Neck Lift
Overview
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that may be considered to address neck tissue laxity, muscle banding, and/or localised fat, depending on anatomy.
It may be performed alone or combined with a facelift in selected cases.
A consultation is required to confirm suitability and to discuss the likely degree of change, scarring, recovery, and risks. Outcomes vary.

About This Procedure
A neck lift can involve incisions around the ears and sometimes under the chin, with tightening of the platysma muscle, removal or repositioning of fat, and redraping of skin.
Incision placement aims to reduce visibility, but scars are permanent and vary in appearance.
