See picture.
Bathroom vent doesn't appear to be sucking, so I want to open it and see if it's something to do with the fan. If the fan looks fine I think I'll have to hire a professional to check the piping to make sure it isn't clogged.
What kind of a bathroom vent is this? How to open it

Without seeing the house I cant tell you. It sounds like you are talking about creating a soffit which is going to be alot of labor.
You have some other options. If this is just a 1/2 bath you can but a vent-free vent that uses a charcoal filter for smells. If there is a bath then you can get a small dehumidifier.
You would use a coupling tape and hose clamps. You use thin flex aluminum duct like shown in picture but I like to stick with the semi rigid flex duct. Zip ties can be used on thin stuff but not semi rigid.

We have a fan like that. The external body pulls straight down a couple inches and hangs on a pair of wire, spring-like supports. From there, you can access the light bulb and a bit of the fan.
I haven't done it, but from there, I would assume you can remove the fan and get a look at the vent pipe. For us, the alternative would be to attempt to access from above via the attic. That may be an option for you.
