DR. MAYR TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT
Neck lift for a youthful profile
The neck is often among the first areas to show visible signs of aging—sagging skin, vertical bands (“platysma bands”), fat accumulation, and a loss of definition at the chin–neck junction can significantly alter the overall facial profile. A neck lift is designed to precisely address these concerns, restoring firmness and creating a smooth, well-defined transition between the face, jawline, and neck.
When does a neck lift make sense?
- Sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”)
- Clearly visible platysma bands (vertical collars)
- Fat deposits below the chin (“double chin”)
- Weak jaw-neck transition
- Prominent mandibular salivary glands
- Excess skin after weight loss or the ageing process
- Interest in a complementary facelift
Technology
A neck lift can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with a facelift.
Dr. Philipp Mayr works on several levels:
- Tightening of the platysma muscle (beneath the skin) to create a firm, well-defined neck contour
- Removal or redistribution of fatty tissue — if necessary, combined with precise liposuction
- Redraping of the skin without unnecessary tension, for a smooth, natural-looking result
- Incisions are typically placed discreetly beneath the chin and, if needed, behind the ears to minimize visible scarring
Advantages with Dr. Philipp Mayr
- Natural neck contour, no “exaggerated” look
- Combination of muscle tightening and skin adaptation for long-term stability

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can a neck lift be performed without a facelift?
Yes – this is particularly possible in younger patients who naturally have a double chin or a greater accumulation of skin and fat in the neck area without the face itself showing signs of ageing.
Will scars remain?
The incisions are made in such a way that they lie in natural skin folds or in the hairline and are generally inconspicuous after healing.
How long does a neck lift last?
Usually 8-12 years, depending on skin quality, age and lifestyle.
What is the difference to liposuction on the neck?
Liposuction alone only shapes the volume – a neck lift also tightens the muscles and skin, which is crucial for a permanently defined result.
