A well-defined neck and jawline are hallmarks of youth, beauty, and confidence. However, as we age, the skin around the neck begins to lose elasticity, muscles weaken, and fat may accumulate under the chin — resulting in sagging skin, vertical bands, or a “turkey neck.” These signs of aging can make even an otherwise youthful face appear older and less vibrant.
Neck Lift Surgery, medically known as Platysmaplasty, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to tighten loose skin, remove excess fat, and restore the graceful contours of your neck and jawline. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking profile that perfectly complements your facial features.
At One Life Medical Tourism, we connect international patients with India’s leading board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in neck lift surgery. Our partner hospitals and clinics are equipped with world-class facilities and advanced technology, ensuring precision, safety, and natural-looking outcomes — all at an affordable cost.
A neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that targets the visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. It addresses sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat that create an aged or heavy appearance.
The surgery rejuvenates the lower face and neck by:
Removing loose, drooping skin
Tightening the underlying muscles (platysma)
Contouring the jawline for a firmer look
Reducing double chin or fatty deposits
Often combined with a facelift or liposuction, a neck lift delivers a naturally rejuvenated and refined profile, helping you look years younger without appearing “overdone.”
The neck is one of the first areas to show aging. Even if you maintain a youthful face, sagging neck skin or loss of definition can betray your age. A neck lift surgery effectively restores firmness and contour, improving both aesthetics and confidence.
Smoother, tighter neck contour
Elimination of sagging or “turkey neck”
Reduction in jowls and double chin
Defined jawline and youthful profile
Long-lasting rejuvenation results
Patients often choose a neck lift to complement other facial procedures or to rejuvenate the appearance of their lower face without undergoing a full facelift.
Loose or drooping neck skin
Visible muscle bands or cords
Double chin or fatty deposits under the chin
Undefined jawline
Excess skin following weight loss
Desire for a more youthful and refined neck contour
If you relate to any of these concerns, you may be an ideal candidate for a neck lift surgery through One Life Medical Tourism.
There are several techniques available for neck lift surgery, depending on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
This method involves removing excess skin and tightening the neck muscles to smooth out wrinkles and redefine contours. Incisions are typically made around the ears and under the chin, ensuring scars remain well hidden.
For patients with mild to moderate sagging, smaller incisions are used, resulting in quicker recovery and less scarring.
When excess fat is the main concern, liposuction may be performed to remove fat under the chin and along the jawline, creating a sculpted and refined look.
For comprehensive rejuvenation, a neck lift is often performed alongside a facelift to achieve harmony between the neck and face.
Your surgeon will discuss the best approach based on your unique anatomy and expectations.
You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you:
Are in good physical and mental health
Have loose or sagging neck skin
Desire improved jawline definition
Do not have medical conditions that affect healing
Are a non-smoker or willing to quit before surgery
Have realistic expectations about the outcome
Age is not the only factor — neck lift surgery is suitable for both men and women experiencing premature or advanced neck aging.
Your journey with One Life Medical Tourism begins with an in-depth consultation. The surgeon examines your skin condition, muscle tone, and fat distribution while discussing your aesthetic goals. Based on this assessment, a personalized surgical plan is developed.
Neck lift surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the technique and patient preference.
Small, discreet incisions are made behind the ears and possibly under the chin. The surgeon carefully lifts the skin and tightens the underlying platysma muscles.
Excess fat is removed (either surgically or through liposuction), and the skin is redraped smoothly over the newly contoured neck structure.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize visible scarring. A compression dressing may be applied to support healing.
Most procedures take 2–3 hours, and patients are usually discharged the same day or after an overnight stay.
Post-surgery recovery is relatively straightforward, with minimal discomfort. Here’s what to expect:
Days 1–3: Mild swelling and bruising, managed with prescribed medication. Keep your head elevated and avoid turning it sharply.
Week 1: Stitches are removed if not dissolvable. Most patients resume daily activities within 10 days.
Weeks 2–4: Swelling subsides significantly, and results become visible. Light exercise can resume after two weeks.
Month 2: Final results reveal a beautifully contoured neck and jawline.
Aftercare Tips:
Sleep with your head elevated for at least a week.
Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting.
Protect the incision area from sun exposure.
Maintain a healthy diet and hydration to promote healing.
The results of neck lift surgery are both immediate and long-lasting. Once swelling subsides, patients notice:
A firmer, smoother neck contour
Reduced sagging and visible muscle bands
A refined jawline and youthful neck angle
Natural, balanced facial proportions
With proper care, results can last 10–15 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle factors.
When performed by skilled plastic surgeons, neck lift surgery is extremely safe. However, as with any surgical procedure, minimal risks may include:
Temporary swelling or numbness
Bruising
Minor asymmetry
Scarring (well hidden and fades with time)
