About This Procedure
A neck lift (platysmaplasty / cervicoplasty) addresses sagging neck skin, bands of platysma muscle (“turkey neck”), and jowling that develops with ageing. It produces a clean, defined jawline and a smoother neck contour — often described as the most ageing-revealing area of the face.
Neck lift surgery can be performed alone or combined with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. At Soulplace Surgery, the approach is individualised, using the minimal effective incision to achieve a natural, refreshed result without a “operated” look.

Recovery
A chin strap or bandage is worn for several days. Swelling and bruising around the neck and jaw are expected and normal.
The majority of swelling and bruising reduces by the end of week two. Most patients feel comfortable in public by this point.
Light work and most daily activities resume. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and direct sun exposure to the neck.
Tightness and minor numbness resolve progressively. Scars are hidden behind the ears and under the chin; they fade over 12 months.
Safety & Scarring
Neck lift risks include temporary numbness, haematoma, scarring, skin irregularity, asymmetry, and injury to underlying structures. These are rare when surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon in an appropriate facility.
Have Questions?
A neck lift focuses specifically on the neck and lower jawline. A facelift addresses the mid and lower face as well. Many patients have both performed together for a comprehensive lower facial rejuvenation. Your surgeon will recommend the right scope.
Incisions are placed under the chin and behind the ears, within the natural contours of the face and head. They are generally well concealed and fade to fine, pale lines within 6–12 months.
This depends on where you are seeing the most visible change. If jowling and mid-face sagging are significant, a facelift may be recommended alongside the neck lift. If the concern is predominantly the neck and chin, a neck lift alone may deliver excellent results.
Results typically last 5–10 years. The procedure significantly resets the clock on neck and jawline laxity. Many patients remain very happy with their result for a decade or more with a healthy lifestyle.
Yes. A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift, liposuction of the chin, or blepharoplasty for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Your surgeon will advise what combinations are safe and effective.
