When the soft tissue of the neck slackens, a steeply falling neck often develops, possibly with the formation of crinkle lines. This is best seen in profile: the neck falls away steeply from the chin and the chin-jaw line is lost. Slackened soft tissue of the neck often goes together with a local fat deposit that leads to the formation of a double chin. The distress is usually considerable. A neck lift combined with a liposuction considerably improves the contour of the neck. Depending on the indication and your wishes, this procedure is also part of the facelift.

A combination of liposuction and internal tightening is often necessary – either with argon plasma technology or by gathering the SMAS, the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system. The access points lie below the ears and beneath the chin. The scars are very inconspicuous and the effect lasts a long time. That said: an operated region also remains subject to the ageing process.
The fat of the neck is reduced by liposuction through three small access points. The access points are 5 mm in size and lie beneath the chin and below each ear. Afterwards argon plasma technology tightens the skin and the underlying soft tissue through a heat effect.
A double chin and a crêpey neck often occur at the same time. While the double chin can be tightened well with argon plasma after liposuction, the effect on crinkle lines is present but does not make them disappear completely. Depending on the extent, crinkle lines can be corrected surgically with a combined neck and face lift. Where they are very pronounced, only a thread lift or direct removal will help, which means an additional scar on the front of the neck.
The cost depends on the extent of the treatment and can vary individually. Treatment costs start at about €5,000.
We carry out the neck lift both under local anaesthesia and under general anaesthesia. It depends entirely on your preference.
As early as the preparatory consultation with advice, detailed information about risks and an examination, we plan the operation. Our aim is to respond to your wishes as well as possible before the procedure.
On the day of the operation, which we carry out in our own rooms in Oldenburg, you are scheduled in such a way that long waiting times are avoided. I will then go through what we discussed with you once more and repeat the markings. Our nursing and anaesthesia team will look after you. Whether the operation is performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis is something we have agreed together beforehand. If monitoring is necessary, a nurse looks after you throughout the night and I am close by. After the final ward round the following day you can usually leave the clinic.
The advantage is obvious: the contour of the neck is considerably better defined again. Sport and weight loss can influence the neck contour positively, but the internal gathering of the SMAS is the key to a good result. After the procedure small bruises and areas of hardening from the internal gathering often occur; these loosen with self-massage within 4 to 6 months. As with every operation, infections and wound healing problems are possible.
Whether minimally invasive with suction and argon plasma or as a neck lift with SMAS gathering: which will give the better result in your case is shown by the examination. Arrange a consultation appointment at our practice clinic.
When the soft tissue of the neck slackens: in profile the neck falls away steeply, the chin-jaw line is lost, and a local fat deposit often adds a double chin. The distress is usually considerable because the profile changes noticeably.
The fat of the neck is suctioned through three access points only 5 mm in size – beneath the chin and below each ear. Afterwards argon plasma technology tightens the skin and the underlying soft tissue through a heat effect.
The SMAS is the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system, a stable layer of tissue. Gathering it inwards is the key to a good, lasting result – more so than any treatment of the skin alone.
Partly. A double chin and a crêpey neck often occur together. The argon plasma effect also works on crinkle lines but does not make them disappear entirely. Depending on the extent, a combined neck and face lift helps; where it is very pronounced, a thread lift or direct removal remain, which means an additional scar on the front of the neck.
The cost depends on the extent of the treatment and therefore varies individually. It starts at about €5,000. After the first consultation you receive a fixed cost estimate.
We carry out the neck lift both under local anaesthesia and under general anaesthesia – that depends entirely on your preference and on the planned extent.
After the procedure small bruises and areas of hardening from the internal gathering often occur. These loosen with self-massage within 4 to 6 months.
A special bandage supports the result: permanently for 2 weeks, then for a further 4 weeks at night. From 7 days we recommend massaging yourself in order to loosen areas of hardening. We remove the stitches after 14 days, showering is possible from the 2nd day and sport after 6 weeks.
