieved by a neck lift will usually last for around 10 years, it is important to remember that the neck lift only fixes what has already happened but it doesn’t stop the ongoing aging process.  

There isn’t a rule for deciding an exact age cutoff; however most of the patients are in the range of 40 – 70 years old. It is usually advisable to wait till the age of 40 before having a Neck lift surgery. Many other procedures are available for younger ages.

Most patients return to work within 10–14 days. Exercise can be resumed after 3 weeks, with full healing expected in about 6–8 weeks.

Absolutely. A well-performed neck lift enhances your appearance without looking overdone. The goal is to restore a youthful, refined contour while preserving your natural facial character.

The purpose of this procedure is to tighten the muscles and smooth the skin so that bands and wrinkles are addressed and eliminated. In doing so, the neck appears rejuvenated, creating an overall younger looking complexion.

Incisions are typically hidden behind the ears and under the chin, making scars well-concealed and usually minimal after healing.

While non-surgical treatments like skin tightening devices or injectables may offer mild improvement, they cannot replicate the dramatic and long-lasting results of a surgical neck lift.

Neck lift surgery is done under general anesthesia in most cases if not all of them, so no pain is being expected to be felt during the procedure. While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most patients describe the pain as mild to moderate discomfort; your prescribed pain relief medication should make the recovery an easy one.

As with any surgery, there are associated surgery risks. The most common risks with this procedure are hair loss, skin color change in certain areas becoming more pale or dark, and nerve damage. By choosing our qualified and experienced surgeon for your operation, you will significantly reduce your chance of encountering any of these problems.
