Neck Lift in Dubai: Surgical Options, Recovery & Expected Results

The neck plays a basic role in shaping your overall look, but it's often the first place to reveal the signs of aging. Over time, genetics, sun damage, and lifestyle choices cause loose skin, sagging muscles, extra fat under the chin, and visible neck bands. These changes disrupt the balance between your face and neck, making them look older than they are.

The neck plays a basic role in shaping your overall look, but it's often the first place to reveal the signs of aging.

These changes disrupt the balance between your face and neck, making them look older than they are.

Today, Dubai stands among the top international destinations for neck and facial rejuvenation. A neck lift in Dubai (also referred to as platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps to tighten neck muscles and contours—bringing back harmony and confidence to your profile.

At Seline Clinic Dubai, our surgeons provide the latest, minimally invasive methods for achieving this definition and confidence.

A neck lift procedure in Dubai addresses:

  • Loose or sagging neck skin ("turkey neck")
  • Chin fat (double chin)
  • Vertical bands of platysma muscle
  • Weak jaw definition

Options for a surgical neck lift


1. Traditional Neck Lift: Cuts are made under the chin and behind the ears. It eliminates extra skin and tightens the muscle. This treatment is an ideal option for loose, sagging skin.

2. Mini Neck Lift: This surgery is shorter and has fewer cuts, and it takes less time to heal. It works for mild to moderate sagging.

3. Platysmaplasty: It works on the platysma muscle and vertical bands and is usually done with a facelift.


Expert insights

According to the study conducted by PubMed, platysmaplasty improves the shape of the neck and gets rid of vertical neck bands.


4. Neck Liposuction: Eliminates excessive submental fat under the chin. Best suited for patients with good skin elasticity.

5. Combined Neck & Jawline Lift: This surgery shapes both the neck and jawline at the same time, giving you a more rejuvenated look.


Apart from it, most of the patients prefer nonsurgical lifting; therefore, at Seline we provide multiple solutions to them by offering


  • Radiofrequency treatment to stimulate the collagen while ensuring mild lifting.
  • HIFU ( High-intensive focused ultrasound) for lifting and tightening the skin with no downtime.
  • Injectables like Botox and fillers for improved neck and jawline contour.

Note that these nonsurgical neck lifting solutions are not as effective as platysmaplasty.
