Refine the neck angle and jaw-neck transition — addressing skin laxity, platysmal bands, and fat when appropriate.
Neck lift surgery improves signs of ageing below the jawline — loose skin, vertical platysmal bands, and sometimes fat under the chin. It may be performed alone or combined with facelift for continuous jaw-to-neck rejuvenation.
Incisions are typically placed around the ear and/or under the chin depending on the plan.
Patients bothered by neck laxity, banding, or loss of cervicomental definition may benefit. Younger patients with isolated submental fat may need liposuction only; older patients with skin redundancy often need excisional techniques.
Thyroid enlargement or major salivary issues must be evaluated medically before cosmetic neck surgery.
Clearer jaw-neck angle when laxity or bands are present
Customisable combination with liposuction or facelift
Incision patterns discussed to balance access with scar concealment
Postoperative support for garment use and wound care
Diagnosis-led plan
Skin, fat, muscle, and gland contributions assessed.
Access & contouring
Direct excision, platysmaplasty, and/or liposuction as indicated.
Redraping & closure
Vector control for natural neck contour.
Recovery monitoring
Drain management if applicable and staged return to activity.
Neck tightness and swelling are expected early. Keep the head elevated, avoid turning the neck aggressively, and wear compression if supplied.
Watch for seroma signs, infection, or nerve symptoms — the clinic will advise when driving and exercise are safe.
Next step
Arrange a confidential consultation to review options, alternatives, and a personalised plan with Dr. Manandhar.
