What is a Neck lift?

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address signs of ageing in the neck and jawline.

Over time, factors such as genetics, gravity, weight-loss and sun exposure can contribute to sagging skin, excess fat, and the development of neck bands.

A neck lift aims to rejuvenate the neck’s appearance by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and restoring a more defined contour. The procedure may involve fat reduction, muscle tightening, and skin repositioning, tailored to each individual’s specific needs. With advancements in surgical techniques, a neck lift can produce natural-looking results, enhancing both the profile and overall facial harmony. This transformative procedure is sought by those seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated neck contour, contributing to a refreshed and confident appearance.

Concerns associated with the desire for a neck lift includes:

  • Sagging skin
  • Double chin
  • Turkey neck
  • Neck wrinkles
  • Neck bands
  • Crepey skin

The Consultation

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Your Consultation

During a pre-treatment consultation for a neck lift, Mr Abood conducts a thorough assessment to understand the patient’s concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Detailed examination of neck skin elasticity, muscle separation, and fat distribution are performed. During the course of the consultation Mr Abood will take photos of the patients neck in order to aid surgical planning. These photos will be safely stored in the patient’s electronic file. Mr Abood discusses the available neck lift techniques and give his opinion on the best way forward for you. He will also discuss the expected outcomes from surgery, and any associated risks or side effects. A personalised treatment plan is then developed, taking into account the patient’s unique anatomy and preferences.

The consultation serves as an opportunity for the patient to ask questions, express concerns, and discuss their desired outcomes. Following this initial consultation, should further questions arise then Mr Abood is available on email, video consultation, telephone or through a further face to face appointment to answer these. Establishing clear lines of communication and understanding between patient and surgeon helps to contribute to a successful and satisfying neck lift experience.

The Procedure

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Procedure

A neck lift procedure involves several key steps to rejuvenate the neck’s appearance. Typically performed under general anaesthesia, Mr Abood begins by making incisions strategically placed around the ears and sometimes under the chin. Techniques may be employed to remove excess fat, and the underlying muscles are often tightened to address any sagging. Excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smoother, more defined contour. Advanced techniques aim to minimise scarring and ensure natural-looking results. The duration of the procedure varies based on the extent of correction needed but is usually between 1 and 2 hours. Postoperatively, patients will typically experience some swelling and bruising that will gradually subside in the early recovery phase. Adherence to postoperative care instructions is crucial for a successful outcome. The result is a more youthful, rejuvenated neck contour, enhancing overall facial harmony.

Aftercare & Results

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Aftercare

After a neck lift, diligent aftercare is essential for optimal results. Patients may experience swelling and bruising which is usually managed with simple pain killers, such as paracetamol, and the use of specialist supportive garments. It’s important that patients follow the post-operative instructions which they are provided with. While a change in appearance is visible immediately, it may be several weeks before the final outcome is achieved. During this time, swelling subsides and the skin starts to conform to it’s newly re-draped position.

Regular follow-up appointments with Mr Abood are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns. Following neck lift surgery patients often report a rejuvenated neck appearance with improved skin tightness and contour. The result from surgery is usually transformative and long-lasting, contributing to a more youthful and confident aesthetic.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and ensuring adequate sun protection can help prolong the results.

Four weeks ago I had upper eyelid and brow lift surgery and I am absolutely delighted with the results already. Mr Abood and his team looked after me really well. So much so, I am planning to return and have my lower lids done, once my upper lids have completely healed. I attach a before and after photo of my eyes to show what a difference the surgery has made to my lids and why I am so pleased with the results.

I can honestly say that Mr Abood is extremely personable. He made me feel at ease from my 1st meeting with him. He explained what to expect from my surgery very well. I never felt rushed during appointments, I really felt reasured when I asked questions and he knew I was worried about going to London for my breast argumentation and lower blasphemy . He took time to video call me before my operations to offer reassurance .
I can not thank him more for his kindness and professionalism.
All in all I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend him . I have discussed another surgery with him for later in the year . I would not choose a different surgeon, Mr Abood and his staff are fantastic.

The aftercare is incredible, nothing is too much and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I cannot recommend Dr Abood enough. So thankful for everything!

I had inverted nipple correction surgery on my right nipple with Dr Abood around 5 weeks ago.

I am really happy with the result of my inverted nipple correction, the nipple has healed really quickly with very minimal to no bruising and looks like it was never even inverted in the first place! I am very pleased with the result as I have always been so self conscious about having 1 inverted nipple.

Thank you Dr Abood, who was professional, skilled and knowledgeable who made me feel at ease during the surgery and followed up promptly on my after care.

The whole process was fantastic, from consultation to surgery. I could not recommend Dr Abood highly enough.

Related FAQs

Am I suitable for a neck lift?

A suitable candidate for a neck lift is an individual experiencing signs of ageing in the neck, such as sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle laxity. Good candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek a more rejuvenated and defined neck contour.

Is this safe?

A neck lift is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, such as Mr Abood, in appropriate medical settings. Risks are generally low, and advancements in surgical techniques and recovery programs contribute to safety. Rigorous preoperative assessment, adherence to safety protocols, and postoperative care further enhance the safety of neck lift procedures.

Will it hurt?

The use of a local or general anaesthetic will ensure the procedure is pain free. While some mild discomfort is expected after a neck lift, pain is typically managed with simple medications such as paracetamol. Adherence to postoperative care guidelines helps minimise any pain associated with the procedure, contributing to a more comfortable recovery experience.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Risks and side effects of a neck lift may include temporary swelling, bruising, discomfort and altered sensation in the neck or around the ears. Infrequently, there may be permanent changes in sensation, scarring, or other complications. Adherence to postoperative care guidelines minimise these risks, and complications are generally uncommon, especially when the procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon such as Mr Abood.

How much recovery time can I expect?

Recovery time after a neck lift varies, with patients typically resuming light activities within a week. Strenuous exercises may be restricted for a few weeks. Complete recovery, including final aesthetic outcomes, may take several weeks. Adherence to postoperative guidelines is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results.
