A neck lift is a set of procedures chosen to enhance the appearance of the neck — removing excess skin, removing or altering the neck muscles, liposuction to remove excess fat, and, where helpful, treating fullness or visible “bands.”
It addresses the concerns patients describe most often: a “turkey wattle” neck, excess fat under the chin, and loose skin along the jawline. You should be in good health, and it helps to come to your consultation with a clear idea of what you'd like to change.

Yes — a neck lift is frequently performed together with a facelift, since the two address neighbouring areas and give a more balanced overall result.
