Neck Lift · Istanbul

The neck tells first. It can also recover first.

Necks age ahead of faces, skin loosens, vertical bands appear, the clean line from jaw to throat softens into one. A neck lift restores that line: the profile change that makes people ask if you've been on holiday.

Is this for you?

A neck lift is the right conversation if…

…loose skin gathers under your chin or drapes the front of your neck; vertical muscle bands show when you speak; or your jawline has lost its border. If fullness under the chin is fat rather than skin, sometimes liposuction or J-Plasma alone solves it, a smaller intervention we'll recommend honestly whenever it's enough.

What the surgery does

A clean line, restored

Through discreet incisions behind the ears (and often a small one under the chin), the neck's platysma muscles are tightened, erasing bands, while excess skin is removed and redraped, and stubborn fat contoured. It's frequently combined with a facelift for one harmonious result; alone, it remains one of the highest-impact procedures per day of recovery in facial surgery.

Recovery, honestly

What the weeks after look like

  • Tightness and swelling for the first two weeks, a supportive chin strap does quiet duty at home.
  • Presentable at 10–14 days; scarves and collars cover the interim elegantly.
  • Sleep elevated, on your back, for the first weeks.
  • The final line emerges over 3–6 months and holds for years.

My face still looked fine but my neck had given the game away for years. They restored the jawline so cleanly that people assume I've lost weight or been away. The scars behind my ears genuinely can't be found. Worth every day of the recovery.

Good questions to ask

Neck lift, the honest answers

Neck lift or facelift, or both?
If the change you mind is below the jaw, a neck lift may be all you need; if jowls and mid-face are part of it, combining is often wiser than staging. The photo assessment answers it honestly.
Where are the scars?
Tucked behind the ears and, when needed, in the natural under-chin crease, positions chosen because they disappear from view even with short hair.
What about "tech neck" in younger patients?
Earlier changes often respond to smaller tools, J-Plasma tightening or liposuction, before a full lift is warranted. We'll match the intervention to the actual finding.
