The skin on the neck is especially susceptible to the ageing process and tends to lose elasticity at an early stage. A slack neck can influence the entire appearance and make the transition to the face look less defined. At the Kuzbari Centre we offer you a targeted solution for slack skin on the neck – the neck lift. Univ. Doz. Dr. Rafic Kuzbari, an experienced specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, carries out this operation with the highest precision in order to help you to a firm, elegant neck contour.

Why does the skin on the neck slacken?

With increasing age the skin loses its elasticity, and the tissue beneath it begins to slacken. Since the neck has a thinner skin structure, it is especially susceptible to this process. External influences such as UV radiation, lifestyle and genetic factors also contribute to the formation of wrinkles and excess skin on the neck. A neck lift can help to tighten this area lastingly and to restore a defined contour.

Treatment options at the Kuzbari Centre:
Neck lift

The neck lift is a surgical method in which excess skin and slackened tissue on the neck are removed or tightened in order to achieve a smooth, youthful neck contour. Univ. Doz. Dr. Rafic Kuzbari, who carries out exclusively the neck lift and the facelift, works with the most modern techniques in order to guarantee an aesthetic, natural tightening. The aim of the procedure is to restore the harmonious contour of the neck without changing the natural appearance.

Course of the treatment

1. Consultation: in a detailed consultation Dr. Kuzbari analyses your neck area and discusses your individual wishes and expectations. You receive a detailed explanation of the neck lift, of the procedure and of the results to be expected. The aim is to achieve a result that suits your face and neck and gives you a youthful, defined contour.
2. Operation: the procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia and takes about 2-4 hours. Dr. Kuzbari makes precise incisions behind the ears or under the chin, so that the scars are virtually invisible after healing. Excess skin and slackened tissue are removed or repositioned in order to achieve a smooth and firm neck contour. The operation takes place in our ultra-modern operating theatres, which meet the highest safety standards.
3. Aftercare: after the operation you remain in our clinic for the first night for observation. Slight swelling and bruising are normal in the first few days and subside after about two weeks. In the first weeks you should avoid physical exertion and pay attention to the healing processes. Regular follow-up checks at the Kuzbari Centre make sure that healing proceeds optimally and that you are satisfied with the result.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the result of a neck lift last?

A neck lift offers long-lasting results which mostly persist for many years. Natural skin ageing does continue, but the neck area remains visibly rejuvenated and tightened.

Is the operation painful?

Thanks to the general anaesthesia you feel no pain during the operation. After the procedure slight feelings of tightness may occur, which subside quickly, however.

When am I socially presentable again after a neck lift?

After about two weeks the swelling and bruising have mostly subsided to such an extent that you are socially presentable again. The final result shows after a few months.
