A neck lift (also called a neck lift) can help you effectively correct signs of aging in the neck and chin area and give your appearance a new lease of life. Whether you want to remove a double chin, improve neck firmness, or simply smooth neck wrinkles – we offer the ideal solution. A neck lift is usually combined with a facelift, but an isolated neck lift is particularly beneficial for younger patients with isolated fat deposits on the neck or a double chin.

During your consultation, we will address your individual wishes and goals to create the optimal treatment plan. We will answer all your questions and explain each step in detail. Schedule your appointment. or under T +41 44 397 38 60.
Before a neck lift, it's important to prepare thoroughly for the surgery. This includes avoiding certain medications like blood thinners and reducing smoking for about two weeks prior to the procedure, as both can negatively impact the healing process. We also recommend that you plan to have someone with you on the day of surgery to ensure you have a good recovery during the first few hours after the procedure.
A neck lift is performed either minimally invasively or with a small incision, depending on which technique is best for you. With the minimally invasive method, small incisions are made and the fat is removed, allowing the skin to tighten. With the surgical method, an incision is made under the chin, and sometimes behind the ears, to achieve optimal contouring. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, and you can go home the same day.
You will experience slight tenderness for the first few days after surgery, and you may experience some swelling and minor bruising. These will disappear after a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least a week to minimize swelling. After treatment, you will receive clear care instructions to promote healing and achieve the best possible results.
As with any surgical procedure, neck lift surgery carries small risks, but experienced specialists can minimize these risks. Possible complications include infection and swelling. However, we take the time to inform you of all potential risks and ensure you receive the best possible care.
The cost of a neck lift depends on the complexity of the treatment. We would be happy to discuss this during a consultation.

Prof. Dr. Fansa is truly exceptional. He is not only an excellent breast surgeon who also understands how to communicate appropriately. He also listens carefully and attends to patients' needs with the utmost patience and compassion. He is supported in this by a uniquely warm team of staff. Thanks to all of this, I receive the optimal treatment for me and my health situation, not only in terms of the treatment directly provided by Prof. Dr. Fansa, but also in terms of supportive treatments and follow-up therapies from other disciplines. What a privilege...
