A Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to tighten loose, sagging skin and muscle in the neck and under the jawline. It is the definitive solution for eliminating a “turkey wattle,” reducing horizontal neck bands, and restoring a crisp, elegant, and youthful neck contour that beautifully frames the face.
Treatment
At Shumaila’s London, we ensure you never walk the path of your surgical journey alone. From your initial consultation through to your final transformational result, our dedicated medical experts will be by your side, providing compassionate and continuous support.
The Procedure
The neck is often one of the first areas to reveal a person’s true age because the skin is thinner and highly susceptible to gravity and sun damage. As elasticity wanes, the platysma muscle separated into vertical bands, and excess fat accumulates beneath the chin. A neck lift directly addresses these issues by removing redundant skin, performing liposuction on stubborn fat pockets, and suturing the weakened muscles back tightly together like a corset. At Shumaila’s London, we tailor every aspect of this treatment to your unique anatomy and aspirations, ensuring a premium experience that is synonymous with our brand.

Frequent Asked Questions
Yes, it can be performed as a standalone procedure if your primary concern is isolated to the neck area.
The incisions are strategically hidden—one tiny incision just under the chin, and others concealed behind the ears and in the lower hairline.
Patients typically report mild to moderate discomfort, which feels more like tightness than acute pain, easily managed with prescribed medication.
A neck lift offers long-lasting results, usually 10 to 15 years, though you will continue to age naturally from your new, rejuvenated baseline.
Yes, a neck lift frequently incorporates submental liposuction to permanently remove the fat pad responsible for a double chin.
Chin liposuction only removes fat, assuming your skin has enough elasticity to shrink back. A neck lift is mandatory if you have loose, hanging skin and separated platysma muscles (vertical neck bands).
Not necessarily. An isolated neck lift is perfect for patients whose lower face (cheeks and jawline) shows very little aging, but who specifically struggle with “turkey wattle” or severe neck laxity.
The surgeon makes an incision beneath the chin to access the separated platysma muscles, suturing them tightly together like an internal corset (platysmaplasty), before re-draping and removing the excess skin.
The submental incision is very small (around 2-3cm) and expertly hidden in the natural crease just beneath the chin, making it virtually undetectable once fully healed.
Yes, small surgical drains are almost always placed behind the ears for 1 to 2 days to collect excess fluid and blood, which significantly reduces severe post-operative swelling and complications.
Light walking is encouraged immediately. However, you must avoid any strenuous exercise or heavy lifting that strains the neck muscles for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
