APPOINTMENT REQUEST FORM
The effects of time and gravity are most evident in the neck area. No matter how young the face may look, sagging neck skin, prominent vertical bands, and a lost jawline can make a person look older and more tired. Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer, with his international surgical experience and unparalleled mastery of facial anatomy, restores deformities in the neck area with a natural appearance.
The Key to a Young and Dynamic Profile
What is Neck Lift; Platysmaplasty?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat tissue from the area extending from the jawbone to the collarbone, and tightens sagging muscles. This surgical intervention permanently eliminates the “turkey neck” appearance and sagging in the chin area.
Why Is a Neck Lift Surgery Needed?
- Chin Sagging: Fat accumulation caused by genetic factors or weight changes.
- Muscle Relaxation: A vertical “band” appearance resulting from the separation of neck muscles.
- Jawline Loss: The jawline area becoming indistinct and merging with the neck.
- Excess Skin: Skin losing its elasticity with age, forming folds.
Personalized Approach with Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer
A neck lift is not just about tightening the skin; it requires the proper management of the complex anatomical structures underlying it: salivary glands, muscles, and fat pads.
- Holistic Profile Management: As a specialist in Oral, Maxillofacial, and Craniofacial Surgery, Dr. Tezer often combines a neck lift with chin augmentation or a facelift to provide a complete profiloplasty.
- Minimal Scar Technology: Incision lines are hidden behind the ear and within the hairline, making the surgical intervention undetectable from the outside.
- Functional Safety: His professorship in the ENT field guarantees the highest level of protection for vital nerve and vascular structures in the area.
Neck Lift Surgery Process and Recovery
- Operation: Performed under general anesthesia, lasting 2-4 hours depending on the patient’s needs.
- Recovery: A special neck bandage is used for the first few days. Swelling and bruising usually subside rapidly within 7-10 days.
- Result: The final results of the surgery become clear from the 3rd month onwards, once the swelling has completely subsided, and restore the dynamism of the face from years ago.
Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Lift Surgery
It is generally suitable for patients aged 40 and over with significant sagging. However, successful results can be obtained at earlier ages in patients who experience sagging of the chin at a younger age due to genetic reasons.
If there is only fat accumulation and skin elasticity is good, liposuction may be sufficient. However, if there is skin sagging and muscle laxity, a facelift is necessary for a permanent solution.
A neck lift won’t stop the aging process, but it will significantly turn back the clock. The results can last for 10-15 years, depending on lifestyle and skin quality.
