Mr Reza Nassab, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers neck lift surgery in Manchester. Consultations take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, with additional clinics in Knutsford, and surgery is performed at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. The procedure aims to tighten loose neck skin, soften muscle bands and restore definition to the jawline for adults across Greater Manchester and the North West.
What a neck lift can address
A neck lift, sometimes called a lower rhytidectomy, is designed for people bothered by loose or hanging skin beneath the chin, vertical bands running down the neck, or a blurred angle between the jaw and neck. Through incisions under the chin and around the ears, the skin is redraped, the platysma muscle can be tightened and excess fat may be removed. Where jowls and mid-face descent are also present, it is often combined with a facelift. Mr Nassab will explain which parts of your concern a neck lift can realistically improve.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your first appointment is a detailed, unhurried consultation with Mr Nassab. He will ask about your medical history, medicines, smoking and previous treatments, and examine the skin, fat distribution, muscle bands and jawline. Photographs are taken for your records and planning. You will discuss whether a neck lift, a less invasive alternative such as double chin liposuction, or a combined approach suits you best. The consultation fee is £150 and is separate from any surgical quote. A second consultation is encouraged before booking.
Surgery at Deansgate Hospital
On the day of surgery you arrive at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, where you meet the nursing team, the consultant anaesthetist and Mr Nassab, who will review your consent and make markings. A neck lift is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Depending on the extent of surgery and whether it is combined with other procedures, you may go home the same day or stay overnight. Before discharge you will receive written aftercare instructions, medicines and a contact number for the team.
Travelling from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients come from across Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton and further afield in the North West. Please arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you for the first night, as you must not drive yourself. If you are travelling a longer distance, it is sensible to plan the journey home in advance and allow time for rest. The team can help you think through the practical arrangements when you book.
Aftercare and follow-up in Manchester
Follow-up is arranged locally. A nurse check and removal of stitches is usually scheduled around one week after surgery, followed by reviews with Mr Nassab at intervals over the following months, typically at CLNQ in Manchester or Knutsford. Most people return to desk-based work after about two weeks and full exercise at around six weeks. The neck lift recovery guide explains each stage in detail. If you have any concerns between appointments, you can contact the team directly.
Suitability and safety
A neck lift is for adults aged 18 and over, and is most often requested from middle age onwards. Good candidates are non-smokers in good general health, at a stable weight, with realistic expectations. As with any operation, there are risks, including haematoma, nerve weakness, numbness and scarring, which are covered in the neck lift risks guide. Mr Nassab is on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery and is a member of BAAPS Council.
Cost
Neck lift surgery costs from £12,500; the final quote depends on the techniques used and whether it is combined with other procedures, and is confirmed after assessment. For reference, a facelift costs from £14,500 and a deep plane face and neck lift from £18,500. Your quote covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital stay and routine follow-up. Finance options are explained on our prices page.
