Younger overall look, sharper contours
Neck lift at Saint James Clinic
A neck lift helps to restore the natural harmony of the face and neck, eliminating the tired look caused by sagging skin and sagging jowls. The procedure creates a more youthful, firmer neck contour while preserving the natural proportions and character of the face.
Sharper chin line, more youthful appearance
Invisible scars, discreet intervention
Experienced surgeons, modern surgical technology
When the neck loses its youthful lines
Over the years, the skin of the neck loses its elasticity, the contours become blurred and the skin can become distracting. Sagging skin, folds and wrinkles can be disturbing for many people, as the neck is one of the most revealing areas next to the face.
At some point, creams and cosmetic treatments no longer make a visible difference.
Natural effect, firm contours
A neck lift restores the natural transition between the face and neck, eliminating the appearance of a chin and sagging skin. The result is a firmer, more youthful overall appearance that blends harmoniously with the character of the face, all subtly, without exaggeration, for years to come.

Process
Step by step process of the necklift
Every step of the neck lift is planned in advance and under medical supervision. Our aim is to ensure that the patient feels safe and relaxed from the consultation to the end of the healing process.
01 / Consultation and planning
At the first appointment, our surgeon will assess the condition of the neck and jawline, discuss the patient's goals and possible solutions. During the detailed planning process, we will also take into account skin tightness, the amount of fat tissue and the condition of the muscles. Funding issues can be discussed with our patient coordinator, so everything will be transparent before surgery.
02 / Preparation and medical examinations
Before the operation, a full medical examination is carried out (laboratory, ECG, internal medicine). It is important to avoid smoking, alcohol and blood thinners to ensure a quick and safe recovery. All details are agreed in advance by the patient coordinator, so that everything runs smoothly on the day of the operation.
03 / Intervention with our experienced surgeons
The neck lift is done under general anaesthetic and usually takes two to three hours. The surgeon makes fine incisions behind the ear and under the chin, then tightens the neck muscles and removes excess skin. The aim of the procedure is to restore definition and youth to the contours of the face and neck. After the surgery, our patient rests in a private, premium room under medical supervision.
04 / Recovery, control, aftercare
After the operation, the patient is followed by a day of observation in the clinic and then can continue recovery at home. Wearing a compression strap will help to reduce swelling and tighten the neck. The first check-up is usually 5-7 days after the operation and the suture removal 10-12 days later. The final result is seen within 2-3 months, when the tissues have fully regenerated.

Reviews
A younger look, more confident everyday
For many of our patients, a neck lift has brought not only a change in appearance, but also self-confidence and recognition.
Misconceptions about the neck lift
There is a lot of misunderstanding and unnecessary worry around the neck lift. We have collected the most important ones.
„You can definitely see the scars after the neck lift.”
The incisions are hidden behind the ear and under the chin, so they are almost invisible after healing. Most patients can't see anything of the scar after a year.
„It will be difficult to move the neck after the operation.”
Healing is quick, after a few days you can move your head gently. The compression strap is only temporary and helps the tissues to regenerate.
„The neck lift is too drastic, it has an unnatural effect.”
At the Saint James Clinic, proportionality and natural results are our priority. We restore the harmony of the face and neck in a subtle, measured way, not altering but refreshing the features.
„Liposuction is the same as abdominoplasty.”
The two procedures serve different purposes. Liposuction is used to reduce fat deposits, while abdominoplasty is used to repair stretched skin and muscle. If necessary, the two procedures can be combined for best results.
„The results of a tummy tuck are not permanent.”
By maintaining the right lifestyle and weight, the results will last for many years. A firmer abdominal wall and stronger muscles will not only give you aesthetic but also lasting functional improvements.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about the neck lift
A neck lift is an intervention tailored to the individual. The following questions will help you better understand the procedure, the healing process and the results that can be achieved.
How painful is a neck lift?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the surgery. There may be some slight tightness or swelling during the first few days of recovery, but this will subside within a few days.
Will the scars remain visible?
The incisions are behind the ear and under the chin, so they heal in hidden areas. Over time, the scars fade and are barely noticeable in most patients.
How long will the recovery take?
Most patients return to their daily activities within 1-2 weeks. Full regeneration takes 2-3 months, when the tissues are fully relaxed and the final shape is established.
How long does the result of a neck lift take?
The effect lasts for several years. The ageing process continues, of course, but the results of the procedure provide a more youthful, firmer appearance in the long term.
Can it be combined with other surgery or treatment?
Yes, neck lifts are often done in conjunction with facelift or liposuction, so the result can be more harmonious and long-lasting. Details of the options are available at the consultation.
When can I return to work?
You can usually return to light office work after 7-10 days and to physical work after 3-4 weeks. Rest and wearing a compression strap is important for the first few days.
Can the toca return after surgery?
The aim of the procedure is to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the muscles. The skin can only return if there is a significant weight loss or lifestyle change.
When will the final result be visible?
The swelling gradually reduces and after 6-8 weeks, a more youthful contour is clearly visible. The final result is seen after 3 months, when the tissues have fully regenerated.
