Rediscover a Smooth, Youthful Neck Contour

At PSG, we understand that the neck is often one of the first areas to reveal visible signs of aging. Over time, skin laxity, fat accumulation, and weakening muscles can create jowls, a double chin, and loose skin beneath the jawline. A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, helps smooth, tighten, and define the neck and jawline for a naturally refreshed appearance. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in precise facial and neck contouring procedures that combine surgical expertise with aesthetic artistry. Whether you are seeking subtle refinement or more comprehensive rejuvenation, our goal is always the same: to help you look like yourself, only more refreshed and confident.

What a Neck Lift Can Achieve

A neck lift addresses both the underlying muscles and the surface skin to restore smoother, more youthful contours. Depending on your concerns, the procedure may help:

  • Eliminate jowls and sagging skin along the lower face and neck
  • Define the jawline and restore facial balance
  • Reduce or remove a double chin
  • Tighten and reposition the underlying neck muscles
  • Remove stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise
  • Smooth vertical neck bands for a more refined profile

Patients often describe their results as natural-looking, elegant, and long-lasting.

Had a breast reduction done by Dr Adrian Lee. Amazing surgeon - very kind, explains things well and paid close attention to detail. The staff in the office are very kind too. I am very impressed with how the healing has gone - back pain disappeared and with how thorough he is as a surgeon I believe that’s what helped the recovery process. Would recommend him and the office to anyone. :)

Dr. Oxley has done two procedures removing cancer for me. The first visit I had with him was in the surgery suite. He was professional, punctual and had just the right amount of humour for what was a stressful time for me. The follow up visit was on time and I was booked for a second surgery. The second surgery was again, punctual and professional with a touch of humour. I am in the process of booking a follow up to my latest surgery now. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Oxley again.

My highest recommendation for an outstanding doctor and person: Dr. Rizwan Mian. Dr. Mian has surgically removed cancer from my skin a number of times in recent years - all basal-cell carcinoma. He has always been the ultimate professional but with a kind and gentle manner that calms any anxiety a patient might be feeling. And when my most recently removed skin tested positive for melanoma I was anxious indeed! This time it was a spot on my cheek that would require a large amount of tissue removal, a biopsy of the closest lymph node, and skin grafting, all done under general anesthesia. But I need not have worried. Dr. Mian was reassuring and amazingly skillful, the surgery was successful, the melanoma contained, and the complicated skin graft has healed so well that the incision on my face is already starting to disappear. Thank you, Dr. Mian!

Can’t recommend Dr Genoway enough! I was looking for a reconstructive surgeon for 5 years, had several consultations with other doctors. As soon as I met Dr Genoway, I knew I found my doctor. She is knowledgeable, experienced, kind and caring. Dr Genoway listened to all of my concerns, gave me honest medical opinion, including to comeback in a few years as I am too young for a particular procedures. I felt comfortable and not rushed or pressured. Most importantly I felt safe and in good hands. Ended up having my postpartum reconstruction and 2 other procedures (long time dream) in one go. Recovery was fast considering the extent of the procedures. I didn’t need the prescribed pain medication at all. She just has this “light hand”. Most importantly, the results are better than expected! Natural looking, better version of me, but still me. I feel more confident and much happier in my own skin.

I was a novice to surgery and the staff here were amazing - very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lee was very calm and knowledgeable and answered my questions. Breast reduction surgery was scary to me but I have zero regrets. Barely any pain or discomfort after surgery and any back pain I had before is now gone. I walk straighter and clothes fit better. My self esteem has improved. Would recommend this office and the actual surgery to anyone considering it. It’s a game changer.

I am a breast cancer survivor. After my reconstruction surgery failed I was referred to Dr Imran Ratanshi. His kind demeanor and great sense of humor put me at ease immediately. I was in a very dark place emotionally due to the appearance of my body. Dr. Ratanshi preformed a deep inferior epigastric perforator surgery and it was a complete success. I believe Dr Ratanshi saved my life! A very skilled surgeon and a wonderful man.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you:

  • Have sagging or drooping skin beneath the chin or along the jawline
  • Notice banding or visible muscle laxity in the neck
  • Want to correct fullness or a “turkey neck” appearance
  • Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook

If your primary concern is excess fat beneath the chin without loose skin, neck liposuction alone may provide the definition you’re seeking. However, if skin laxity or muscle banding is present, a neck lift, sometimes combined with liposuction, will deliver the best results.

Your Consultation Experience

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Surrey clinic. During this appointment, your plastic surgeon will listen to your concerns, examine the contours of your neck and jawline, and discuss your desired outcome. 

Together, you’ll review all available options: from isolated neck rejuvenation to combination treatments like a facelift or fat grafting. We’ll walk you through every step of the process, including incision placement, anesthesia, and recovery expectations, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

The Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift is performed under general anesthesia as a day surgery, typically lasting between three and four hours. The procedure begins with carefully placed incisions, usually starting just in front of the earlobe and curving discreetly behind the ear into the hairline.

In some cases, a small incision under the chin is made to address deeper tissue tightening or liposuction. Through these incisions, your surgeon removes excess skin, repositions underlying muscles, and contours fat for a smoother, more youthful neck profile.

When necessary, neck liposuction is performed simultaneously to refine the angle beneath the chin and enhance definition. The skin is then gently redraped, trimmed, and secured to reveal a naturally contoured neckline.

Preparing for Surgery

Prior to surgery, you’ll have a pre-operative visit to review your health history and discuss what to expect before and after your procedure. You may be asked to complete bloodwork or meet with an anesthesiologist for clearance.

Two weeks before surgery, you’ll need to stop taking blood thinners, certain pain medications, and herbal supplements such as ginkgo biloba, St. John’s Wort, fish oil, flaxseed oil, and vitamin E, as these can increase bleeding risk. Smokers must quit before surgery, as smoking impairs healing and increases the risk of complications.

Recovery and Results

Patients return home the same day as their procedure. Mild discomfort during the first 48 hours is common and can be well managed with prescribed medication. Most patients are able to shower and wash their hair within 24 to 48 hours.

Swelling and bruising typically peak during the first week and gradually improve over the following weeks. A supportive dressing or compression garment is worn initially to reduce swelling and help the skin adapt to its new contours.

Most patients resume light activities within two weeks and return to work within three to four weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure. Final results continue to refine over the following six to twelve months as swelling resolves and scars mature.

Background media

Safety and Risks

As with all surgical procedures, risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and delayed healing. Specific to neck lift surgery, rare complications may include asymmetry, temporary numbness, or contour irregularities. Your surgeon will review all potential risks and discuss strategies to minimize them during your consultation.
