The neck area can sag, wrinkle and become oily over time with aging, gravity and weight changes. This causes uncertainty, especially under the chin and neck line, and makes the person look older than he is. Neck rejuvenation procedures; It is accomplished by removing excess fat in this area, repairing loosened muscles and recovering sagging skin.
Neck lift is a surgical method that provides long-term effects and is generally preferred by patients over the age of 40. While liposuction may be sufficient if there is only fat deposits at an early age, thread suspension may be preferred for mild sagging. In cases where skin elasticity decreases and muscle structure deteriorates, classical neck lift surgery is performed. This procedure can sometimes be combined with a facelift.
The surgeon removes excess skin through incisions made in invisible areas such as in front and behind the ear, repairs the muscles and, if necessary, supports the jawline with filler or prosthesis. The surgery takes 1.5–2 hours under general anesthesia. Liposuction and thread suspension procedures are performed under local anesthesia and discharge is possible on the same day. It is recommended that the patient stay in the hospital for 1 day after the surgical procedure.
During the healing process, edema and bruising decrease within the first week. Bandages are usually used for 3–7 days, and drains are removed after 1–2 days. In approximately 2-3 months, the face settles completely and the patient has a younger, tighter and more prominent neckline.
When performed with the correct technique, neck lift results are preserved for many years. However, as the aging process continues, slight loosening may occur over time. Smoking, long-term exposure to the sun and weight gain or loss may negatively affect this process.
