Neck Lift at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Enhance Your Neck Contour
At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our neck lift (lower rhytidectomy) restores a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck by addressing loose skin, excess fat, and visible muscle banding. Combining precise surgical technique with a personalized plan, our board-certified plastic surgeons deliver natural, long-lasting neck rejuvenation that improves facial harmony and confidence.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
- Restore a defined jawline: Removes sagging skin and refines the jaw-neck transition for a cleaner profile.
- Reduce excess fat: Liposuction can remove submental fullness (double chin) to improve neck contour.
- Correct platysmal banding: Tightening or repositioning the platysma muscle smooths vertical neck cords and reduces neck laxity.
- Improve overall facial harmony: A balanced neck and jawline enhance the youthful appearance of the entire face.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Good candidates are healthy adults with moderate neck laxity, excess neck fat, or visible neck bands who have realistic expectations. A consultation at Elyzee Hospital evaluates skin quality, neck anatomy, and overall health to recommend the optimal surgical plan.
Consultation and Preparation
During your private consultation, the surgeon will review your medical history, examine the neck and jawline, discuss goals, and explain techniques and risks. Pre-operative instructions may include stopping blood-thinning medications, avoiding smoking, and following fasting guidelines before anesthesia.
What Happens During the Procedure
- Anesthesia: Performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation for comfort and safety.
- Incision placement: Small, discreet incisions are usually placed under the chin, behind the ears, or both — positioned to minimize visible scarring.
- Fat removal and contouring: Liposuction is used when needed to remove excess subcutaneous fat.
- Muscle tightening: The platysma muscle is tightened or partially sutured (platysmaplasty) to correct vertical bands and support neck contour.
- Skin redraping and closure: Excess skin is trimmed and incisions are closed with fine sutures for optimal healing.
After the Procedure & Recovery
After surgery at Elyzee Hospital, patients are monitored and receive detailed post-operative instructions. Expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for several days. Common guidance includes wearing a supportive neck garment, taking prescribed medications, avoiding heavy lifting, and attending follow-up visits for wound checks and suture removal.
Recovery Timeline (Typical)
- First week: Rest, limited activity, bandage care; noticeable swelling and bruising.
- 1–2 weeks: Most patients resume light daily activities; sutures may be removed.
- 3–6 weeks: Gradual return to normal exercise and activities as swelling subsides.
Final Results
As healing progresses, the neck will appear smoother, firmer, and more youthful. Results are long-lasting but influenced by aging and lifestyle—protecting skin from sun exposure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help prolong outcomes.
Risks & Considerations
Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, temporary or permanent nerve changes, asymmetry, or delayed wound healing. Your surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will discuss individualized risks and steps to minimize them during the consultation.
