A neck lift at Centre for Surgery costs from £8,500 as a standalone procedure. Where a neck lift is added to a facelift — the most common scenario — it is charged as an add-on of from £3,500 on top of the facelift price, because theatre time and anaesthesia are shared.

A neck lift (clinically, platysmaplasty) corrects the changes that produce a “turkey neck”: loose skin under the chin, vertical platysmal bands, submental fat, and a blurred jaw-neck angle. Most patients combine it with a facelift, so neck lift pricing is often quoted two different ways, which causes confusion. This guide breaks down exactly what a neck lift costs in London in 2026 — standalone and combined — what is included, when liposuction alone would be cheaper and appropriate instead, and how finance works.

How much does a neck lift cost in London?

At Centre for Surgery, a standalone neck lift typically costs from £8,500. The final figure depends on the extent of work, whether other procedures are combined, and whether the anaesthetic is TIVA or local with sedation. The table below gives the indicative ranges; your exact quote is confirmed at your in-person consultation.

Neck lift option	Indicative cost (London)
Neck lift alone (standalone)	from £8,500
Neck lift added to a facelift	from £3,500 extra
With chin augmentation	from £10,500
With upper blepharoplasty	from £11,000
With mini facelift	from £11,000
With SMAS facelift	from £13,700
With deep plane facelift	from £18,500

Prices in London tend to sit higher than the UK average, reflecting facility standards, surgeon experience, and anaesthetic provision. A quote noticeably below these ranges is worth questioning — it usually means items have been excluded (theatre fees, anaesthetist’s fees, or aftercare), or that the facility is not a regulated private hospital. Always ask for an itemised, all-inclusive quote so you are comparing like with like — and check what type of anaesthetic and stay is included, since some providers price a facelift-and-neck-lift package around general anaesthesia with an overnight hospital stay, which is a different (and typically costlier and slower-recovery) experience from TIVA day-case surgery.

Before you compare quotes, look at outcomes. Our neck lift before and after photos show results from patients treated at Baker Street, and how to read these photos explains why the profile view is the one that matters.

Standalone neck lift vs neck lift with a facelift — why the price differs

This is the single most confusing thing about neck lift pricing, so it is worth being clear. There are two scenarios:

A standalone neck lift (no facelift) costs from £8,500. This is the full cost of the procedure on its own — its own theatre time, anaesthesia, surgeon’s fee, and aftercare.
A neck lift added to a facelift costs from £3,500 on top of the facelift price. It is cheaper as an add-on because the theatre time, anaesthesia, and aftercare are shared with the facelift — you are only paying for the additional surgical work, not a second set of facility and anaesthetic fees.

So if you see a neck lift quoted “from £3,500” elsewhere and “£8,500+” here, both can be correct — one is the add-on price, the other is the standalone price. Most patients ultimately have a combined facelift and neck lift, because the face and neck age together.

How much does each neck lift option cost?

The right option depends on whether your concern is the neck alone, or the neck together with lower-face or other facial ageing.

Neck lift alone — from £8,500

A standalone neck lift with platysmaplasty is appropriate when the face itself still looks reasonable but the neck has aged significantly — loose skin, platysmal banding, submental fat, and a lost jaw-neck angle. It takes 2–3 hours and is performed as a day case.

Neck lift with chin augmentation — from £10,500

For patients with a weak or receding chin, adding chin augmentation improves jaw-neck definition and makes the neck lift result more pronounced.

Neck lift with mini facelift — from £11,000

For early-to-moderate lower-face changes alongside neck laxity, a mini facelift combined with a neck lift addresses jowls and the neck together with a shorter incision pattern than a full facelift.

Neck lift with SMAS facelift — from £13,700

The most common combination for patients with moderate facial and neck ageing. The SMAS facelift addresses jowls and jawline descent while the neck lift restores the jaw-neck angle — treating the face and neck as one unit. Some providers price a comparable combined package from around £12,500 upwards under TIVA with an overnight stay; ours is performed under TIVA as a day case, starting from £10,500.

Neck lift with deep plane facelift — from £18,500

The most comprehensive option, suited to thicker skin, heavier facial structure, or revision cases. The deep plane facelift with neck lift gives the strongest, longest-lasting correction. See our full guide to how much a facelift costs for the facelift-led combinations.

How much does a male neck lift cost?

