Facial & Neck Procedure
Restore a defined jawline and smooth, youthful neck with expert neck lift surgery in Istanbul — performed by board-certified surgeons with luxury recovery and savings of up to 70% compared to US prices.
What It Is
A neck lift — medically known as lower rhytidectomy or cervicoplasty — is a precision surgical procedure that addresses the visible signs of aging in the neck and submental region. The neck is often the first area to betray your age, developing loose skin, vertical muscle bands, fat accumulation beneath the chin, and loss of the once-defined jawline contour.
Our surgeons combine skin excision, platysma muscle tightening, and targeted fat removal to restore a smooth, taut neck with a beautifully defined cervicomental angle. The result is a naturally youthful profile that matches your energy and vitality — eliminating the disconnect between how you feel and how your neck looks.
Common Concerns
Surgical Techniques
Focuses on removing excess skin from the neck to eliminate sagging and create a smoother, tighter neck contour. Incisions are discreetly placed behind the ears and under the chin. Ideal for patients whose primary concern is loose, hanging neck skin that creates a 'turkey neck' appearance.
Targets the platysma muscle — the thin sheet of muscle that runs from the chest to the jaw. As we age, this muscle separates and creates visible vertical bands in the neck. Platysmaplasty tightens and repositions this muscle to restore a smooth, defined neck and a sharp cervicomental angle.
Removes stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin and along the jawline using precision cannulas. Can be performed alone for patients with good skin elasticity or combined with a surgical neck lift for comprehensive contouring. Eliminates the double chin and restores jawline definition.
A more aggressive approach for patients with significant skin excess, combining cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty with corset platysmaplasty technique for maximum tightening. Creates the most dramatic improvement in neck contour and cervicomental angle definition.
The most comprehensive approach for patients seeking harmonious rejuvenation of both the lower face and neck. Addresses jowls, jawline laxity, and neck aging simultaneously. Ensures seamless, natural-looking results where the face and neck age in harmony rather than independently.

Platysmaplasty
"My neck made me look 15 years older than my face. I wore scarves and turtlenecks year-round to hide it. After my neck lift in Istanbul, the turkey neck is completely gone and my jawline is defined again. I can finally wear open necklines with confidence. The surgeon was meticulous — the scars behind my ears are invisible."

"As a 55-year-old man, my neck bands and double chin made me look heavy even though I'm in great shape. My surgeon combined platysmaplasty with submental liposuction and the transformation is remarkable. My jaw and neck look clean, defined, and masculine. My US surgeon quoted $14,000 — I paid $4,500 in Istanbul for a superior result."

"I had been considering a neck lift for years but the US pricing was prohibitive. The team in Istanbul made the entire process seamless — from the virtual consultation to the VIP airport transfer to the daily surgeon check-ins at my hotel. The results exceeded my expectations. My profile looks decades younger and completely natural."
Karen L.

"My neck lift was combined with a lower facelift and the results are extraordinary. The jowls, bands, and loose skin are all gone. I look like myself again — just a much younger, more defined version. The clinic was world-class, the care was exceptional, and the total cost was less than a third of what I was quoted in Miami."

Is It Right for You
Common Questions
A neck lift in Turkey typically costs between $2,500 and $5,500, compared to $6,000 to $15,000 in the United States. Our all-inclusive pricing covers surgeon fees, JCI-accredited facility, anesthesia, compression garments, aftercare, and your luxury hotel stay.
Absolutely. Turkey is one of the world's leading destinations for cosmetic surgery. Our surgeons operate in JCI-accredited facilities — the same international gold standard as top US medical centers. Every aspect of patient care, from anesthesia to post-operative monitoring, meets or exceeds American safety protocols.
Most neck lift patients are between 40 and 70, but there is no single ideal age. Younger patients in their 30s–40s may benefit from isolated submental liposuction, while patients with more significant skin laxity and platysmal banding typically see the best results from a full neck lift. The key factor is your anatomy, not your age.
A well-performed neck lift typically lasts 10–15 years. While you will continue to age naturally, you will always look significantly younger than if you had never had the procedure. Maintaining a stable weight and protecting your skin from sun damage helps preserve results long-term.
We recommend a stay of 7 to 10 days. This allows for your pre-operative consultation, surgery, initial healing, suture removal (typically day 5–7), and a final check-up before your flight home. Most patients feel comfortable flying after 7–8 days.
Neck lift incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and, when needed, beneath the chin in the natural submental crease. These scars heal remarkably well and become virtually invisible within a few months. They are easily concealed by hair and natural skin folds.
Yes. A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift, chin augmentation, or submental liposuction for comprehensive lower face and neck rejuvenation. Combining procedures maximizes results and means a single recovery period instead of multiple surgeries.
