Surgical Neck Lift

A surgical neck lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying muscles, and restoring a smooth, youthful contour. It addresses sagging skin, “turkey neck,” or horizontal neck bands, creating a defined jawline and enhanced lower face harmony. Performed under general anaesthesia, a surgical neck lift provides long-lasting, natural-looking results. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use precise techniques to ensure optimal neck contouring while preserving natural expression and aesthetics.

Treatment Process

A surgical neck lift is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours. It includes:

Detailed assessment of neck skin, muscle tone, fat distribution, and aesthetic goals to plan a personalised surgical approach.

General anaesthesia ensures safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

Incisions are placed discreetly under the chin and behind the ears. Excess skin and fat are removed, and neck muscles are tightened to create a smoother, firmer contour.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and compression dressings may be applied. Patients are monitored post-operatively for safety and comfort.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Results are long-lasting, often 10–15 years, although natural ageing continues.

Incisions are discreetly placed under the chin and behind the ears, becoming minimally visible once healed.

Most patients experience mild discomfort managed with pain relief during recovery.

Initial improvement is visible as swelling reduces, with final results apparent over 2–3 months.
