Neck lift

Many patients ask about "thread lifts" (non-surgical thread neck lifts), "laser neck lifts", "Renuvion neck lifts" or injection treatments such as the so-called "Nefertiti neck lift". These non-surgical alternatives can provide some skin tightening or temporarily reduce muscle activity. However, if you have significant excess skin or heavy, sagging neck muscles, none of these methods can provide the same extensive and lasting anatomical restructuring as an actual plastic surgery procedure.

When it comes to neck lift scars, the incisions are made very discreetly. Usually, an incision is made just below the chin, in a natural crease, along with incisions that run around the earlobe and up to the hairline behind the ear. This positioning ensures that the scars are well concealed. Initially, they are red and may feel firm, but with the right aftercare and taping, they gradually fade over the first six to twelve months and become very difficult to detect for the vast majority of patients.

In the vast majority of cases, a full neck lift is performed under general anaesthetic. This ensures that you sleep safely and pain-free whilst the surgeon works with the utmost precision on the deeper tissues of the neck. For certain minor procedures, such as isolated and limited liposuction under the chin, local anaesthesia combined with sedatives may sometimes be an option, but for muscle tightening, general anaesthesia is almost always recommended.

Yes, it is very common to combine a neck lift, jawline liposuction and chin liposuction in a single procedure. If there are localised pockets of fat under the chin (double chin) that cannot be eliminated through exercise, a gentle mini-liposuction can be performed first. The surgeon then tightens the muscles and removes the skin. This combination often results in the most defined and balanced profile of the jawline.

A surgical neck lift does not slow down your body’s natural ageing process, but it creates a firmer and tighter underlying structure. Many patients find that the anatomical results last for 10 to 15 years, depending on genetics, skin quality and lifestyle (such as sun exposure and smoking). Although the skin will eventually begin to lose elasticity again, the contour of the neck will, anatomically speaking, appear firmer than it would have done without the procedure.

It is wise to seek information and hear other people’s perspectives when considering surgery. You can often find patient stories online if you search for “has anyone had a neck lift?” or “neck lift blog”. Bear in mind, however, that other people’s experiences of pain and healing are subjective and may not necessarily reflect how your own body will react. On our website, we publish reviews from verified patients via Trustpilot, which can provide a reliable and accurate picture of the care we provide.

The fact that neck lift prices in Stockholm and general neck lift prices vary between different clinics is down to several factors. These include the specific technique used, the duration of the procedure, whether an overnight stay is required, as well as the surgeon’s level of expertise and the clinic’s safety standards. The price of a neck lift can therefore vary, but with us you always receive a comprehensive quote that includes everything from the consultation to anaesthesia and a year of follow-up care.
