Neck Lift
The signs of ageing can affect the neck area just as much as the face. When looking to the appearance, it is often necessary to consider the neck as wrinkles and sagging skin in this area can help to give away a person’s age. A neck lift often long-term results for smoother, looking skin.

What to Expect on the Day
The neck lift can be approached in a couple of ways. Cervicoplasty works to remove excess skin which is lifted and cut away an incision made at the back of the neck.
This type of neck lift is often chosen when combined with a facelift. Your surgeon may suggest platysmaplasty when a more dramatic result is desired. Through an incision made in the hairline and around the back of the ear, the skin can be pulled tight after the platysma muscle has also been tightened and repositioned.
In some cases, rejuvenating the neck and lower face requires the removal of excess fat. Liposuction can be performed to achieve this before carrying out the neck lift procedure.
A neck lift in London usually takes two to three hours under general anaesthetic, often as a day case.
You may find that you need to take things easy for a few weeks. The procedure may require you to take up to 2 weeks off work.
We recommend patients begin gentle movement around two days after surgery. Light activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and carrying out basic daily tasks are encouraged to support circulation and recovery.
Gentle walking is encouraged early, but strenuous exercise and lifting should wait six weeks.
Most patients can drive again after about two weeks, once swelling has eased and they can move comfortably.
You can usually shower after two days, avoiding hot water or pressure on the treated area.
Between six months to a full year. While most swelling subsides within the first few months, subtle changes and final results may continue to develop over time.
Results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, though ageing will naturally continue.
A neck lift removes excess skin and tightens muscles to restore a smoother, Sunekos Revive more defined neck and jawline.
It may not be suitable if you have uncontrolled health conditions, poor healing, or significant skin laxity not correctable with surgery.
Showering After a Neck Lift
Our surgeons may recommend that you wait for 48 hours before showering. You will need to take care not to use hot water or a powerful jet. Your surgeon will provide you with aftercare advice before leaving the clinic, which will include instructions for how and when to wash your hair.
Follow Up and Aftercare
Our aftercare process a series of follow up appointments, which are made 1 week, 6 weeks and 3 months after the procedure. We ensure that you are looked after just as carefully after the procedure as you are during the procedure and all follow up appointments and aftercare is to help you recover well and achieve a successful result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many people who are concerned with the signs of ageing look to undergo a procedure such as a neck lift to help restore a more youthful appearance. It is often the face that receives attention when considering a suitable anti-ageing solution, however, the neck helps to achieve an all over rejuvenated look. Sagging skin (turkey neck), neck bands and crepey skin can be reduced to give a refreshed appearance.
It is usual for the neck and lower face to feel stiff, swollen and bruised following the procedure. It may take a few weeks for these effects to subside, when your level of comfort will also feel more normal.
The results of a neck lift can last for many years, and in many cases a person doesn’t feel the need to seek a repeat procedure. However, you must note that natural ageing will continue to progress so it is not a guarantee that wrinkles and sagging skin will not in the future.
