Neck Lift
A neck lift addresses sagging and wrinkled skin on the neck and jawline. This enhancement helps restore a more defined contour to the neck area.
Benefits
Why a Neck Lift?
-
Tightens loose skin and muscles, sculpting a more defined and youthful jawline.
-
Targets and minimises prominent neck platysma bands for a smoother neck appearance.
-
Removes excess skin and fat to address the appearance of a "turkey neck" and create a tauter, firmer neck profile.
-
Lifts and repositions tissues for pleasing neck and lower face contour.
Introduction
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift or lower rhytidectomy targets signs of ageing, excess skin, and muscle laxity, enhancing the overall appearance of the neck area.
The 5-Step Procedure for a Neck Lift:
-
Our surgeon makes an incision behind the ears and sometimes under the chin to access the underlying structures.
-
Muscle and Tissue Adjustment to tighten loose muscles and reposition or remove excess tissues to improve neck contour.
-
Fat Removal or Liposuction to remove excess fat deposits contributing to a less defined neckline.
-
Skin Redraping of remaining skin over the newly contoured neck.
-
Incision Closure using sutures, skin adhesives, or other techniques to minimise scarring.
Available Procedures
Non-Surgical Neck Lift Options
The following are non-invasive neck lift alternative enhancements to consider based on individual concerns and goals.
-
Botox Neck Lift Injections to address neck bands or vertical lines, resulting in a smoother appearance.
-
Injectable fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based products, enhance the contour of the jawline and reduce the appearance of sagging skin.
-
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, providing a subtle lift to the neck and jawline.
-
Radiofrequency-based treatments tighten and firm the skin on the neck by stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production for a more lifted and youthful look.
Recovery
What to Expect During Neck Lift Recovery
The initial neck lift recovery time spans the first seven days and is marked by swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Patients are advised to rest with their heads elevated, limiting strenuous activities.
As two to six weeks progress, swelling and bruising diminish. Patients may resume activities and use facelift bands for support, although specific instructions may vary. The long-term healing phase (6 months onward) reveals the final, natural-looking results of the neck lift. At this stage, the facelift band usage may be discontinued entirely, guided by the surgeon’s recommendations for optimal outcomes.
