Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) TREATMENT OVERVIEW

Overview

A Neck Lift or Platysmaplasty (or neck tightening or neck contouring) is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying muscles, and restoring a smoother, more youthful contour. It’s commonly used to address signs of ageing, such as sagging skin, muscle banding, and loss of definition along the jawline and neck.

In some cases it can also address fullness in the neck as a result of generics to enhance the jawline.

FAQs
What are the benefits of Neck Lift Surgery?

The neck is one of the first places to show the signs of ageing. A Neck Lift can rejuvenate the neck, define the jawline, and dramatically reduce loose skin and wrinkles. The procedure provides long-lasting results and can significantly improve your confidence, wellbeing, and self-esteem.

From where is excess neck skin removed?

The skin of the neck is usually lifted upward and backward. The redundant skin is removed, leaving the scars behind and under the earlobe.

Will there be scars after Neck Lift surgery?

All surgery leaves scars. Our surgeons will do their utmost to ensure the scar is as small and discreet as possible. Plastic surgeons, like the specialists at Bella Vou, are experts in making incisions and suturing in ways that minimise scarring. Depending on the particular procedure, the scars can be behind the ear and under the chin. Once healed, the scars will be hard to detect.

How much does a neck lift cost in the UK?

The cost of Neck Lift Surgery or Platysmaplasty can vary widely depending on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, and whether it is performed under general or local anesthetic.

YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY

1

Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation

Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon with no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultant will discuss your concerns and the results you would like to achieve, then perform a detailed examination.

The aesthetic surgeon will check the skin elasticity, look for jowls and sagging, and identify areas with loose skin and excess fat. It’s unusual for the neck to show age-related changes without the face also being affected. Surgery in one area often highlights problems elsewhere. So, the specialist will evaluate the face and neck as a whole. They will develop a customised treatment programme, always considering your thoughts, preferences, and needs. Bella Vou will give you an honest and impartial professional opinion. Leading surgeon Mr Amir Nakhdjevani says:

‘We make sure that we advise people correctly about whether surgery is right for them. We treat everyone as if they were our family. We might turn people away, suggest alternative treatments, or we may suggest that they go to a different specialist at another establishment. If someone is uncertain about an operation, we're happy to see them several times, without a consultation charge. At Bella Vou, we never pressurise people or try to sell procedures. It's always about giving an honest opinion and honest advice.’

Step 2. Meet your surgeon

You’ll be offered a further appointment with Mr Amir Nakhdjevani before proceeding to surgery. This will give you a chance to discover more about the procedures, find out any risks and complications, and ask any questions you may have.

3

Step 3. Preparation for Neck Lift Surgery

The team at Bella Vou will give you a personal preparation plan to reduce complications and improve recovery.

Let your surgeon know if you're on any medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. It's also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes; they can promote wrinkling and disturb the healthy healing process.

On the day of your surgery, you’ll be personally welcomed to Bella Vou, given a gown to wear and escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre. As you will be awake throughout the surgery, you will be greeted by your surgeon, and you can even choose the music you would like to hear during your operation.

Step 4. What happens in Platysmaplasty

The surgeon will perform your Neck Lift under local anaesthetic. It is done as a day case procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay in hospital overnight.

The consultant will inject local anaesthetic so that the area is numb. You will feel a little movement and pressure, but the procedure will be pain-free. They will make a small incision under the chin, so that it is hidden from view, then suture the platysma muscle together to tighten and pull back the neck.

The surgeon will use the innovative Vaser Liposculpture device to liquefy excess fat, suck it out, and contour the neck and jawline. Finally, they will pull the skin tight and trim any excess tissue to lift, smooth, and rejuvenate the area.

The surgeon will close the incisions using fine, absorbable sutures that don’t need to be removed.

Step 5. Recovery from Neck Lift

After the operation, you can relax in the comfort of Bella Vou's recovery suites. The staff will offer you refreshments, explain your aftercare, and monitor your recovery.
You'll be able to go home the same day with no drains or drips. You should ask a friend or family member to pick you up and escort you home, One of the Bella Vou team will give you a call the day after surgery to make sure you're well, have had a good night, and to answer any questions.

There will be a little swelling and bruising, this should settle in less than a week, and you will be able to return to work and normal activities. After one week, the nurse and wound care specialist will check your scars. At around six weeks, your surgeon will check your progress, and at six months, you'll be offered a follow-up check to ensure that you remain healthy and happy with your results.

The Bella Vou staff are always available if you have any questions or concerns between appointments.
