What is Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, addresses visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. The procedure tightens loose skin, removes excess fat, and corrects muscle banding to restore a more youthful, defined neck contour that can last 10-15 years.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Consider combining your neck lift with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Turkish clinics often offer significant package discounts for combined procedures.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Ask to see patients with similar starting points to yours. A surgeon who can show consistent results across different ages and skin types demonstrates mastery of neck rejuvenation techniques.

"I recently had surgery, and so far everything's going well 😊 Unfortunately, there was a small misunderstanding at the beginning. But it was cleared up pretty quickly. I was at Özel Uncali Hospital. Most of the staff there are really friendly, especially the nurses on the ward. My doctor was Dr. Bilge, and he's very experienced in his field. He treats his patients as equals and always takes the time to answer any questions you may have. Throughout the entire period, we were cared for by Mr. Ugur from AestheticAntalya. He was always in a good mood, friendly, and always available to us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him, my doctor, and the nurses again."

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to the clinic for the professional FUE hair transplant. From the very first visit, I felt a caring and attentive attitude: they provided a thorough consultation, answered all my questions, and helped me determine a treatment plan. The procedure was comfortable, painless, and stress-free, and the team of doctors worked harmoniously and meticulously. I was especially pleased with the modern equipment and the high level of sterility. I am more than pleased with the result – my hairline looks natural, the hair has taken well, and a significant difference is already noticeable. A special thank you for the support and advice during the recovery period. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering an FUE hair transplant and wanting a high-quality, natural result that will give them confidence."

"My wife and I had a procedure at V Klinik three weeks ago. We are both happy with the attention and quality of care we received at V Kilink. I had a hair transplant and I would like to thank the team, Mr. Fatih, Mrs. Revnak, Mrs. Aleyna, Mrs.Sena, and Mrs.Ceyda for their professionalism and kindness. They patiently answered my questions and explained every step of the procedure. As you may know hair transplant procedure takes around 8-10 hours, this team has a good vibe going around in the procedure room, which makes it very easy and you will not notice how those 10 hours passed. Also, they do not mind helping with any questions afterward, it has been 3 weeks after the hair transplant, and what I can say so far is so good."

"I have been doing research for a long time about gynecomastia surgery. I found Dr. Nedim by looking at the comments and I contacted him to get information. He answered all my curiosity and questions in the best way and we decided on the surgery date. We got a date for the surgery on August 18th and had my surgery. It has been 1 month and it went so well, I am very happy. I am glad I found Dr. Nedim. Thank you very much. I recommend it to everyone. No one should be afraid of surgery. They should trust Dr. Nedim. First of all, they should trust Dr. Nedim and then Ms. Gülsüm. Thank you very much. They were very attentive and thank you very much."
