Necklift Surgery
Neck Lift in Turkey – Restore Youthful Definition with Dr. Baran Kul
A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a facial contouring procedure designed to tighten loose skin, remove excess fat, and redefine the jawline and neck area. It is especially effective for addressing signs of aging such as sagging skin, double chin, and neck banding. The procedure typically involves liposuction, muscle tightening, and skin lifting to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck profile — all without altering your natural expression. With Dr. Baran Kul’s refined techniques and deep understanding of facial harmony, patients achieve elegant, natural-looking results that rejuvenate their appearance while maintaining individual character. Neck lift surgery is often combined with facelift, chin liposuction, or eyelid surgery for full facial rejuvenation.

What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that tightens and lifts the skin and muscles of the neck. It helps reduce visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, excess fat under the chin, wrinkling, and loss of jawline definition.
The goal is to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck and jawline, restoring harmony to the lower face without changing your natural expression.
Who is a Neck Lift for?
A neck lift may be a good option for:
– Individuals with loose, sagging skin or “turkey neck” appearance
– Those with excess fat or skin under the chin (double chin)
– Patients bothered by vertical neck bands or wrinkles
– People with good general health and realistic expectations
– Anyone seeking facial rejuvenation without a full facelift
It is a contouring and rejuvenation procedure, not a method for weight loss.
How is the Procedure Performed?
A neck lift is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
The surgeon makes incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin to access and tighten the platysma muscle, remove excess fat (often via liposuction), and trim or lift the skin.
The incisions are carefully closed to minimize visible scarring.
The surgery typically takes 2 to 3 hours, and most patients return home the same day or stay one night for monitoring if combined with other procedures such as facelift or eyelid surgery.

These real before & after results showcase not only visible rejuvenation, but also enhanced facial harmony and restored self-confidence. Each procedure is precisely tailored to the individual’s anatomy, resulting in natural, balanced outcomes that redefine the jawline and restore a refreshed appearance.
What is the Recovery Like?
– Most patients can return to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days
– A supportive chin strap or compression garment is typically worn for 1 to 2 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing
– Keeping the head elevated and avoiding twisting or heavy neck movements is important in the early days
– Swelling, bruising, and tightness around the neck and jawline are common but improve gradually
– Patients are advised to sleep on their back with the head elevated for optimal healing
Discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients feel significantly better after the first week.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes — the results of a neck lift are long-lasting, especially when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
While aging continues naturally, the tightened tissues and improved contours typically last 10 years or more, and many patients retain a rejuvenated appearance well beyond that.
Are There Any Risks?
As with all surgical procedures, a neck lift carries some potential risks, such as:
– Infection
– Scarring
– Nerve injury (temporary numbness or tightness)
– Hematoma (blood collection under the skin)
– Asymmetry or uneven contour
Working with a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Baran Kul helps minimize these risks and ensures a safe, natural-looking outcome.
Summary
A neck lift is an effective and elegant solution for reducing visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. It restores definition, smoothness, and balance — helping patients look as youthful on the outside as they feel inside.
