A neck lift can create a significant transformation by reducing sagging, tightening muscles, and reshaping the neck and jawline.
Before surgery, patients may notice sagging skin, banding, or excess fat in the neck area, which can add years to their appearance. After the procedure, the neck appears more contoured, with a firmer, youthful look.
Neck lift results
A neck lift can deliver a substantial improvement in the contours and smoothness of the neck, often taking years off one’s appearance. Results vary depending on factors like skin quality, age, and surgical technique, but the majority of patients enjoy smoother, tighter neck skin and an enhanced jawline.
How much younger will a neck lift make me look?
While individual results vary, many patients find that a neck lift helps them look 5 to 10 years younger. By reducing signs of ageing such as sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat, the procedure restores a firmer and more defined neck and jawline. This creates a fresher appearance that naturally complements the face.
What to expect post-surgery
Knowing what to expect after a neck lift is essential for a smooth recovery. Post-surgery, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the neck, which gradually subsides. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with the final result becoming more apparent over the next few months as swelling decreases.
Final result
The final results of a neck lift are visible around three to six months post-surgery. This is when the skin has fully settled, and the neck reveals a natural, rejuvenated contour. With proper care, the effects of a neck lift can last 7 to 10 years, depending on individual ageing and lifestyle factors.
Recovery process
Recovery from a neck lift involves about two weeks of downtime. During this period, patients may need to wear a compression garment to support healing. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities for at least four weeks and to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure optimal healing and results.
