Do you feel that the skin around your neck has lost its firmness over time, leaving you longing for a smoother, more youthful appearance?

Over time, ageing, genetics, or weight changes can cause the neck’s skin and muscles to lose elasticity, resulting in visible sagging and lines. A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a precise surgical procedure that addresses these concerns by tightening the skin, redefining the jawline, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles or neck "bands."

With every neck lift fully tailored to your unique features, expert facial plastic surgeon Mr Aftab Ahmed ensures results that are beautifully natural and perfectly suited to you. Performed in modern, state-of-the-art clinics in Nottingham and Doncaster, the procedure is designed to help you look and feel your very best in a safe and professional setting. Let us help you rediscover your confidence.

Also Known As: Lower face lift, lower rhytidectomy, neck contouring surgery.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of ageing in the neck and jawline, offering a more defined and youthful contour. It involves tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and in some cases, reducing fat deposits for a smoother and firmer appearance.

A neck lift can address a variety of concerns, including:

• Loose or sagging skin in the neck.
• Wrinkles or horizontal lines ("turkey neck").
• Muscle bands or cords in the neck.
• Jowls or loss of jawline definition.

The result is a rejuvenated neck and jawline that enhances your natural beauty while maintaining a harmonious balance with the rest of your face.

What Happens During a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a straightforward procedure designed to produce subtle yet impactful results. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: During your consultation, Mr Ahmed will assess your concerns and discuss your goals. Together, you’ll create a personalised treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
2. Procedure: The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. Small, discreet incisions are made around the ears and, in some cases, under the chin. Through these incisions, the underlying muscles are tightened, excess skin is removed, and fat may be repositioned or reduced for a smoother contour.
3. Recovery: Swelling and bruising are normal in the first week, but most patients can return to light activities within 10–14 days. Full results become more visible as healing progresses over the following weeks.

Types of Neck Lift

Neck lift procedures are highly versatile, with techniques carefully designed by Mr Aftab Ahmed to address a range of aesthetic concerns and suit individual anatomy. Here’s an overview of the main options:

• Traditional Neck Lift:
  This classic approach focuses on tightening loose skin and underlying muscles to create a smoother, more defined neck contour. It’s an excellent choice for individuals with significant skin laxity, providing a firmer and rejuvenated appearance.
• Neck Liposuction:
  Perfect for those with stubborn fat under the chin or along the neck, liposuction removes localised fat deposits to sculpt and refine the area. This technique works best for individuals with good skin elasticity who want to address fullness in the neck caused by excess fat.
• Anterior Neck Lift:
  Using a discreet incision under the chin, this technique targets vertical neck bands (sometimes referred to as a "turkey wattle") and tightens the underlying muscles. It’s ideal for achieving a smoother, more youthful neckline while addressing specific structural concerns.
• Extended Neck Lift:
  For a more comprehensive rejuvenation, the extended neck lift addresses both the neck and lower face. By tightening and repositioning the deeper tissues in these areas, this technique creates a seamless transition between the neck and jawline. It’s often paired with a facelift for a harmonious and long-lasting result.

During your consultation, Mr Aftab Ahmed will assess your needs and recommend the best technique to help you achieve natural and beautifully refined results.

Is a Neck Lift Painful?

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any discomfort during surgery. Mild tightness or soreness is normal during recovery, but this can be managed with pain relief medication.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Neck Lift?

Most patients can resume normal activities within 10–14 days, with swelling and bruising improving significantly during this time. Full results typically appear over the following weeks as healing progresses.

Will There Be Scarring After a Neck Lift?

Incisions are strategically placed around the ears and under the chin to minimise visibility. Once healed, scars are discreet and often blend naturally with the skin.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is ideal for individuals bothered by sagging skin, jowls, or wrinkles in the neck and jawline. During your consultation, Mr Ahmed will assess your concerns and determine if a neck lift is the right choice for you.

Are the Results of a Neck Lift Permanent?

While a neck lift provides long-lasting results, it cannot stop the natural ageing process. However, most patients enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for 10–15 years with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle.

Are Neck Lifts Safe?

Yes, neck lifts are generally considered safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Mr Aftab Ahmed. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as swelling, bruising, or infection, but these are typically rare and manageable. During your consultation, Mr Ahmed will thoroughly discuss any potential risks and ensure you’re fully informed before proceeding.

Can You Have a Neck Lift Without a Facelift?

Yes, a neck lift can be performed on its own to specifically address concerns such as sagging skin, muscle bands, or excess fat in the neck area. While some patients choose to combine a neck lift with a facelift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation, a standalone neck lift is an excellent choice for enhancing the neck and jawline.
