Dr. Kevin Ho is a Sydney-based plastic surgeon who specialises in neck lift procedures to address age-related changes in the neck area. With expertise in facial and neck rejuvenation, he offers tailored treatments for skin laxity (sagging skin) and submental fat accumulation (excess fat).
Neck lift surgery, also called platysmaplasty, is a special medical procedure that helps make your neck look younger and smoother. As we get older, our neck skin can become loose and wrinkly, and sometimes extra fat builds up under our chin.
Dr. Kevin Ho is a highly trained plastic surgeon in Australia who performs this surgery to fix these issues and help people feel better about how they look. During the surgery, Dr. Ho does three main things:
Dr. Ho uses special techniques to make sure the results look natural, not fake or too tight. He also tries to hide any small scars behind the ears or under the chin so they’re hard to see.

After your neck lift surgery with Dr. Kevin Ho, it’s important to follow a recovery plan to ensure optimal healing and comfort. Here’s what you can expect during your recovery process:
Most patients experience some bruising and swelling around the neck area during the first two weeks. This is completely normal and part of the healing process. To help minimise these effects, you will be instructed to wear a supportive garment around your neck and lower face. This garment not only helps reduce swelling but also provides support to the newly contoured tissues.
During this initial recovery phase, you may feel some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients find that they only need pain relief for about three to five days after the surgery. It’s essential to rest and avoid any strenuous activities during this time. Keeping your head elevated, even while sleeping, will also aid in reducing swelling.
As you move into weeks two to four, many patients begin to feel ready to return to work and light activities. However, it’s important to continue avoiding vigorous exercise for about a month. You’ll notice that the swelling and bruising will gradually decrease, although some tightness in your neck may persist, which is a normal part of the healing process.
While you’ll see improvements within the first month, keep in mind that full results can take several months to develop. Scars from the procedure will continue to fade over time, often improving significantly within a year.
Dr. Ho will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. These check-ups are crucial for ensuring that everything is healing properly and that you’re on track to achieve the desired results.
To support your recovery, it’s vital to follow Dr. Ho’s specific aftercare instructions:
Remember, everyone heals differently, so if you have any concerns during your recovery, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Ho’s office. With proper care and patience, you’ll be able to enjoy a refreshed and youthful neck appearance.
