Restore Definition and Contours
with Targeted Neck Rejuvenation

As the skin loses elasticity and natural ageing takes effect, changes in the neck area can become more noticeable. Concerns like sagging skin, excess fat and weakened neck muscles may contribute to an aged or less defined profile.

When nonsurgical neck lift treatments no longer provide the desired results, neck lift surgery can offer a comprehensive solution by addressing these underlying concerns and enhancing the contours of the neck and jawline.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by tightening loose skin, repositioning neck muscles and removing excess fat. Unlike nonsurgical treatments, which offer temporary improvements, neck lift surgery provides long-lasting results by directly addressing structural changes beneath the skin.

  • Temporary bruising, swelling and mild discomfort
  • Minor scarring that fades over time
  • Rare complications such as infection or nerve injury

All potential risks and side effects will be discussed in detail during your consultation, allowing you to make an informed decision about your surgery and understand the steps taken to minimise any complications.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

You may be a suitable candidate for neck lift surgery if:

  • You are in good overall health and suitable for a surgical procedure
  • You have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process
  • You are seeking a long-term solution to refine the contours of your neck

Neck Lift at The Hanson Clinic

We are experts in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. We offer our patients the safest, most advanced and effective cosmetic treatments in a comfortable, relaxed and unhurried environment.

Procedure

The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, focusing on repositioning the deeper layers of the face. In some cases, a facial fat transfer may be incorporated to restore lost volume and enhance contours. The extended deep plane facelift addresses both the face and neck for comprehensive results.

Consultation

During your consultation, Mr Richard Hanson will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your concerns and goals. This personalised approach ensures the surgical procedure is tailored to your unique needs.

Recovery

Recovery involves a period of rest and limited activity. Most patients return to normal routines within 2 to 4 weeks, though complete recovery may take several months. Any discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication and our team will provide ongoing support throughout the process.

Results

Initial improvements are noticeable once the swelling subsides, with full results developing over several months as the healing process progresses. Patients can expect smoother, tighter skin and refined facial contours.

Cost &
Payment Plans

The cost of your neck lift surgery will be determined during your consultation, based on your unique needs and the complexity of the procedure. This personalised approach ensures that the price reflects the specific surgical plan tailored to achieve your desired results.

FAQ

How does a neck lift improve the appearance of the neck?

A neck lift enhances the contours of the neck by addressing saggy skin, tightening underlying structures and improving overall definition. This helps create a smoother, more youthful neckline, particularly for those experiencing signs of ageing or skin laxity.

Yes, a neck lift is often performed alongside a face lift to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. Combining these procedures can enhance overall facial balance by addressing sagging in both the lower face and neck for a more harmonious result.

A neck lift can significantly improve the appearance of a double chin by tightening neck skin and, if necessary, removing pockets of excess fat. In some cases, additional treatments such as liposuction may be recommended to further refine the jawline.

While losing weight can help reduce excess fat in the neck area, it often results in saggy skin that does not contract fully. A neck lift can remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles to restore definition.

The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, though natural ageing will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the outcome of the cosmetic procedure, keeping the neck firm and youthful for many years.
