A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to restore a smoother, firmer and more defined neckline by addressing loose skin, excess fat and muscle laxity. Whether you're concerned about a "turkey neck", jowls or loss of jawline definition, a neck lift can create a naturally refreshed appearance while maintaining your unique facial character.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced consultant plastic surgeons perform personalised neck lift procedures using advanced surgical techniques to achieve elegant, long-lasting results that enhance facial harmony and boost confidence.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSA neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and jawline by tightening underlying muscles, removing excess skin and, where necessary, reducing excess fat beneath the chin.
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and the muscles of the neck gradually weaken, leading to loose skin, vertical neck bands and a less defined jawline. Weight fluctuations and genetics can also contribute to these changes.
A neck lift restores a firmer, smoother neck contour while enhancing the transition between the face and neck. Modern techniques focus on repositioning the deeper tissues as well as removing excess skin, creating results that appear natural rather than tight or over-corrected.
For many patients, a neck lift is performed alongside a facelift to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, although it can also be performed as a standalone procedure.

A neck lift can improve loose skin, neck bands, excess fat beneath the chin, a poorly defined jawline and other visible signs of ageing affecting the neck.
If excess fat is contributing to a double chin, your surgeon may remove it during the procedure, often using liposuction alongside tissue tightening to create a more defined profile.
Yes. A neck lift can be performed as a standalone procedure if the primary concern is the neck. However, many patients choose to combine it with a facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and, where necessary, beneath the chin. They are designed to heal discreetly and become less noticeable over time.
Most patients return to work and normal daily activities within two weeks. Swelling and bruising continue to improve over the following weeks, with strenuous exercise usually avoided for around six weeks.
While the natural ageing process continues, the results of a neck lift are long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight can help preserve your outcome for many years.
Yes. Our consultant surgeons focus on restoring youthful definition and contour while preserving your natural facial features and expressions.
Initial improvements are visible as swelling subsides, with the final results typically becoming fully apparent within three to six months, revealing a smoother, firmer and more youthful neckline.
