Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) in Istanbul,Turkey

What is Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)?

Platysmaplasty or neck lift is a surgical operation that removes visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck area.

With neck lift surgery;

• Loose neck skin,
• Excess fat and skin loosening that causes jowl formation under the chin,
• Fat and muscle accumulation that causes abnormal layers on the neck can be eliminated.

The loss of youthful appearance in the face and neck area can occur even at an early age due to gravity, advancing age, genetic predisposition, malnutrition, and stress.

Where sagging and wrinkles appear in the face and neck region in advanced ages are removed with a full face and neck lift surgery. In contrast, the facial region maintains its tension, but there are cases where sagging and lubrication are observed in the neck region.

In this case, the desired appearance is achieved only by neck stretching.

It is also possible to perform non-surgical neck aesthetics, especially in middle-aged individuals, since there is no serious aesthetic deterioration in the neck region. While wrinkles are removed with Botox application, the lost volume is regained with dermal fillers.

How is Neck Lift Surgery Performed?

Neck lift surgeries are performed under sedation or general anesthesia. In this regard, your doctor, Op.Dr. Mehmet KÖKSAL will tell you the most suitable option for you.

In the classical method, an incision is made behind the ear and under the chin. After the fatty tissue and excess skin are removed, the muscle in this area is stretched. Then the skin is stretched to its original place, and the wound is closed by suturing.

Depending on the size of the operation, the surgery can also be performed by small incisions that can be made just behind the ear, but in this case, the aesthetic operation is limited.

How Long Does It Take to Heal After Neck Lift Surgery?

After neck lift surgery, bandages are applied to your face and neck to minimize swelling and bruising. It is normal to see swelling and bruising in the week following the surgery, but it will pass over time.
