A small incision is made in the crease under the chin. The loose muscles of the neck are tightened to restore neck contour. The skin on the neck is tightened and excess skin is removed. This type of surgery generally performed under a general anaesthetic. It can be performed as a day procedure; however, when combined with a facelift, an overnight stay in hospital is often preferred for patient comfort and care. For more extensive neck laxity, a facelift incision with extension down the posterior hairline would be possibly required to address the area fully.
