A firmer neck and defined contours—effective neck lifting with or without surgery for a refreshed profile.
At our practice in Hanover, we place great emphasis on a personalized assessment of your neck and chin area. Depending on your initial findings and your preferences, we offer various neck lift procedures. These may involve fat reduction alone, tightening of the neck muscles, or a combination of both. The goal is always to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

The neck is a sensitive area: it often ages faster than the face and reveals our biological age at first glance. While a double chin or stubborn fat deposits are usually the problem in younger years, sagging of the skin, connective tissue, and neck muscles comes into play as we age. The result: a so-called turkey neck, undefined jawlines, horizontal skin folds, or the appearance of a “sagging neck.”
At Dr. Limbourg’s practice, we analyze your individual situation and work with you to select the appropriate neck lift procedure—from minimally invasive neck lifts to comprehensive surgical chin and neck lifts.

About 1.5–2 hours
Local anesthesia or general anesthesia
Outpatient or inpatient
Approx. 1–2 weeks
A double chin can significantly affect the profile of the face. Through targeted liposuction or other methods, we remove excess fat tissue and tighten the skin to achieve a defined jawline.
For patients who do not wish to undergo surgery, we offer non-invasive procedures such as fat-dissolving injections. These methods can help contour the neck and tighten the skin.
In some cases, a combination of a chin lift and a neck lift is recommended to achieve a harmonious overall appearance. We would be happy to discuss the options with you.
In cases of significant sagging of the skin or muscles, a surgical neck lift may be necessary. During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed, and the neck muscles are tightened. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires a certain amount of recovery time.

When aging leads not only to fat deposits but also to muscle sagging and the formation of wrinkles, this is colloquially referred to as a „turkey neck.“ In these cases, a combination of
is used. The goal is to remove excess skin, reposition the deeper layers, and significantly improve the chin-neck contour.
Thanks to modern techniques (e.g., minimally invasive incisions behind the ear or under the chin), the resulting scars are virtually invisible. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis or under short-term anesthesia.
In cases of more pronounced tissue sagging—especially in people over 50—a neck lift alone is usually not sufficient. In such cases, the neck lift is a key component of a face-neck lift. In our practice, we use the proven Presto technique for facelifts:
The result: a significantly rejuvenated neck with a defined jawline, smooth skin, and firm structure—without a mask-like effect. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the hospital stay lasts 1–2 days, depending on the combination of procedures.
