A long, slender neck with well-defined borders and jawline are features of youthful beauty and elegance. Being an exposed part, the signs of aging of the neck become evident early in the form of sagging skin, deep creases and folds making you look older. A double chin or fullness under the chin can disrupt the appearance of the jawline and the neck, making it look less attractive. A neck lift addresses the age-related creases and wrinkles on the neck and restores a smoother, slimmer neck with a more contoured jawline.
The neck lift is a surgical procedure to tighten the neck and eliminate the sagging, loose skin to restore a sleek, youthful-looking neck with a more defined and prominent jawline. Neck liposuction performed as a part of the neck lift removes the excess fat under your chin to give you an improved neck silhouette. A neck lift is performed along with a facelift to address the signs of aging affecting the lower face and neck as a part of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Even though you can’t stop the process of aging, the benefit of neck lift surgery is that it can give you reasonably long-lasting results.

The neck lift is performed as a daycare procedure under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. The neck lift is performed through a small incision placed around the ear lobule, passing below and behind the ear. In case of vertical muscle bands in the neck and excess fatty deposits requiring liposuction, a separate incision is placed in the skin crease hidden under your chin. The neck muscles are tightened, fatty tissue reduced, and skin repositioned to achieve a youthful neck and a well-defined jawline.
Since it’s a daycare procedure, you will be observed for a few hours post-procedure until you are comfortable and then discharged the same evening. If performed along with a facelift, it warrants an overnight stay and monitoring for 1 day. Some bruising and swelling is expected over the face and neck, which usually resolves on its own in 7-10 days. You are advised to keep your head elevated for two weeks post-procedure to reduce swelling and maximise healing. Some numbness and hardness is expected in the neck, which usually recovers in 1-3 months. Post-operative instructions, medications, and emergency contact details are shared. The result of surgery is dramatic and immediately visible, and it further improves over the next 1-3 months as the swelling disappears.
You will follow up with Dr. Sudhanva 5-7 days and 10-14 days after the procedure. Additional follow-ups are advised at 6 weeks,12 weeks, and 12 months after your surgery.
