Necklift
Tightening the upper neck and re-defining the jawline — alone or with a facelift.
Overview
Necklift — in our words.
A necklift addresses laxity below the jawline — the platysmal bands, the cervico-mental angle, and excess fat under the chin.
Often combined with a facelift; sometimes performed alone in younger patients whose face does not yet need it.
Who it's for
- Patients with early visible platysmal bands.
- Patients with excess fat under the chin unresponsive to weight change.
- Patients whose face is well preserved but whose neck reveals their age.
Technique
How we operate.
Submental incision plus around-the-ear access. Direct treatment of the platysma muscle and refined liposuction where indicated.

Risks & honesty
What we don't pretend isn't true.
- No surgery is risk-free. We discuss the specific risks of your case in consultation, not as boilerplate.
- Individual results vary. Patient anatomy, age, healing biology and aftercare all shape the outcome.
- Revision rates across our recorded series are below the published industry average — but they are not zero.
No surgical or non-surgical procedure is risk-free. Individual results vary. This page is a summary; the full discussion happens in consultation.
Questions
Questions worth answering.
Yes. A necklift is often performed alone, particularly in younger patients whose lower face doesn't yet need a facelift — it's combined with a facelift only when jawline and midface laxity are also present. The right combination is decided in consultation, based on where the laxity actually shows.
