As we age, the delicate skin around the neck often shows signs of ageing before the rest of the face. Loose skin, banding, and a loss of jawline definition can leave us feeling self-conscious — even if we feel youthful and energetic on the inside. If this sounds familiar, you might be considering a neck lift. But where do you begin? The most important first step is choosing the right neck lift surgeon.
If you’re in Sydney, Dr John Flood, a highly experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon, offers advanced neck lift procedures with natural-looking, lasting results.

What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. It’s ideal for patients experiencing:
- Sagging or loose neck skin
- Vertical neck bands (prominent platysma muscles)
- Excess fat under the chin (commonly known as a “double chin”)
- Loss of jawline definition
The procedure involves tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and sometimes combining with liposuction for optimal contouring. The result? A more youthful, refined neckline that complements your facial features — without the need for overcorrection.
Why Choose Dr John Flood as Your Neck Lift Surgeon?
Dr Flood brings decades of experience in facial and reconstructive surgery to each patient he treats. Having completed specialist training in Australia and a prestigious fellowship in maxillofacial surgery in the United States, he offers both technical precision and aesthetic sensitivity.
Patients choose Dr Flood not only for his skill as a neck lift surgeon, but also for his honest, personalised approach. Every consultation is tailored to you — your concerns, goals, lifestyle, and desired outcomes. Whether the neck lift is performed on its own or alongside other facial procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, Dr Flood ensures a harmonious, balanced result that still looks like you.
What to Expect from a Neck Lift Consultation
During your consultation with Dr Flood, you’ll discuss:
- Your concerns and goals
- What the procedure can and can’t achieve
- Whether you’re a good candidate for surgery
- Recommended techniques (including deep plane lift if appropriate)
- The recovery process and expected results
- Any associated risks or downtime
Transparency is key — Dr Flood takes the time to explain all aspects of the procedure so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Complementary Procedures for Optimal Results
For many patients, a neck lift alone may not address all ageing concerns. Dr Flood often combines a neck lift with:
- Facelift surgery, to tighten and lift the lower face
- Chin liposuction, to reduce submental fullness
- Fat grafting, to restore youthful volume in the mid- and lower face
- Skin treatments, to improve texture and tone
His holistic approach ensures that the results are seamless and natural, enhancing the overall harmony of your facial features.
