What is a neck lift procedure?
This procedure is designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the neck and jawline. It targets sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area. During the surgery, Jonathan will make small incisions behind the ears and under the chin to access and tighten underlying muscles, remove excess fat, and reframe the skin. The result is a smoother, more youthful-looking neck contour.

Can anyone have a neck lift?
Neck lift surgery is ideal for individuals struggling with sagging skin or excess fat in the neck area. If you’re bothered a double chin or loss of the angle between the jaw and neck, and non-invasive treatments haven’t yielded satisfactory results, a neck lift is likely to be the best option.
-
What happens at the first appointment for a surgical neck lift procedure?
During your first appointment, Jonathan will examine your neck area, discuss your goals, and review your medical history. He’ll explain the procedure in detail, including potential risks and expected outcomes. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions with a view to gaining a clear understanding of the procedure, in order to make an informed decision about moving forward.
-
Are neck lift procedures painful?
A surgical neck lift can involve mild to moderate discomfort, but it’s pain that should be easy to manage. During the procedure, you’ll be under anaesthesia and won’t feel pain. Post-surgery, you may experience some soreness, tightness, and bruising for 1-2 weeks. Jonathan will prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable.
-
How long does a surgical neck lift procedure take?
A neck lift usually takes 2 hours to complete. It is usually accompanied by a facelift which increases the time.
-
What results can I expect from a surgical neck lift procedure?
You can expect a significant reduction in sagging skin and a noticeable improvement in neck contours. The procedure often results in a more defined jawline, improved neck contour as well as a diminished appearance of neck bands.
-
Are there any risks associated with a surgical neck lift procedure?
Jonathan will run through all the risks with you, as well as how he’ll do his best to mitigate them, when you have your consultation with him.
Neck Lift
Face Aesthetic
A surgical neck lift expertly targets and removes excess fat deposits, sculpting a more defined jawline and neck contour. By tightening loose skin and underlying muscles, a neck lift can dramatically improve the angle between the jawline and the neck.
What happens during a neck lift procedure?
During your neck lift operation, Jonathan will focus on improving the contours, tightening the platysma muscle and removing excess skin. This muscle, which extends from the chest to the jaw, often loosens with age, causing sagging and banding. By carefully manipulating the muscle and removing excess skin, he can create a more defined and youthful neck profile for you. The procedure will involve small incisions behind the ears and commonly under the chin, allowing for precise adjustments while minimising visible scarring.

2. Your Treatment
Jonathan will make incisions to separate the skin from underlying tissues. Excess fat is removed and the platysma muscle is tightened. Loose skin is then redraped and the excess trimmed away. Finally, the incisions are closed.

3. Aftercare
Jonathan will recommend you keep the area dry for 48 hours and at that point it can be wet in the shower. It is important to avoid heavy lifting or exercise for at least one week as it may lead to bleeding or delayed wound healing, and a poorer outcome.
Moisturising and massaging are the mainstay of post-operative scar management, while laser and micro-needling can speed up the scar maturation process. It is also crucial to protect the treated area from sun exposure. In case of any signs of infection it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
