Neck Procedures with Dr Scott J Turner

A Neck Lift surgically rejuvenates the neck and jawline by addressing excess skin, muscle laxity, and fat accumulation that occur with age. Dr. Scott J. Turner performs this procedure at his Sydney clinics in Manly and Double Bay to effectively correct “turkey neck,” prominent muscle bands, double chin, and a blurred jawline. He customises each neck lift to the patient’s specific anatomy, combining techniques such as muscle tightening, skin removal, and strategic liposuction when needed. While sometimes performed alone for patients primarily concerned with neck ageing, it is often combined with facelift surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation. The result is a smoother, more defined neck-jaw transition that appears natural and harmonious with the patient’s overall appearance.

Deep Neck Lift

A Deep Neck Lift is designed to address more significant signs of ageing in the neck. This procedure specifically targets issues such as visible vertical neck bands (caused by the underlying platysma muscles), moderate to severe sagging skin, and a loss of the sharp angle defining the jawline. The surgery involves tightening and repositioning the platysma muscles, removing excess, redundant skin, and potentially reshaping or removing stubborn fat deposits. Incisions are typically placed inconspicuously around the ears, similar to a facelift, and often include a small incision hidden beneath the chin to allow direct access to the neck muscles and fat. Unlike neck liposuction, which primarily targets fat, the Deep Neck Lift addresses the crucial elements of muscle laxity and excess skin, offering a more comprehensive structural rejuvenation of the neck.

Neck Liposuction

Neck Liposuction is a targeted procedure focused specifically on the removal of localized excess fat deposits beneath the chin (often referred to as a “double chin”) and along the contours of the jawline. It is often an ideal solution for younger individuals, typically in their 20s to 30s, who retain good skin elasticity. Good elasticity is important because the skin needs to naturally retract and conform smoothly to the new, slimmer neck contour after the underlying fat has been removed. Neck liposuction can yield improvements in neck contour and jawline definition with generally less downtime and recovery compared to a full neck lift procedure.

Chin Implants

Chin implants (mentoplasty) create better facial balance by enhancing a recessed or weak chin, providing improved definition to the jawline and neck contour. Dr Turner  carefully selects and positioning medical-grade implants that complement each patient’s unique facial proportions. Often performed in conjunction with neck lift surgery or rhinoplasty, chin augmentation can improve the profile by creating a more harmonious relationship between the chin, neck, and nose. The procedure involves placing a customised implant through a discreet incision either inside the mouth or beneath the chin, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results. For patients concerned about a poorly defined jawline or the appearance of a “double chin,” a well-placed chin implant can create the illusion of a longer, more sculpted neck while enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