A male neck lift is priced above the equivalent procedure in a female patient. The reason is surgical rather than commercial: male neck skin is thicker and considerably more vascular, and the platysma muscle is heavier and stronger, so tightening it takes longer and requires more meticulous control of bleeding. Beard-bearing skin also constrains where incisions can be placed and how skin can be redraped, since hair-bearing skin must not be drawn behind the ear.

Men also more often present with submental fullness and a heavy, obtuse jaw-neck angle rather than skin laxity alone, which frequently means combining the neck lift with chin and neck liposuction or chin augmentation to achieve a defined result. Your exact quote is confirmed at consultation once the technique and any combined procedures are agreed.

Your neck lift quote at Centre for Surgery is itemised and confirmed in writing. There are no hidden extras added after the headline figure. The price covers:

Your surgeon’s fee
Consultant anaesthetist’s fee

When comparing quotes between clinics, always check what is included. Some quote a low surgical fee, then add theatre time, anaesthetist’s fees, and follow-ups separately. The total you actually pay is what matters — not the headline number.

What factors affect the cost of a neck lift?

Several variables determine where your neck lift sits within these ranges:

Standalone vs combined: the biggest factor. A neck lift added to a facelift shares facility and anaesthetic costs, so it is cheaper as an add-on than as a standalone procedure.
Which facelift it is combined with: mini, SMAS, or deep plane facelift each carry different prices.
Extent of neck work: the amount of platysmal banding, submental fat, and skin laxity being corrected.
Anaesthetic type: standalone neck lifts may be performed under local anaesthetic with sedation, which has lower anaesthesia costs than TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia); TIVA is typically used for combined procedures. Some other providers use general anaesthesia with an overnight stay for combined facelift-and-neck-lift surgery, which is a different cost and recovery model to our day-case TIVA approach.
Primary vs revision: correcting previous neck surgery is more complex than a first-time procedure.

A standalone neck lift typically takes 2–3 hours; combined with a facelift, total operating time is 4–6 hours. All neck lift surgery at Centre for Surgery is performed as a day case — you go home the same day rather than staying overnight.

Neck lift or neck liposuction — which do I need, and what’s the cost difference?

This matters because the two procedures cost very differently and treat different problems. Chin and neck liposuction (from £3,500) removes submental fat only — it is appropriate when the concern is fat, skin elasticity is good, and there is no platysmal banding. A neck lift (from £8,500 standalone) additionally tightens the platysma muscle and repositions loose skin — it is needed when there is banding or significant skin laxity that liposuction alone cannot correct.

Choosing the cheaper liposuction when you actually need a neck lift is poor value, because it will under-correct and leave you disappointed. At consultation your surgeon assesses fat, skin, and muscle separately to recommend the right procedure. See our guide to how much chin liposuction costs and the comparison of neck liposuction vs neck lift.

Can you get a neck lift on finance?

Is a neck lift worth the cost?

For patients with platysmal banding, loose neck skin, or a lost jaw-neck angle, a neck lift is the only treatment that reliably corrects the underlying structure. Non-surgical treatments — radiofrequency skin tightening, Morpheus8, FaceTite — can produce modest improvements in early, mild cases, but none of them address the platysma muscle, which is the source of banding and the main structural problem in most aged necks. For moderate or significant changes, only surgery produces a lasting result, and a well-performed neck lift typically lasts 10 years or more.

Spread across a decade or more, a one-off surgical correction is often better value than repeated rounds of non-surgical maintenance that only partially address the problem. That said, a neck lift is not right for everyone — for mild laxity without banding, non-surgical options or chin liposuction may serve you better and cost less. At consultation, your surgeon will give you an honest assessment.

How to choose a neck lift surgeon — not just on price

Neck lift is a technically demanding procedure, and the platysmaplasty that corrects banding requires specific surgical skill. Price should never be the deciding factor. Whoever you choose, make sure they:

Are on the GMC Specialist Register for plastic surgery
Are members of BAPRAS or BAAPS
Operate in a CQC-regulated facility
Can show you consistent before-and-after results over time
Will honestly tell you if liposuction alone, a combined facelift, or no surgery would serve you better

Why choose Centre for Surgery for your neck lift?

Centre for Surgery offers neck lift surgery at our CQC-regulated private hospital on Baker Street, performed by plastic surgeons.

