How Does It Work?
Advanced Jawline & Neck Contouring Without a Facelift
At McKeown Medical, we developed the Quantum Lift for patients who:
- Want more improvement than can realistically be achieved with non-invasive treatments alone
- Are not yet ready for deep plane facelift surgery
- Want a more defined jawline and tighter neck with less downtime and less invasive treatment
Using a combination of:
- Quantum RF skin tightening
- Precision Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
the Quantum Lift allows us to tighten tissue beneath the skin while also refining contour and definition in the jawline and neck.
What Is the Quantum Lift?
The Quantum Lift is a minimally invasive contouring procedure focused on the:
- Jawline
- Lower face
- Neck
- Submental (“under chin”) area
The procedure combines:
- RF-assisted skin tightening
- Precision fat contouring
- Tissue contraction and collagen remodelling
to create a sharper, more refined lower face contour.
The Quantum Lift focuses on:
- Tightening loose tissue
- Reducing heaviness beneath the chin
- Improving jawline definition
- Creating a cleaner neck contour
This makes it particularly effective for patients beginning to notice:
- Early jowling
- Softening along the jawline
- Neck heaviness
- Loss of lower face definition
How the Quantum Lift Works
Quantum RF Skin Tightening
Quantum RF is an advanced radiofrequency-assisted contouring technology designed to tighten connective tissue beneath the skin.
Using controlled RF energy, the treatment:
- Contracts collagen fibres
- Tightens loose tissue
- Stimulates collagen remodelling
- Improves jawline and neck definition
Unlike surface-only skin tightening treatments, Quantum RF works beneath the skin where more meaningful structural tightening can occur.
This allows for significant contour improvement while remaining minimally invasive.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
PAL uses a specialised vibrating micro-cannula to precisely contour fatty tissue beneath the chin and jawline.
This allows us to:
- Reduce excess submental fullness
- Sculpt the jawline more accurately
- Improve neck contour
- Create smoother and more refined transitions
PAL is particularly valuable because it allows highly controlled contouring in delicate facial areas.
The Role of Combination Treatments
At McKeown Medical, we strongly believe that the best aesthetic outcomes often come from combining complementary treatments rather than relying on a single approach.
Different treatments address different aspects of facial ageing and facial structure.
For example:
Sofwave®
Sofwave is excellent for:
- Early skin laxity
- Preventative collagen stimulation
- Skin quality and firmness
- Patients wanting entirely non-invasive treatment
Many Quantum Lift patients either:
- Have previously had Sofwave
or - Continue to use Sofwave as part of their long-term maintenance strategy.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers remain an extremely valuable tool for:
- Restoring lost facial volume
- Enhancing cheek support
- Improving facial balance
- Refining contour and definition
In some patients, subtle filler treatment following a Quantum Lift can further enhance overall facial harmony and rejuvenation.
Rather than competing with one another, these treatments often work exceptionally well together.
Deep Plane Facelift Surgery
For patients with more advanced ageing and significant tissue descent, deep plane facelift surgery remains the gold standard.
The Quantum Lift is designed for patients who:
- Are not yet ready for formal surgery
- Do not yet require a facelift
- Want meaningful improvement with less downtime
In many cases, it can delay the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Who Is the Quantum Lift For?
The Quantum Lift is ideal for patients who:
- Want more structural improvement in the lower face and neck
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Feel their jawline has become softer or less defined
- Have fullness beneath the chin
- Want meaningful improvement without formal facelift surgery
- It can be used in patients with more severe laxity who do not want to commit to facelift surgery, but accept the results will be more limited.
It is also particularly effective for younger patients who:
- Have excess submental fullness (“double chin”)
- Want a more sculpted jawline
- Have genetically heavier tissue beneath the chin despite being slim

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and the results you are looking to achieve.
The Quantum Lift
£5,500What to Expect
Areas Treated
Jawline
The Quantum Lift can:
- Sharpen jawline definition
- Reduce heaviness along the jaw
- Improve lower face contour
Double Chin
Excess fullness beneath the chin can be reduced while simultaneously tightening the overlying tissue.
This creates:
- Better neck definition
- A sharper cervicomental angle
- More sculpted lower face contour
Neck
The treatment can improve:
- Mild to moderate loose neck skin
- Early neck ageing
- Soft tissue heaviness
- Loss of definition beneath the jawline
Performed Under Local Anaesthetic
The Quantum Lift is typically performed under local anaesthetic.
This allows patients to:
- Avoid general anaesthetic
- Recover rapidly
- Return home immediately following the procedure
The procedure is minimally invasive, with tiny access points hidden beneath the chin or around the jawline.

Recovery After the Quantum Lift
Recovery After the Quantum Lift
Most patients experience:
- Swelling and mild bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Temporary tightness or tenderness
- Gradual improvement over several months
As collagen remodelling continues, tightening and contour refinement continue to improve progressively over time.
Common Questions
Is the Quantum Lift a facelift?
No. The Quantum Lift is a minimally invasive contouring and skin tightening procedure designed for patients who want more improvement than non-surgical treatments alone, but are not yet ready for facelift surgery.
Can I still have fillers after a Quantum Lift?
Yes — absolutely. Fillers and the Quantum Lift often complement each other beautifully. While the Quantum Lift tightens and contours tissue, fillers can restore volume and enhance facial balance where appropriate.
Can the Quantum Lift be combined with Sofwave?
Yes. Sofwave can be an excellent complementary treatment for ongoing collagen stimulation and maintenance of skin quality.
Is the Quantum Lift good for a double chin?
Yes. It is particularly effective for patients with submental fullness and poor jawline definition.
Will this replace a deep plane facelift?
Not in patients with advanced ageing or severe tissue laxity. However, it can be an excellent option for patients with early to moderate ageing changes.
