What is Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that smooths and tightens the skin and muscles of the neck. It’s designed to address sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat under the chin – common signs of ageing that can make you look older than you feel.

At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, our expert surgeons provide bespoke neck lift procedures that refine the jawline and restore a firmer, more youthful neck profile. Whether performed alone or in combination with a facelift, a neck lift can significantly rejuvenate your appearance.

What Happens During Surgery?

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and assess your neck structure to determine the best approach. The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia.

Small incisions are made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. The underlying neck muscles are tightened, and excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned. The skin is then re-draped to create a smoother, more defined contour.
You may be fitted with a compression garment post-surgery to reduce swelling and support healing.

Is Neck Lift Surgery Right For Me?

You may benefit from a neck lift if you:

  • Have loose, sagging skin around your neck or jawline
  • Struggle with a “turkey neck” or vertical banding
  • Have good overall health and realistic expectations
  • Want to improve neck definition and achieve a younger look

Neck lift surgery may not be suitable if your skin lacks elasticity or if you are seeking minor, non-surgical adjustments.

  • Smoother, tighter neck and jawline
  • Improved definition under the chin
  • Reduction in sagging skin and muscle bands
  • Natural, long-lasting rejuvenation
  • Can be combined with facelift for enhanced results

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, such as:

  • Bruising and swelling
  • Temporary numbness or tightness
  • Visible scarring (usually minimal and well-hidden)
  • Infection, bleeding, or fluid accumulation
  • Irregular contours or asymmetry

Your surgeon will explain all risks and aftercare steps clearly during your consultation.