GMC-registered surgeons: all neck lift surgery is performed by GMC-registered plastic surgeons, members of BAPRAS and ISAPS. We do not use cosmetic doctors for facial or neck surgery.
CQC-regulated private hospital: our purpose-built hospital at 95-97 Baker Street is independently inspected and rated “Good” by the Care Quality Commission.
TIVA day-case surgery: standalone neck lifts can be performed under local anaesthetic with sedation where appropriate; combined procedures use TIVA, with same-day discharge rather than an overnight hospital stay.
Full range of facial procedures: standalone neck lift, mini neck lift, neck lift with facelift, and chin and neck liposuction — so we recommend the approach that fits your anatomy rather than defaulting to one option.
Honest case selection: if liposuction alone, a combined facelift, or a non-surgical option would serve you better, we will tell you.
Two-week cooling-off period as standard, and finance through Chrysalis Finance.

Neck lift cost FAQs

How much does a neck lift cost in the UK in 2026?

At Centre for Surgery in London, a standalone neck lift costs from £8,500. Added to a facelift, the neck lift is charged as an add-on starting from £3,500 on top of the facelift price. Common combined prices: SMAS facelift with neck lift from £13,700; mini facelift with neck lift from £11,000; deep plane facelift with neck lift from £18,500. Your exact price is confirmed at consultation.

Why is a neck lift quoted “from £3,500” in some places and “£8,500+” here?

Both can be correct — they describe different things. from £3,500 is the add-on price when a neck lift is performed at the same time as a facelift, sharing theatre time and anaesthesia. from £8,500 is the full standalone price when the neck lift is performed on its own with its own facility and anaesthetic fees. Always check whether a quote is for a standalone neck lift or an add-on to another procedure.

How much is a combined facelift and neck lift?

A SMAS facelift with neck lift typically costs from £13,700. A mini facelift with neck lift is from £11,000, and a deep plane facelift with neck lift is from £18,500. The combined approach is the most common because the face and neck age together, and it means a single anaesthetic and one recovery period. Ours is performed under TIVA as a day case, rather than the general anaesthesia and overnight stay some other providers use for a comparable combined package.

Does a male neck lift cost more?

Yes. A male neck lift is priced above the equivalent procedure in a female patient, for surgical reasons rather than commercial ones. Male neck skin is thicker and more vascular, and the platysma muscle is heavier and stronger, so tightening it takes longer and demands more meticulous control of bleeding. Beard-bearing skin also limits where incisions can sit and how skin can be redraped. Men also more commonly need chin and neck liposuction or chin augmentation alongside the neck lift to achieve a defined jaw-neck angle, which affects the total. Your exact quote is confirmed at consultation.

Is a neck lift covered by the NHS or insurance?

No. A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by the NHS or private health insurance. It is funded privately, though finance is available through Chrysalis Finance to spread the cost.

How much does a neck lift cost per month on finance?

Finance is available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status; see our finance options page.

Is a neck lift cheaper than neck liposuction?

No — a neck lift (from £8,500 standalone) costs more than chin and neck liposuction (from £3,500) because it does more: it tightens the platysma muscle and repositions loose skin, not just removes fat. Liposuction is appropriate when the concern is fat alone and skin quality is good; a neck lift is needed for platysmal banding or significant skin laxity. Choosing the cheaper option when you need the other is poor value.

What’s included in the price of a neck lift?

The price covers your surgeon’s and anaesthetist’s fees, theatre time at our CQC-regulated Baker Street facility, pre-operative assessment, unlimited consultations, same-day discharge, your surgeon’s direct number for the first 24 hours, a dedicated patient coordinator, and all follow-up appointments and aftercare through six months. Any compression garment or prescribed medication you need is bought separately, and histology is charged separately where a sample is sent for analysis; your coordinator confirms these in advance. There are no hidden extras.

How long do neck lift results last, and is it good value?

A well-performed neck lift typically lasts 10 years or more, because the platysma muscle takes the tension of the correction rather than the skin. It does not need ongoing maintenance, so it often represents better long-term value than repeated non-surgical treatments for patients with moderate or significant neck changes.

Does a neck lift cost more if combined with other procedures?

The total cost rises when you add procedures — chin augmentation, eyelid surgery, or a facelift — but each shares the same anaesthetic and recovery, which is more efficient than staging them separately. For example, a neck lift with chin augmentation is from £10,500, and with upper blepharoplasty from £11,000.
