Neck Lift Surgery in Dubai
Neck Lift Surgery in Dubai
A neck lift tightens the neck muscle and removes loose skin under the chin and along the jawline. It is often combined with platysmaplasty, the repair of the vertical neck bands. At ELEMENTAL, neck lift surgery in Dubai is performed by Dr. Bouraoui Kotti, Specialist Plastic Surgeon (DHA licence 00191301-015), in the centre’s own day-surgery theatre in Jumeirah 1.

- Platysmaplasty — the edges of the neck muscle are stitched together through a short incision under the chin to correct vertical bands.
- Neck lift with skin removal — incisions around the earlobe and behind the ear; loose skin is redraped and trimmed.
- Neck liposuction — for fullness under the chin when the skin is still firm.
- Combined face and neck lift — when the jowls and lower face have also descended; see facelift.
The technique is chosen at the consultation after the surgeon examines the skin, fat and muscle.
Adults with loose neck skin, visible neck bands, a blunted jawline or fullness under the chin that does not change with weight. Stable weight and no smoking for at least four weeks before and after surgery are expected. Surgery is postponed in case of uncontrolled blood pressure, bleeding disorders or active skin infection.
Most patients go home the same day. A supportive chin strap is worn for one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling are most visible in the first 10–14 days; sutures are removed within the first two weeks. Light activity resumes after about two weeks and sport after four to six weeks, as confirmed by the surgeon at the follow-up visits.
Bleeding (haematoma), infection, visible or thickened scars, temporary numbness of the skin, asymmetry, temporary or, rarely, persistent weakness of the lower lip caused by nerve irritation, delayed skin healing (more often in smokers), anaesthesia-related risks and the need for revision. The surgeon discusses these with you before you sign the consent.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon: AED 1,000, as of November 2026. The price of a neck lift depends on the technique, the anaesthesia and the theatre time, and is quoted in writing after the consultation. Individual results vary; a consultation is required.
