Neck Lift Sydney

Neck Lift Surgery in Sydney

 

Technical Explanation of the Procedure

A neck lift improves the contour of the neck and jawline. It targets three common concerns: loose neck skin, platysmal banding, and excess fat under the chin. Over time, the neck often shows ageing earlier than the face. For this reason, many patients seek neck lift surgery to restore definition.

A neck lift in Sydney can reduce the appearance of a “turkey neck,” soften visible neck bands, and sharpen the jaw–neck angle. It can also improve neck contour when diet and exercise do not change the underlying anatomy.

During surgery, Dr Tim places small incisions in discreet locations to reduce visible scarring. He usually positions the incisions behind the ears. When needed, he also places a small incision under the chin. This gives direct access to the central neck.

Through these incisions, Dr Tim tightens the platysma muscle. He may also remove or reposition excess fat under the chin. He then redrapes the skin and trims any excess. This technique restores smoother contour while maintaining a natural appearance.

A neck lift may improve:

  • Loose skin in the neck

  • Platysmal bands (vertical neck bands)

  • Submental fullness (fat under the chin)

  • Jawline definition and overall neck contour

Dr Tim can perform neck lift surgery as a standalone procedure. However, many patients combine it with a facelift for full lower-face rejuvenation. Dr Tim confirms suitability and surgical planning during consultation.
