Neck Lift
A neck lift (cervicoplasty) is a surgical aesthetic procedure performed to eliminate sagging, wrinkles, and excess skin in the neck area, achieving a younger and firmer neck appearance.

What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical aesthetic procedure performed to eliminate sagging, wrinkles, and excess skin in the neck area caused by aging, gravity, weight changes, and genetic factors. In this procedure, excess skin and fat tissue in the neck area are removed, muscles are tightened, and the skin is reshaped. As a result, a younger, firmer, and smoother neck appearance is achieved.
A neck lift is especially preferred by people who want to correct what is commonly called "turkey neck" sagging, prominent wrinkles in the neck area, and double chin appearance. With modern techniques, scars are minimized and a natural appearance is achieved.
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
A neck lift is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take 2-3 hours. During the procedure, incisions are made starting from behind the ears and extending to the lower neck. Through these incisions, the neck skin and underlying tissues are lifted, excess skin and fat are removed, muscles are tightened, and the skin is reshaped.
After surgery, the incision sites are carefully closed and bandaged. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. During the recovery period, there may be mild swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness, but these usually subside within a few weeks.
Scars after a neck lift are hidden behind the ears and under the neck, becoming less noticeable over time. After surgery, patients achieve a younger, firmer, and more natural neck appearance.
Who is a Neck Lift Suitable For?
A neck lift is generally performed on people aged 40 and over who have significant sagging, wrinkles, and excess skin in the neck area. The procedure may be preferred in the following cases:
1. Significant sagging in the neck area 2. "Turkey neck" appearance 3. Double chin appearance 4. Wrinkles in the neck area
A neck lift is recommended for people in good general health, non-smokers, and those with realistic expectations. Suitability for each patient is determined after a detailed evaluation with the surgeon.
