Neck Lift

At ICC Health Tourism, we connect international patients with leading plastic surgeons in Antalya, ensuring a safe, professional, and personalised experience for those seeking facial rejuvenation. A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is an advanced surgical procedure designed to tighten sagging skin, remove excess fat, and redefine the jawline, creating a smoother, more youthful neck contour.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving signs of ageing in the neck and jawline. Over time, skin laxity, muscle weakness, and fat accumulation can lead to:

• Loose, sagging skin (“turkey neck”)
• Excess fat under the chin (double chin)
• Visible neck bands due to weakened muscles
• Loss of jawline definition

This procedure is ideal for individuals who want a more sculpted, youthful appearance without altering the natural balance of their facial features.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is recommended for those who:

• Experience loose, sagging skin in the neck area
• Have excess fat or a lack of jawline definition
• Notice prominent vertical neck bands due to ageing
• Seek a long-lasting solution for neck and lower face rejuvenation

How is the Procedure Performed?

1. Personalised Consultation and Surgical Planning

A plastic surgeon assesses the degree of skin laxity, fat distribution, and muscle tone, tailoring the procedure to the patient’s needs. Some individuals may benefit from a combined neck and facelift for enhanced results.

2. The Surgical Process

• The procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia and takes approximately two to three hours.
• Small incisions are typically placed behind the ears and under the chin to ensure minimal visible scarring.
• Excess skin is removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened to restore a firmer contour.
• If necessary, liposuction is performed to remove stubborn fat deposits and refine the jawline.
• The incisions are carefully closed, and a compression bandage is applied to support healing.

3. Recovery and Aftercare

• Patients can usually return home the same day or after an overnight stay.
• Swelling and mild bruising subside within two to three weeks.
• A compression garment should be worn for one to two weeks to promote healing.
• Most patients can resume light activities within ten days, avoiding strenuous movements for four to six weeks.
• Final results become visible within three to six months, once swelling has fully settled.

What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?

• Restores a smooth, youthful neck contour
• Redefines the jawline, improving overall facial balance
• Eliminates sagging skin and excess fat
• Provides long-lasting results, typically lasting ten years or more
