Neck Lift Surgery
Neck Lift Surgery
A sagging or aging neck can make you look older than you feel, even if the rest of your face remains youthful. Neck Lift Surgery is designed to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and restore a smooth, youthful neck contour.
At Bollin Clinic, we combine advanced surgical techniques, personalised planning, and meticulous attention to detail to deliver natural, long-lasting results.
Who Is It For?
Neck lift surgery is suitable for individuals who:
- Have loose or sagging skin on the neck
- Notice bands or muscle laxity creating a “turkey neck” appearance
- Want to improve jawline definition and overall facial harmony
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
- Wish to address aging changes in the neck without undergoing a full facelift
This procedure is effective for both men and women seeking a refreshed, elegant neck contour.
The Procedure
Neck lift surgery can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia depending on the complexity.Key steps include:
- Consultation & Assessment - Detailed evaluation of neck skin, muscle tone, and fat distribution.
- Incisions - Usually hidden behind the ears and under the chin to minimize visible scars.
- Excess Skin Removal - Loose skin is removed to tighten the neck area.
- Muscle Tightening - Underlying platysma muscles may be repositioned or sutured for improved contour.
- Fat Contouring - Liposuction or direct excision may be used to remove excess fat.
- Closure & Dressing - Incisions are carefully closed, and a compression garment may be applied.
- Swelling and bruising are common but manageable with medication.
- Most patients resume light activities within 1–2 weeks.
- Full results are visible as swelling subsides over 4–6 weeks.

Discomfort is mild and controlled with pain medication. Swelling and bruising are normal but temporary.
What is the recovery period?
Most patients return to work in 1–2 weeks and resume exercise after about 4–6 weeks.
Will there be visible scars?
Scars are strategically placed behind the ears and under the chin, making them minimally noticeable.
