Neck Lift
Neck lifting surgery addresses laxity, bands, and excess fat caused by age, genetics, or gravity to redefine the neck and jawline in harmony with the face.
What is neck lift?
Neck lift combines platysmaplasty and skin tightening to correct sagging, lax skin, vertical bands, and fat accumulation while keeping the chin, jawline, and face in balance.
Why does the neck age sooner?
The neck skin is thinner, has less supportive tissue, and is exposed to constant movement—so sagging, vertical platysma bands, and an undefined jawline often appear early.
What does neck lift improve?
- Sagging skin along the neck
- Loss of jawline definition
- Prominent vertical bands
- Fat beneath the chin
- A tired or aged neck appearance
Who is a candidate?
- Individuals with noticeable neck sagging
- People who lost jawline crispness
- Those with facial procedures seeking balanced neck harmony
- Anyone desiring a younger, more balanced profile
- Patients medically cleared for surgery
How is it performed?
- Detailed analysis of the neck and chin anatomy
- Incisions hidden behind the ears and in the hairline
- Excess skin and fat reshaped
- Platysma muscles tightened
- Neck and jawline resculpted
- Fine sutures close the incisions
- Average duration: 2–4 hours
Techniques
Classic neck lift
Ideal for advanced looseness; skin and muscle are lifted together.
Mini neck lift
Uses smaller incisions for mild-to-moderate laxity and quicker recovery.
Combined face & neck lift
Addresses upper and lower aging simultaneously for harmonious results.
Recovery
- First days: swelling, tightness, and gentle bruising
- Week 1: cautious return to daily activities
- Weeks 2–3: most swelling subsides
- 1–3 months: the neck contour sharpens
- 3–6 months: final results are visible
Healing varies by patient and technique.
Do scars remain?
Incisions hide behind the ears and hairline, fading over time and generally not noticeable from the outside.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is usually mild-to-moderate, with patients describing tightness or fullness rather than sharp pain.
Do the results look natural?
The aim is to avoid an over-stretched look and preserve natural neck curves while accentuating the jawline for a timeless, balanced outcome.
Are results long-lasting?
Neck lift delivers durable improvements—while aging continues, the reshaped contour persists for many years.
Pricing
Pricing starts at 5.500€, depending on the details of the procedure.
The final fee may vary depending on several factors. For example, the patient's overall health condition, where the procedure will be performed, and the scope of the procedure are all considered before the final price is determined.
