Treatment overview
What this treatment can — and cannot — do.
At Dr Hammad Aesthetic, the neck-lift component is not performed as a standalone operation. It is offered only together with a facelift when assessment shows that facial and neck laxity should be treated in one combined surgical plan.

The consultation separates the concern this treatment can address from problems that need another approach, so treatment is not recommended simply because a procedure is popular.
Who may benefit
Who may benefit — and what we assess first.
Adults with facial and neck laxity who may benefit from a combined facelift + neck-lift plan and who are medically suitable for surgery.
Potential fitWhen Facelift + Neck Lift may make sense
Facelift + Neck Lift may be suitable for adults with meaningful neck laxity who are medically suitable and understand surgical scars and recovery. Suitability also depends on medical history, examination and realistic expectations.
Realistic expectationsWhat Facelift + Neck Lift cannot promise
A combined facelift + neck lift does not stop ageing. Isolated double-chin fat is assessed separately because liposuction addresses a different concern.
