A neck lift, medically called a cervicoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging and laxity in the neck, which usually occurs due to signs of ageing, weight loss, or genetic factors. This procedure is performed to tighten the skin in the neck area, reposition the muscles, and achieve an overall younger and tighter appearance.

Neck lift surgery usually includes the following elements:

Skin Tightening: Surgical intervention to lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck.

Muscle Repositioning: Repositioning the muscles to keep the neck muscles in a more youthful position.

Removal of Excess Skin and Fat Tissue: Removal of excess skin and fat tissue on the neck, which accentuates neck lines.

Lower Jaw and Jawline Improvements: Neck lift usually includes improvements in the lower jaw and jawline.

Neck lift surgery is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia. The healing process can vary from person to person, but swelling and bruising usually subside within a few weeks. A neck lift can help improve a person’s overall appearance and aims to achieve a more youthful look by correcting sagging and laxity in the neck.
