# Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery addresses loose skin under the jawline, vertical platysma bands, submental fullness, and the loss of a clear angle between the chin and neck. Several different procedures sit under the "neck lift" umbrella. The right one depends on which anatomical layer is driving the concern, whether that is the skin, superficial fat, the platysma muscle, deeper structures beneath the platysma, or the projection of the chin itself. The goal of the consultation is to identify which of these layers needs to be addressed before a procedure is recommended.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) practising from Bondi Junction and Manly in Sydney. He performs platysmaplasty, deep neck lift, direct neck lift, neck liposuction, and combined facelift and neck lift procedures, with surgery carried out at accredited Sydney private hospitals. This page compares the available options, explains how each one is selected, and outlines what to expect before, during and after surgery.
