Neck Lift Surgery in Turkey

Neck lift Surgery (Platysmaplasty) is one of the most preferred aesthetic operations in Turkey. The neck area is also the first place where fat accumulates during weight gain. Although some patients are not obese, they may have too much fat in the neck area. That causes the patient to look fatter, older and tired than actual. However, the most important factor for neck sagging is aging.

If the neck sagging area is caused by excess weight, excess fat can only be removed by liposuction. This way it can look tighter. This method is more suitable for young but overweight people. Many variables must be taken into account before this procedure. Variables such as the age of the person, the characteristics of the chin area, the degree of sagging of the skin determine the details of the procedure to be applied. As in every plastic surgery, the patient’s expectations are very important in neck lift.

What is Neck Lift Surgery?

The main purpose during this procedure is to bring the appearance of the patient’s jaw line to a normal level. 

Health problems such as heavy smoking or diabetes may prevent neck lift surgery. Also, if surgery has been done on the neck before, the surgery may be delayed.

In the end, the plastic surgeon decides whether the operation will be performed or not. Vacuuming the fat tissue under the chin can achieve very good results, especially in jowl problems, in young patients with good muscle strength, tense, and no obvious loose or excessive skin. In order to be successful in the elderly and patients with significant skin sagging, interventions such as stretching the sagging subcutaneous muscle tissue and removing excess skin are also needed. First of all, an examination is required to determine the cause of neck stretching.

Who is the Right Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?

If you find yourself staring at your neckline more than your face for no apparent reason, you may be a candidate for neck lift surgery.

You may be the right candidate for neck lift surgery in Turkey if you have:

  • Generally, people who live well and have reasonable goals for what neck lift surgery can accomplish are most satisfied with their results.
  • People with significant skin sagging in the neck area have the appearance of a “turkey neck”. The appearance of their necks rather than other features reveals their age. This can lead to insecurity about one’s appearance, which can lead to a loss of self-confidence.

Types of Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is rarely done alone and is usually done in conjunction with facelift surgery. For the neck lift surgery, usually general anesthesia is preferred

1. Lower Neck Lift

Lower neck lift surgery improves obvious signs of aging on the lower jaw line and neck. In this method, surgeons operate to reposition the tissue under the skin of the lower neck and usually stretch the platysma muscle. The skin is pulled over the tightened contours and the excess skin is removed.

2. Mini Neck Lift

A mini neck lift is a less invasive neck lift surgery that can improve the appearance of the neck. During the procedure, the vertical neck bands are removed and the excess skin on the neck is tightened. In mini neck lift, the incisions are narrower than in normal neck lift surgery, which results in shorter surgery and recovery time, as well as less bruising and swelling. The result is a younger and attractive chin and neck with minimal recovery time.

Neck Lift Procedure

A few days before the operation, your surgeon may ask you to stop taking aspirin or other blood thinners. Since smoking causes skin wrinkles and inhibits healing, your doctor will also recommend that you stop smoking before undergoing neck lift surgery.

  • You will be given medications to help you relax during the surgical procedure. Local and general anesthesia are two options.
  • Swelling and bruising are common side effects of a neck lift. You may need to wear a special neck compression garment to help minimize swelling. You also need to keep your head straight and above your heart. You should avoid bending your neck for several days.
