Who is it suitable for?
It is suitable for male and female patients over 40 years of age with neck contour distortion, double chin formation, horizontal wrinkles or vertical bands. It is usually combined with facelift, but it can also be applied alone.
Applied Techniques
Subcutaneous platysma muscle laxity is repaired, excess skin is removed, and if there is fat under the chin, it is supported by liposuction. The incision line is hidden under the chin and behind the ear.
Neck lift surgery aims to create a firmer, younger and more prominent neck line by removing sagging and excess skin in the under-chin and neck area.
