What does the procedure involve?
A neck lift treats sagging of the neck and loss of the cervicomandibular angle to restore a firmer transition between the face and neck. It may be indicated on its own or together with a facelift.
When do we recommend it?
- Visible platysmal bands.
- Marked neck laxity.
- Loss of the jaw-to-neck angle.
- Patients seeking a structural, stable change.
Anatomical approach
Not every ageing neck needs the same treatment
Some necks have excess fat, others excess skin, and others muscle descent. The treatment is chosen after clearly distinguishing each component.

Frequently asked questions
Is it performed alone or with a facelift?
It depends on the ageing pattern. Sometimes the neck benefits from combining it with global facial treatment.
Does it help with a double chin?
If the double chin is part of the problem, it can be integrated into the same surgical plan.
