Neck Lift

What is it?

Neck lift surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting the shape of the neck, eliminating signs of aging, excess skin, fat deposits, and muscle weakness.

The surgery helps make the neck more tightened, smooth, and youthful, restoring its aesthetic appearance.

What techniques are used for neck lift surgery?

Neck Liposuction

Recommended for patients with localized fat deposits and elastic skin

Performed through small incisions to remove fat

Platysmaplasty

Correction or tightening of the neck muscles (platysma)

Incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears, and the tightened muscles are fixed with sutures

Cervicoplasty

Removal of excess skin

Used to eliminate “turkey neck” or folds

Combined Neck Lift

Combines liposuction, skin removal, and platysma correction

Most commonly used for patients with significant age-related changes

Thread Neck Lift

Minimally invasive method of skin tightening using special threads

Suitable for patients with minimal signs of aging

What preparation is needed before neck lift surgery?

Preparation for a neck lift is an important stage that ensures the safety of the procedure, minimizes the risk of complications, and promotes successful recovery.

It includes:

Consultation with a plastic surgeon to assess skin condition, fat deposits, neck muscles, and overall facial proportions, determining the feasibility of the procedure and technique selection

Consultation with an anesthesiologist regarding the type of anesthesia and preparation for it

Medical examination: complete blood count, urinalysis, blood clotting evaluation, ECG, and other tests if necessary

What are the contraindications for neck lift surgery?

Infectious or inflammatory processes

Uncontrolled chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, etc.)

Blood clotting disorders

Tendency to form keloid scars

How is neck lift surgery performed?

01 Anesthesia

Local or general, depending on the extent of the procedure

02 Skin Incisions

Made behind the ears, under the chin, or along natural folds to reduce scar visibility

03 Tissue Correction

Removal of excess fat, skin tightening, and platysma correction

04 Closure of Incisions

Incisions are sutured with cosmetic stitches or skin glue

05 Fixation

A compression bandage is applied to the neck after surgery to reduce swelling and fix tissues

What is the recovery process after neck lift surgery?

01 First Days

Possible swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort

Wearing a compression bandage is recommended for 1–2 weeks

02 First Week

Physical activity and sudden head movements should be avoided

The final result becomes visible 1–2 months after complete tissue healing.
