Face & Neck Lift
A face and neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of ageing in the face and neck by tightening sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles and improving overall facial contours. This treatment aims to restore a more refreshed and youthful appearance by addressing concerns such as deep creases, jowls and loose skin around the neck and jawline. Face and neck lift procedures are carefully tailored to each individual, with the goal of enhancing natural features while maintaining balanced and natural-looking results.
Tailored Face and Neck Lift Options
A range of face lift and neck lift procedures may be recommended depending on your individual concerns and desired outcomes. Incisions are typically positioned in discreet areas such as along the hairline or around the ears to help minimise visible scarring. While some scarring is an expected part of surgery, these marks generally fade over time as healing progresses. Your surgeon will provide advice on scar care and healing to help achieve the best possible outcome.
Full Face Lift
A full face lift targets multiple areas of the face, including the cheeks, jawline and mid-face, to address more advanced signs of ageing. It is often combined with a neck lift to achieve a smoother and more balanced overall result.
Mini Face Lift
A mini face lift focuses on mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline. This procedure is generally less extensive than a full face lift and may involve a shorter recovery period. It is often suitable for individuals seeking subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)
A neck lift specifically addresses loose skin, excess fat and muscle banding in the neck area. This procedure can be performed on its own or alongside a face lift to improve the contour of the jawline and neck.
What to Expect
Your treatment journey begins with a detailed consultation with a qualified surgeon to assess your concerns and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. During this appointment, your facial structure, skin condition and medical history will be carefully reviewed.
A personalised treatment plan will then be created, outlining the recommended procedure and expected outcomes. Before surgery, you will receive clear guidance on how to prepare and what to expect during recovery. Following treatment, our clinical team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and arrange follow-up appointments to support your healing process.

Recovery and Aftercare
Aftercare and Recovery
Recovery following a face or neck lift varies depending on the type of procedure performed and individual healing responses. Initial healing typically takes around one to two weeks, during which swelling and bruising are common but this will gradually improve.
A supportive garment or bandage may be recommended to help minimise swelling and to provide gentle support to the treated areas during the early stages of recovery. Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within 10 to 14 days, although more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
Your surgeon will provide personalised aftercare guidance, including instructions on wound care, activity levels and follow-up visits.
