Neck Lift

The name of the procedure performed to eliminate the signs of aging in the neck area is a neck lift operation. The aim of this procedure, which can be applied to both men and women, is to rejuvenate the aging neck and jowl area. The neck area is sensitive and has more skin than other areas.

This area can start to wrinkle and sag even at an early age due to problems such as malnutrition, failure to consume enough water and not exercising. Preventing such situations is sometimes not possible with natural methods. You can undergo a neck lift operation to get rid of excess neck skin in a more permanent and more professional way. The procedure starts from the bottom of the neck to the earlobe.

The neck area has an extremely sensitive skin. Therefore, the procedure should be performed by a specialist doctor. After performing all the necessary tests and examination on the neck, we move on to drawing, photographing the neck and then using the necessary method.

How is a Neck Lift done?

The neck lift operation is done because the neck area is a sensitive area with thick skin that starts to age much faster than other areas. In particular, more wrinkles and sagging occur in the area due to aging. Both men and women can have a neck lift operation to prevent this.

We work on the area extending from the bottom of the neck to the earlobe area. First, we determine the amount of fat to be removed. Then we measure what kind of result will be obtained when the lifting process is performed. Then, we proceed to treat the whole area, including the areas extending under the chin and the jowl area. Our patients do not feel any pain and suffering during the procedure we perform using general anesthesia.

The results look quite successful and natural. After making incisions, we remove excess fat, perform the lifting process and then proceed to stitch. We also take care that the stitches do not leave scars and are in the invisible area. Thanks to this operation, it is also very easy to achieve the golden ratio. Since it is a sensitive area and needs to be treated very meticulously and carefully, the procedure can take approximately 4-5 hours.

Who is Neck Lift Suitable for?

Neck lift operation is suitable for both genders, men and women. However, the patient must be over the age of 18. Individuals over 18 years of age with deep wrinkles and sagging in the neck area can apply for a neck lift. In general, sagging and wrinkles begin to form in the neck area from the age of 15.

However, wrinkles and sagging may also occur in younger age groups due to factors such as malnutrition and inadequate water consumption, lack of exercise and yoga, alcohol and excessive caffeine consumption, or improper use of cosmetics. In such cases, you can have a lifting procedure without hesitation and worry and have a very young looking neck, jowl and chin area. We always strive to satisfy our patients.

What Should Be Considered Before a Neck Lift?

All anticoagulants and food and beverages that increase blood flow should be avoided for a period of time before neck lift surgery. Aspirin should not be taken before the operation and smoking should be stopped. Since any kind of hairdressing procedure after the operation is not recommended, all necessary personal care should be done before the operation.

Chemical dyes and similar cosmetic products should not be used. Hair cutting is not recommended  after the procedure to keep the scars completely hidden and to cover the dressing. Alcohol and caffeine-containing beverages should be avoided for at least 3 weeks before the operation.

Things to Know After a Neck Lift

Fluid may need to be drained from behind the ear after neck lift surgery, which we perform very carefully. The edema accumulated behind the ear should be removed by a specialist doctor. At the same time, the drain placed during the procedure must be removed after one day. You should definitely be in contact with our doctor for this procedure to be performed and go to the dressing without delay or postponement.

At the same time, you should pay close attention to the stitches after the operation and avoid all impact. Chemical substances should be avoided and caffeine should not be consumed. anticoagulant pills and foods should be avoided for a while. Extreme caution should be exercised when applying make-up and care.

What are the Risks of Neck Lifting?

Of course, there are some risks in the neck lift procedure, which is a very sensitive procedure. However, all complications are minimized in our clinic. All risks are communicated to our patients in the finest detail. Although it is very rare, mild bleeding may occur in the area after the operation.

If care is not taken, infection and inflammation can occur in the area. As a result of incorrectly stitched stitches, scars that cannot be hidden and especially bad looking scars can occur in the area. If the points to be considered before the operation are ignored, successful results may not be achieved if products such as alcohol and smoking are consumed. Nerve damage can occur as a result of a wrong move and such damage can deeply affect the motor and sensory nerves.

Since the area is pulled up and stretched, some hair loss may occur very rarely. At the same time, factors such as weight loss, tension and aging can also occur as long-term effects. However, the likelihood of all risks is very low if the patient is careful, avoids exposure to the sun, pays attention to nutrition and follows the rules to be followed during the healing process.

What Neck Lifting Techniques are available?

Neck lifting techniques, in which we achieve the golden ratio with or without surgery, vary from doctor to doctor. However, the most standard technique is to remove excess fat from the neck and tighten the skin. Thus, the most successful results are obtained without any pain and complications.
