# Direct Neck Lift Brisbane

Some patients have a specific, localised concern in the central neck — fullness under the chin, a soft ridge that does not respond to weight change, mild central platysma activity — without the broader skin laxity or jowling that would call for a full neck lift or facelift. In selected cases a direct neck lift may be considered: a focused procedure performed through an incision under the chin, without the peri-auricular incisions of standard neck lift surgery. Patient selection matters more for this operation than for most, because the procedure deliberately trades broader correction for limited access.

[Dr Scott J Turner](https://drturner.com.au/resources/dr-scott-turner-sydney-plastic-surgeon/) is a Sydney Specialist Plastic Surgeon who consults in Brisbane at Herstellen Clinic, Spring Hill, for direct neck lift assessment and surgical planning. All surgery is performed at accredited private hospitals in Sydney with Dr Turner's established anaesthetic and theatre team, and routine post-operative follow-up is coordinated locally in Brisbane.
