Neck Lift in London Ontario
Yazdani Aesthetics offers neck lift surgery in London, Ontario for patients who want to address loose neck skin, jowls, double chin appearance, or visible aging along the jawline and upper neck. A neck lift can help tighten soft tissues, remove excess skin, and improve the contour between the chin, neck, and lower face.
A neck lift is similar to a face lift but is focused on rejuvenating your neck and the lower part of your cheeks. Loose skin beneath your jaw will give you the appearance of having a double chin, even if you are of a healthy weight. Poor muscle tone in the lower part of your face will cause your cheeks to hang down from the sides of your lower jaw. These facial areas, called jowls, are one of the most visible signs of an aging face.

BOOK CONSULTATIONHow a Neck Lift Works
A neck lift will remove your jowls by repositioning your tissues. It will correct your double chin by removing loose neck skin and tightening the soft tissues in the upper neck. If only moderate amounts of fat have collected below your jaw, and if your muscles there are strong, liposuction can restore a more youthful neck contour. Patients who have weaker muscles may need an incision below their chin to tighten the neck muscle and sometimes a separate incision behind the ear to remove excess skin.
As with a face lift, you will need to prepare for a two-week recovery period after neck lift surgery, but this procedure will bring you results that you would not be able to achieve in any other way.*
*Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?
An ideal candidate for a neck lift is an individual who is physically healthy, maintains a stable weight, and is experiencing prominent signs of aging below the jawline. Many candidates notice that loose skin gives them the appearance of a double chin even if they are at a healthy weight, or that poor muscle tone in the lower face causes their cheeks to sag into jowls.
For safety and proper wound healing, candidates must be non-smokers or willing to completely stop smoking well in advance of the surgery. Having a clear, realistic understanding of the procedure’s goals—focusing on structural sharpening and comfort—is essential. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin elasticity, muscle laxity, and fat distribution to determine if a surgical neck lift is the right approach for you.
Can a Neck Lift Tighten Neck Muscles?
Yes. A key component of a comprehensive neck lift involves addressing the underlying platysma muscle, which often weakens, stretches, or separates into vertical bands as we age. If your underlying muscles are weak, our plastic surgeons will make a discreet incision right below your chin to physically tighten the neck muscle bands together, securing them back into a youthful, firm position. This structural adjustment acts like an internal support system, ensuring your new neck profile remains crisp and well-defined for years to come.
What Is Neck Lift Recovery Like?
Following your procedure at Yazdani Aesthetics, you will need to prepare for a standard two-week recovery period. Most patients feel comfortable returning to a light office or desk job with makeup within several days as initial healing progresses. However, more strenuous physical activity, exercise, and heavy lifting must be strictly avoided for 1 to 2 weeks to prevent complications and allow tissues to stabilize.
Temporary swelling, mild bruising, and localized discomfort are completely normal during the early days. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive, downloadable post-surgery care guide to walk you through managing your recovery comfortably. Incision lines placed beneath the chin and behind the ears will gradually mature, fade, and soften over the subsequent months.

Neck Lift FAQs
What does a neck lift treat?
A neck lift treats loose skin beneath the jawline, a double chin caused by hanging tissue, poor muscle tone in the upper neck, vertical neck bands, and jowls that sag down from the sides of the lower jaw.
What is the difference between a neck lift and facelift?
A neck lift focuses exclusively on the area below the jawline and the lower part of the cheeks, tightening loose neck skin and muscles. A facelift rejuvenates the entire lower two-thirds of the face, lifting sagging mid-face tissues and deep folds alongside the jawline. Our surgeons often combine them for a seamless, uniform profile.
What is the difference between a neck lift and neck liposuction?
A neck lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that repositions muscle tissue and removes extra hanging skin. Neck liposuction is a less invasive technique that strictly removes isolated pockets of excess fat beneath the jawline; it is only recommended if the patient’s neck muscles are already strong and the skin has good natural elasticity to snap back into place.
Can a neck lift improve jowls?
Yes. Poor muscle tone and shifting tissue cause the cheeks to hang down from the sides of the lower jaw, creating visible jowls. A neck lift removes jowls by precisely repositioning these deeper facial tissues back to their natural, higher baseline.
Can a neck lift improve a double chin?
Yes. A neck lift directly corrects a double chin by extracting pocketed fat, tightening loose soft tissues in the upper neck, and surgically removing the redundant, hanging skin envelope.
How long does neck lift surgery take?
A standard neck lift surgery typically takes between 3 to 5 hours to complete, depending on individual anatomy and the extent of tissue modification required.
What type of anesthesia is used for a neck lift?
For your total safety, comfort, and peace of mind, neck lift procedures at our facility are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with deep sedation.
Is a neck lift outpatient?
Yes. A neck lift is performed as an outpatient surgery, meaning you will be cleared to return home on the very same day as your procedure to recover in your own home environment.
How long is neck lift recovery?
Most patients can return to work with makeup within a few days to a week. You must wait 1 to 2 weeks before resuming any strenuous physical activity or exercise. It takes approximately 1 to 2 months for all residual post-operative swelling to completely resolve, revealing your final, crisp jawline contour.
How much does a neck lift cost in London, Ontario?
The total financial investment for a neck lift depends on your unique anatomy, muscle strength, and whether the procedure is combined with liposuction or a facelift. In Ontario, private cosmetic neck lift surgery typically ranges from $8,500 to $13,000+. The Yazdani Aesthetics team provides a transparent, customized pricing outline during your detailed personal consultation.
