“In facial rejuvenation I aim for a rested, not a 'pulled' look; by tightening the tissues in the right direction and in balance, I provide a natural result that looks like your own face.”
A neck lift tightens sagging neck skin, removes excess fat under the chin and repairs the loosened platysma muscle to create a sharp, youthful jaw-neck line. It is often performed together with a facelift.
It treats neck sagging from ageing or weight loss, fat accumulation under the chin (double chin), loose platysmal bands (“turkey neck”) and a blunted jaw-neck angle. It is most common in candidates over 40.
In mild cases submental liposuction alone may suffice; with significant skin/muscle laxity a neck lift that removes excess skin and repairs the platysma is preferred.
General anaesthesia or sedation; scars hidden under the chin and behind the ears
