Overview
Neck ageing has three components: excess skin, fullness beneath the chin, and separation of the platysma muscle. Treating only one produces a partial result, so the assessment determines which combination applies to you.
Who it suits
- Loose skin or vertical banding of the neck
- Fullness under the chin despite a stable weight
- Loss of the sharp angle between jaw and neck
The procedure
2 to 3 hours. A small incision beneath the chin allows muscle tightening and contouring; skin redraping is achieved through incisions behind the ears when required.
Recovery
Days 1–5
Supportive garment worn, swelling most noticeable.
Week 2
Return to most daily activity and desk work.
Weeks 4–8
Contour refines; exercise resumed progressively.
Results
A durable, defined neckline that continues to age naturally from a better starting point.
