Neck Lift

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do neck lift results last?

Results typically last 10-15 years, though individual factors like genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and weight stability affect longevity.

What is the best age for a neck lift?

Most patients are between 40-70, but the ideal time is when you're personally bothered by neck aging and in good overall health for surgery.

Can a neck lift be done without a facelift?

Yes, a standalone neck lift is appropriate for patients whose main concerns are limited to the neck and jawline. Many patients get excellent results without a full facelift.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and under the chin where they heal discreetly. Scars become nearly invisible over 6-12 months.

How painful is recovery?

Most patients describe discomfort as mild to moderate, well-controlled with prescribed pain medication during the first week. Tightness is the main sensation.

When can I fly home after surgery?

Most patients can safely fly 5-7 days after surgery, once initial swelling is controlled and any drains are removed.

Can neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, it's commonly combined with facelift, chin liposuction, chin implant, or eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How do I maintain my results?

Maintain stable weight, use daily sun protection, avoid smoking, and follow a good skincare routine to preserve your results for as long as possible.
