What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty or neck reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by tightening loose muscles, removing excess skin, and redefining the jawline. It is often combined with lower facelift surgery, but can also be performed as a stand-alone procedure for those whose facial features remain youthful but whose neck shows visible signs of ageing.
Common concerns addressed with neck lift surgery include:
- Sagging or crepey skin on the neck
- Horizontal neck bands (caused by muscle laxity)
- Excess fat under the chin (double chin)
- Loss of jawline and neck definition
We take a highly personalised approach to every neck lift procedure, using advanced techniques to create long-lasting, natural results that suit your anatomy.

Our Process: From First Visit to Final Results
At Symmetry Clinic, we guide you through every stage of your treatment with professionalism, discretion, and personalised attention.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment at either our Harley Street or Shard location. Mr. Paun will listen to your goals, evaluate your facial and neck anatomy, and explain what can realistically be achieved. You’ll also undergo state-of-the-art 3D imaging to visualise potential outcomes of your neck lift procedure, and have access to patient before and after photos.
We’ll determine whether a neck lift alone is suitable, or if a combined procedure would provide better overall harmony.
Procedure
Neck lift surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes 2–3 hours. Incisions are typically made discreetly behind the ears and under the chin. Through these incisions, Mr. Paun will tighten or repair the platysma muscle (platysmaplasty), remove or sculpt excess fat (neck reduction surgery), then redrape and remove loose skin for a smoother, tighter neck contour
The exact technique will depend on your unique anatomy and goals. Many patients combine this with a lower facelift for the best results.
Recovery
You may return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Dressings are removed within 48 hours, and swelling and bruising usually improve within 2–3 weeks. Most patients resume work and social activity during this time.
Results
Final results from a neck lift typically become visible between 3 to 6 months after surgery, once swelling has fully subsided and tissues have settled. Patients can expect a smoother, firmer neckline with improved jawline definition and correction of sagging skin or muscle banding. The outcome is long-lasting and designed to look natural, ageing gracefully over time.
