We’re Harrogate’s Deep Plane Neck Lift Specialists

If you want to achieve natural-looking neck rejuvenation with long-lasting results, a deep plane neck lift might be for you. Our team at Kliniken in Harrogate specialises in this advanced procedure, which restores youthful contours and tackles signs of ageing. We want you to look your best again, so read on to learn about deep plane neck lift surgery, its benefits, and whether you may be an ideal candidate for the procedure.

What Is a Deep Plane Neck Lift?

A deep plane neck lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity around the neck. Unlike traditional neck lifts, which primarily focus on repositioning the skin, the deep plane technique involves lifting deeper muscle layers, creating a seamless and more natural-looking neck rejuvenation. This advanced neck lift approach ensures that the results are quickly noticeable and long-lasting. That’s why it’s become a popular choice for anyone hoping to achieve true and effective neck contouring.

Determining if You’re a Candidate for Deep Plane Neck Lift Surgery

It’s important to discuss your needs and desires with an expert cosmetic surgeon. At Kliniken, we provide personalised consultations to explore whether this procedure is right for you. Most of our candidates:

  • Experience noticeable sagging skin, deep folds, or turkey neck
  • Wish to refine and enhance the contours of their neck.
  • Are generally in good health and have realistic expectations for the procedure

Deep Plane Neck Lifts Promise Natural-Looking Results

The deep plane neck lift is a go-to solution for anyone seeking a bold yet natural transformation. Its numerous benefits include:

  • Natural-Looking Results – By targeting underlying muscle layers, this approach avoids the over-pulled or artificial look often associated with traditional lifts.
  • Long-Lasting Improvements – The deep plane technique ensures results that last for years by addressing structural concerns rather than just surface-level issues.
  • Enhanced Definition – Achieve a sleek, refined jawline and a more defined neck contour.
  • Comprehensive Rejuvenation – It effectively tackles multiple signs of ageing, such as sagging, wrinkles, and fat deposits.

The Deep Plane Neck Lift Procedure

A deep plane neck lift involves several steps tailored to suit your individual needs. This procedure is highly intricate and typically includes:

  • Consultation – Your surgeon will evaluate your neck, discuss your goals, and create a customised plan.
  • Anaesthesia – We’ll perform the procedure under sedation or general anaesthesia for your comfort and safety.
  • Surgical Technique – Your surgeon will make small incisions behind your ears and under your chin, allowing them to access and reposition deep muscle layers. We’ll remove excess fat and skin while tightening your muscles to achieve a younger, more sculpted look. The process should take between 90 minutes and two hours.
  • Closure – Finally, we’ll carefully close the incisions to minimise scarring.

Understanding the Deep Plane Neck Lift Recovery Process

The recovery period following deep plane neck lift surgery varies based on the individual, but most of our clients feel the results are well worth the short downtime. Following your expert neck lift procedure, you can expect:

  • Downtime – You should plan for about two weeks of downtime, during which swelling and bruising will gradually subside. We also recommend avoiding showers for 48 hours after surgery.
  • Results – While some initial results will be noticeable, the final outcome becomes visible as healing progresses, often within three to six months.
  • Post-Care – Our team at Kliniken will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to our frequently asked questions

Patients can typically have a neck lift performed and go home the same day.

Patients can have the procedure under local anaesthetic & sedation or can be asleep with a general anaesthetic. 

The incision for a neck lift is directly under the chin to deal with the bands at the front of the neck and the fat, and an incision just under the ear that extends to the groove behind the ear that helps deal with the loose skin.

When patients come into the clinic, our UK-trained plastic surgeon makes a full assessment of the patient. 

This includes any relevant history, including reasons for surgery and a thorough examination of the neck and lower part of the face. 

Part of this process is explaining to the patients what can be done, why, and what to expect, based on each patients’ anatomy and suitability for each type of neck lift.

Patients who either do not have or have never had the angle between the jawline and the neck (cervico-mental angle). 

Colloquially, this may be known as a turkey neck. There may be volume from fat under the chin. 

If there is minimal fat, the ageing process may mean that there is loose skin with bands running across the front of the neck, typically from the chin to the collarbones.  

Some patients may have a genetic predisposition to this (Young people with necks) or most commonly, age-related loosening of the skin.

Patients tend to notice an immediate improvement in the neck both in terms of the area feeling tighter in comparison to how lose it was, and fewer creases in the skin. 

The swelling after surgery occurs for the first 48 hours and after this stage, it improves. 

We see patients one week after surgery to check on the patients and remove any visible stitches. By 2 weeks patients feel brighter and fresher. 

Once safe, patients are let out of the clinic with close follow up arranged to ensure improvements would happen as anticipated.

One alternative to a surgical lip lift is the use of fillers which may be either synthetic which is temporary or use of natural ones such as fat. 

This can provide a method to deal with the lost volume but does not adequately address the increased distance between the base of the nose and lip.
