A well-defined neck and jawline plays a major role in facial attractiveness. However, factors like aging, genetics, weight fluctuations, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits often lead to loose skin, muscle laxity, and fat accumulation in the neck area.
At Realbeauty Clinic, our advanced neck lift surgery (also called platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy) provides transformative rejuvenation by tightening the muscles, removing excess skin, and refining the jawline for a naturally youthful appearance.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and under-chin area. The surgery targets:

• Excess or sagging skin (“turkey neck” or skin laxity)
• Stubborn fat deposits under the chin or jawline
• Weak or separated neck muscles (leading to vertical neck bands)
• Loss of definition in the jawline and chin area

By tightening the deeper structures and redraping the skin, our surgeons create a smoother, firmer, and more contoured neck profile. Unlike temporary skin-tightening treatments, a neck lift offers long-lasting, dramatic results.

Why Do People Get Neck Lift Surgery?

The neck often shows aging before the rest of the face. Many patients choose this procedure because they notice:

• Sagging skin that no longer responds to skincare
• A double chin despite a healthy weight
• Loss of jawline definition
• Wrinkles, creases, or “crepey” neck texture
• A mismatch between the youthful face and aging neck

A neck lift can reverse years of aging and restore a more refreshed, elegant appearance — without looking surgical or artificial.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Neck Lift at Realbeauty Clinic?

You may be a good candidate if you:

✔ Have sagging neck skin

With age, collagen and elastin break down, causing skin to loosen. A neck lift removes this excess skin and lifts the area.

✔ Have stubborn fat under the chin

Even with proper diet and exercise, a “double chin” can persist. Surgical fat removal refines the contour.

✔ Have visible neck bands

Platysmal muscle separation creates vertical bands. Tightening restores a smooth surface.

✔ Want long-lasting rejuvenation

Unlike non-surgical treatments, a neck lift gives long-term improvement.

✔ Are healthy and have realistic expectations

Candidates should not smoke actively, have stable health, and understand the natural yet noticeable outcomes.

If needed, a neck lift can also be combined with a facelift, chin liposuction, or chin implant to enhance harmony and maximize results.

Neck Lift Techniques Used at Realbeauty Clinic

Our surgeons customize every procedure to match your anatomy, age, and goals. The most common techniques include:

1. Cervicoplasty (Skin Removal)

This method is ideal when loose skin is the main concern. Excess skin is removed, tightened, and smoothed, resulting in a firmer neck surface.

2. Platysmaplasty (Muscle Tightening)

Aging often weakens or separates the platysma muscle, forming visible vertical bands. Tightening and suturing the muscle creates:

• Stronger neck structure
• Smoother appearance
• A youthful contour

This procedure is essential for long-lasting, natural results.

3. Submental Liposuction

For patients with excess fat under the chin:

• Small cannulas remove unwanted fat
• Jawline contour becomes more defined
• Neck profile looks slimmer and sharper

This technique can be done alone or combined with other methods.

4. Comprehensive Neck Lift (Full Approach)

Most patients benefit from a combination of:

• Skin tightening
• Muscle repair
• Fat removal

The surgeon chooses hidden incisions behind the ears and/or under the chin to ensure minimal visible scarring.

The Neck Lift Procedure — Step by Step

At Realbeauty Clinic, your comfort and safety are top priorities. Here’s what you can expect:

✔ 1. Consultation & Assessment

Our specialist examines your:

• Skin laxity
• Fat distribution
• Neck muscle condition
• Facial structure
• Medical history

Together, you design a personalized surgical plan.

✔ 2. Anesthesia

Depending on your needs, procedures use:

• Local anesthesia with sedation
• or general anesthesia

Both options are safe and pain-free.

✔ 3. Creating Discreet Incisions

Typical incision sites are:

• Behind the ears (hidden in natural creases)
• Under the chin (almost invisible once healed)

✔ 4. Sculpting & Tightening

The surgeon:

• Removes excess fat
• Tightens or sutures the platysma muscle
• Removes and redrapes loose skin
• Shapes a defined neck angle

✔ 5. Closing the Incisions

Fine sutures or surgical adhesives are used for minimal scarring.

✔ 6. Short Recovery & Monitoring

Most patients return home the same day.

Neck Lift Recovery — What to Expect

The healing process is usually smooth, and our clinic provides detailed aftercare guidance.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• Days 1–3: Mild swelling, bruising, tightness
• Day 7: Many patients return to work
• 2–3 weeks: Most swelling resolves
• 4–6 weeks: Full activity allowed
• 3–6 months: Final contour and scar fading

Helpful Recovery Tips

• Sleep with your head elevated
• Avoid heavy lifting for 2–3 weeks
• Use cold compresses
• Keep incisions clean and protected
• Wear recommended compression garments
• Avoid smoking, as it delays healing

Our team is available for support throughout your recovery.

Results — What You Will See After a Neck Lift

Patients enjoy:

✔ A smoother and tighter neck

✔ A sharper, more defined jawline

✔ Elimination of sagging skin

✔ Reduced double chin

✔ Improved facial harmony

✔ Younger and more elegant appearance

✔ Results that last many years

As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine, neck lift results remain long-lasting and continue to look natural.

Risks and Considerations

Neck lift surgery is safe when performed by experienced surgeons, but like all procedures, it carries potential risks:

• Temporary numbness
• Mild asymmetry
• Bruising or swelling
• Infection (rare)
• Hematoma
• Scarring (usually minimal and hidden)
• Delayed healing in smokers

At Realbeauty Clinic, our pre-surgical evaluations and advanced techniques significantly reduce these risks.
