Surgical
Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eye Lift)
A surgical procedure that may involve the removal or repositioning of skin and orbital fat to modify the structure and appearance of the upper eyelid.
Cervicoplasty, also known as a neck lift, is a surgical procedure performed at Shape Clinic in Sydney to address age-related changes in the neck. The skin in the neck area is often thinner and can be more susceptible to age-related changes, such as reduced elasticity and changes in underlying volume.
According to Dr Steven Liew (FRACS, MED0001151298), Specialist Plastic Surgeon: “Rhytidectomy and cervicoplasty procedures involve repositioning underlying tissues to support facial and neck structure, rather than relying solely on skin tightening.”
Cervicoplasty involves the removal of excess skin from the neck and under-chin areas. In some cases, it may also include tightening of the platysma muscle to support the underlying neck structure.

Cervicoplasty may be considered for individuals experiencing changes in the neck (cervical) region due to ageing, weight fluctuations, or other factors. These changes may include:
This procedure is generally considered for patients seeking surgical management of structural changes in the lower face and neck regions that may not be addressed by non-surgical treatments.

The longevity of outcomes following Cervicoplasty varies between individuals. Factors such as age, skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle habits can influence how long changes are maintained. While surgical repositioning of tissue may provide long-term structural adjustments, natural age-related changes will continue to occur over time.

Yes, Cervicoplasty is the medical term for what is commonly referred to as a neck lift, a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin and structural laxity in the neck.
Initial changes in neck contour are visible shortly after surgery, although swelling and bruising will affect the appearance in the early stages. Most patients may notice significant improvement within 4 to 6 weeks as swelling subsides, with final results continuing over the following months as tissues settle.
Scarring is a normal part of any surgical procedure involving incisions. Incisions for Cervicoplasty are typically placed in inconspicuous locations, such as behind the ears and under the chin, to help minimise visibility, though scarring cannot be eliminated entirely. The visibility of scars varies based on individual healing response, surgical technique, and adherence to post-operative care.
Cervicoplasty refers to the surgical removal of excess skin in the neck, while Platysmaplasty specifically addresses the platysma muscle, tightening or repositioning it to correct muscle banding or laxity. These procedures are often performed together however, your surgeon will be able to advise on the most suitable approach.
Most patients are able to return to non-strenuous activity and work within 1 to 2 weeks following a Cervicoplasty, depending on individual healing and the nature of their occupation. Strenuous exercise and activities that raise blood pressure are generally avoided for around 4 to 6 weeks, with your surgeon providing specific guidance based on your recovery progress.
