Surgery for a loose or banded neck, on its own or with a facelift when jawline and neck must move together.
A neck lift tightens loose neck skin and muscle bands and can remove excess fat under the chin. Incisions are usually placed under the chin and around the ears.
When sagging also affects the jawline, the surgeon may recommend combining it with a facelift, as the lower face and neck often age together.
These are general points only. Whether an operation is suitable for you is decided by the treating surgeon after an in-person examination, your medical history and any tests they request.
You share photos and your medical history. The surgeon gives a first opinion on whether the operation is suitable and what it could realistically achieve.
The surgeon examines you in person, confirms the plan, explains the risks and arranges pre-operative tests before you give consent.
Under general anaesthesia, neck muscles are tightened, fat is reduced if needed and excess skin is removed.
The surgeon reviews healing before you travel home, and you receive written aftercare instructions and remote follow-up.
Swelling and bruising are at their peak. You sleep with your head raised, use cold compresses as advised and avoid bending and heavy lifting.
Stitches are usually removed and much of the bruising fades. Some people feel comfortable in public with light make-up.
Most visible swelling settles, though some tightness or numbness can remain. Exercise is resumed gradually.
Residual swelling resolves and scars fade. The final result is usually judged after several months.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
Not always. If the jawline is also sagging, combining both usually gives a more balanced result. The surgeon will advise.
Usually under the chin and around the ears, where they are less visible once healed.
It depends on the operation. Many are planned around one to two weeks so the surgeon can check you and remove stitches or drains before you fly. Flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, so your surgeon confirms when it is safe to travel.
The price depends on the operation the surgeon recommends after examining you, the hospital stay and any combined procedures. You receive a written, itemised quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
