Neck Lifts

As we age some of us end up with sagging and loose skin on our necks. The dreaded turkey neck ages us beyond our years and detracts from our overall appearance. A slim taught neck is the framework that sets off our facial features.

A Neck Lift can help tighten the loose skin, treat double chins and triple chins as well as a create a smoother overall appearance in the neck region.

How does a Neck Lift work?

A Neck Lift is an effective method of lifting of sagging neck skin to smooth out the neck region. It involves the contraction of skin or removal of skin from the neck region in order to tighten the skin. This can be achieved a number of ways.

• Scarless Neck Lift™  is a technique developed by Dr, Ashley Granot that helps lift the skin in the neck region using Liposuction to extract excess fat in the neck (if required) . It promotes collagen regrowth to help the skin adhere to the underlying muscles while eliminating sagging skin.
• Laser Lipolysis/Vaser Hi Def Liposuction involves the use of a probe under the skin to create heat and if desired remove any excess fat. The heat created contracts the skin collagen and encourages a better attachment of the tightened skin to the underlying muscles.
• Suture Neck Lift involves the use of special suture (stitches) to elevate and attach the skin to a tighter and higher level causing the loose neck skin to appear tighter and smoother.
• Platysmal Plication involves making a small inconspicuous incision under the chin and "plicating" (folding & tigtening) the muscles under the chin which helps to lift sagging and loose skin without removing any of the skin.
• Traditional Neck Lift involves the surgical excision of excess skin via an incision around the front and back of the ears, and then tightening the underlying muscles in the neck area (known as a Platysmaplasty).

What should you expect after Neck Lift surgery?

After your procedure you may feel drowsy from the anaesthetic. It is important to have someone drive you home and stay overnight. On this evening we recommend you rest. You are provided with an after hours direct number in the event you may have any questions or concerns you wish to speak to us about.

As there are a number of different Neck Lift procedures the recovery may vary significantly. Our Surgeons can fully explain the recovery times for each procedure during your no obligation consultation.

If you have any questions or concerns please call the Clinic to speak with your Surgeon, Nurses or one of our staff members.

How much does it cost?

As every patient we see has different requirements, it is difficult to provide standardised pricing as each procedure is tailored for each individual patient's situation. A no obligation consultation with one of Surgeons is essential in determining what you require and which procedure would be best suited for you.

Our philosophy is simple. We want you to be fully informed, and we want you to understand all your options and have one accurate price quoted once. Consultation fees may apply.

There is no need for you to obtain a referral from your own doctor to see one of our Surgeons. Generally we are able to book you in to see one of our Surgeons in 7 to 14 days.
