Neck Lift Surgery

Dr Moss offers several options to address different appearance concerns in the neck area. What option is most appropriate will depend on each patient’s aim and concerns – in particular, whether they relate to excess or hanging skin, excess prominence of fat, or poor deep layer support. Neck lift surgery options can be performed alone, together with a Facelift or as part of a broader facial rejuvenation where other separate concerns can be addressed.

What is the best age for Neck Lift surgery?

There is no single best age for Neck Lift surgery. While some patients have surgery in their 60’s or older, most are in their 40’s or 50’s, yet some choose surgery on their neck in their 20’s or 30’s. Those in this younger age group do not have significant ageing, however choose surgery to address inherited neck contour concerns under the chin or along the neckline.

Surgical Options

These procedures can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift procedure. Patients are advised that when there are also concerns about excess facial, cheek or jawline issues, optimal results likely also require some form of facelift procedure.

• Lateral (side of) Neck Lift:
  • performed via incisions placed in concealed locations behind each ear and into the hairline.
  • involves removal of excess neck skin to help smooth the neck and better define the area under the jawline.
  • usually performed in combination with a facelift for improved results.
  • in appropriate candidates this can be performed as a stand alone procedure however it is emphasised that when performed alone it will not alone address the jowls or substantially firm the jawline.
• Submental (short incision) Neck Lift: 
  • performed via short incision concealed under the chin.
  • improves neck contour and definition.
  • removes excessive fatty tissues from deep to the platysma neck muscle.
  • provides firming of vertical neck folds under the chin by tightening of loose platysma neck muscles placement with lasting deep layer support sutures.
  • performed in combination with Face and Lateral Neck Lift Surgery for optimal results.
  • in those with good skin tone this can be performed as a stand-alone procedure to improve neck contour concerns.
• Lateral (side of) Neck and Submental (front of) Neck Lift: 
  • combines a Submental Neck Lift with a Lateral Neck Lift.
  • helps smooth out loose skin or vertical folds at the front of the neck when there is significant removal of excess neck skin is requested.
  • improves contour of the neck line.
  • provides an option for combined neck contouring and firming without any facelift in those with significant loose skin where a Submental Neck Lift should not be performed alone.
• Liposculpture: 
  • suction removal of fat pockets to address concerns about excessive fat deposits beneath the chin or in the jowls.
