Restore a Smoother, More Sculpted Neck and Jawline With Necklift Surgery
Necklift
The neck often shows signs of aging sooner than we realise. Loose skin, visible bands, and a less defined jawline can alter the balance of your lower face. A necklift helps restore smoother, more refined contours, creating a natural transition from the chin to the collarbone. The focus isn’t on changing how you look, but on bringing back definitions that complement your features.
What Is a Necklift?
A necklift is a surgical procedure that refines the neck and jawline by addressing sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat. These changes may develop gradually, sometimes leading to what’s commonly called a “turkey neck” or a softer jaw contour, even when the rest of the face still appears youthful.
During the procedure, the underlying neck muscles (platysma) are tightened, and excess skin and fat are carefully removed or repositioned to create a firmer, more defined profile. Modern techniques also focus on precision and proportion, achieving results that look seamless rather than altered. Depending on your needs, a necklift may be performed alone or alongside a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is a Necklift Right for You?
If you’ve noticed that the area beneath your chin or along your jawline feels heavier or less defined, a necklift may help restore structure and balance. It may be suitable if you experience:
Loose or sagging skin beneath the chin or jawline
Prominent neck bands or visible muscle separation (platysmal banding)
Excess fat under the chin that persists despite healthy weight
A poorly defined jawline or “turkey neck” appearance
Noticeable ageing in the neck compared to the face

Frequently Asked
Questions
Questions
Don’t see an answer to your question?
How is a necklift different from a facelift?
A necklift focuses primarily on the lower face, jawline, and neck, while a facelift targets the mid- and lower face. In some cases, both may be combined for a smoother, more unified result.
Will the scars be visible?
Incisions are carefully placed within natural creases, typically around the ears and sometimes beneath the chin, so they blend discreetly once healed. Over time, these scars usually fade, becoming barely noticeable as the skin settles into its new contour.
Will the results look natural?
A well-executed necklift aims for subtle refinement rather than drastic change. The goal is to restore smoother, firmer contours that blend naturally with your facial features, not to create an artificial or overly tight appearance.
How long do necklift results last?
While natural aging continues, improvements from a necklift are long-lasting, often around 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a stable weight, practising good skincare, and sun protection can help prolong the results.
