At our clinic, we offer the Neck Lift, a procedure designed to tighten sagging skin, remove excess fat, and restore a youthful, defined neckline.
A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is a cosmetic surgery designed to tighten loose skin, reduce sagging, and redefine the jawline for a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for those experiencing turkey neck, excess fat, or deep wrinkles due to aging or weight loss.
A sagging neck doesn’t have to define your profile forever. If you’re considering a neck lift Turkey procedure, you’ve landed in the right place. Turkey has emerged as Europe’s premier destination for cervical rejuvenation surgery, combining world-class surgical expertise with costs that won’t break the bank.
Whether you’re dealing with turkey neck, loose skin after weight loss, or simply the natural effects of aging, a professionally performed neck lift can restore your jawline’s definition and boost your confidence dramatically.
A neck lift, medically known as cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, surgically addresses aging signs in the neck area. The procedure targets loose, sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and weakened neck muscles that create the dreaded “turkey neck” appearance.
During the surgery, your plastic surgeon makes discrete incisions around the ears and sometimes under the chin. They then tighten the underlying platysma muscle (the thin sheet of muscle covering your neck), remove excess fat through liposuction if needed, and trim away surplus skin before closing the incisions with precision sutures.
The entire procedure typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. Modern techniques focus on creating natural-looking results that complement your facial structure rather than producing an obviously “done” appearance.
Turkey’s plastic surgeons have refined these techniques through thousands of procedures, often combining neck lifts with facelifts or other facial rejuvenation treatments for comprehensive results. The country’s medical tourism infrastructure ensures international patients receive seamless care from consultation through recovery.
“I couldn’t believe the transformation. My neck looked 15 years younger, but still completely natural. The Istanbul clinic exceeded every expectation.” – Sarah M., London

Like all surgical procedures, neck lift surgery carries certain risks that every patient should understand before making their decision. While serious complications are rare when surgery is performed by experienced, board-certified surgeons in accredited facilities, it’s important to be fully informed.
Common temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, and numbness around the surgical area, which typically resolve within 2-4 weeks. More significant risks include bleeding requiring return to surgery (occurring in less than 2% of cases), infection (preventable with proper antibiotic protocols), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Specific to neck lift procedures, patients may experience temporary or permanent changes in skin sensation, asymmetry requiring minor revision, visible scarring (though rare with proper technique), or damage to facial nerves affecting muscle movement. The risk of permanent nerve damage is extremely low—less than 1%—when surgery is performed by experienced facial plastic surgeons.
Our surgical team takes extensive precautions to minimize these risks, including thorough medical screening, sterile surgical techniques, experienced anesthesia management, and comprehensive post-operative monitoring. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your individual risk factors and explain how our protocols address each potential concern.

A professionally performed neck lift typically provides results lasting 10-15 years. While natural aging continues, the improvement achieved through surgery ages gracefully. Most patients find their neck contour remains significantly better than it would have been without surgery, even decades later.
Non-surgical options like radiofrequency, ultrasound, or injectables can provide temporary tightening lasting 1-2 years, but they cannot address significant skin excess or muscle banding. Surgical neck lift permanently removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and repositions tissues for dramatic, long-lasting improvement.
Most patients are surprised by how manageable the discomfort is. On a scale of 1-10, most rate their pain as 3-4 during the first few days. Advanced pain management protocols and prescription medication keep you comfortable throughout recovery.
Most patients can return to desk work within 7-10 days, though you'll want to avoid video calls for about 2 weeks while swelling and bruising subside. Physical jobs requiring lifting or bending may require 3-4 weeks off.
Skilled surgeons place incisions strategically behind the ears and in natural skin creases. While scars are permanent, they typically fade to thin, barely visible lines within 6-12 months. Most patients can wear their hair up confidently without visible scarring.
Absolutely. Many patients combine neck lift with facelift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures can be more cost-effective and reduces overall recovery time compared to separate surgeries.
Look for board certification, specific experience with facial surgery, hospital accreditation (JCI preferred), and transparent communication. Review before/after photos of actual patients and ensure the surgeon provides comprehensive consultation addressing your specific concerns.
Reputable clinics offer revision policies, though the need for revision is rare when surgery is performed by experienced surgeons. During consultation, discuss the clinic's policies regarding touch-ups or revisions to ensure you're comfortable with their approach.
When choosing accredited facilities with qualified surgeons, neck lift surgery in Turkey can be extremely safe. JCI-accredited hospitals maintain international safety standards, and many Turkish surgeons have training equal to or exceeding Western colleagues.
