One of the most important areas that affect both body and face appearance is the neck area. Face – neck harmony is among the important factors that affect how the overall aesthetic appearance will be. Therefore, it is very important for many people to achieve a vigorous, aesthetic and taut neck appearance. However, with the effect of various situations such as aging or weight gain and loss, the need for neck stretching occurs. It is very difficult and in some cases impossible to stretch the neck with methods such as exercise. However, thanks to neck aesthetics, neck stretching can become quite easy.
Neck lift is an intervention that is handled within the scope of neck aesthetics and performed to improve the appearance of the neck. Within the scope of neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty, effective aesthetic procedures such as neck line clarification and under-chin recovery are performed. Each of these procedures are approved procedures that are suitable for different patient profiles and provide advantages in various aspects. Thanks to procedures such as jowl removal applied together with neck lift, it becomes possible for the individual to achieve a much younger, striking and aesthetic appearance.
Neck lift surgery is a surgery for neck rejuvenation and beautification. This surgery is especially applied to people who have a bulk jowl appearance due to genetic factors, who have neck sagging problems due to excessive weight gain and loss, and who are uncomfortable with the appearance in the neck area due to the loss of skin elasticity with the advancement of age. However, there are different patient profiles for neck lift surgery as well as different application methods. These methods are effective methods that address different patient profiles, that is, different problems.
Neck lift surgery is an operation that can be seen suitable for many different patient profiles. Every individual may need neck aesthetics for various reasons. The neck area is a very sensitive area that is often in direct contact with abrasive factors such as sun rays. Therefore, the possibility of wrinkles, sagging and a non-aesthetic appearance in the neck area is quite high. An appearance with these factors is an uncomfortable and self-confidence-damaging appearance for many people, and individuals who want to get rid of this appearance can benefit from the neck lift operation within the scope of neck aesthetics, unless there are extreme situations.
As with any surgical intervention, there are some candidate criteria for neck lift operation. Candidate criteria for neck lift can be explained in a few articles.
There are several situations where neck lift surgery is not suitable. The first situation is, of course, that the patient is under 18 years of age. Under 18 years of age is a situation that is not suitable for neck lift surgery both in terms of legal aspects and in terms of obtaining effect from the operation. In addition, the fact that the individual is pregnant or breastfeeding is also considered as an obstacle to neck stretching in order not to risk the health of both the individual and his/her baby.
There are more than one method that can be considered as neck lift methods. Neck lift surgery is usually performed to meet aesthetic needs and desires. Therefore, methods suitable for the patient should be preferred in neck lift surgeries. For example, for an individual who wants to have neck lift surgery to achieve face-neck harmony, a method that will help to achieve jaw line harmony between the face and neck should be preferred. For an individual who has a regional adiposity problem and wants to get rid of it, the method of jowl removal with liposuction can be preferred.
The classical neck lift method, which is the most preferred neck lift method, is effective in many areas. In the classical neck lift method, procedures are performed by making an incision in the area behind the ear or in the area known as the double chin. These procedures include procedures such as removing excess skin and tightening the skin in the area for the purpose of jowl removal.
In the endoscopic neck lift method, endoscopic cameras are used, as the name of the method can be understood. Thanks to these cameras, small incisions are made around the jowl or behind the ear and imaging is provided with the camera and with the imaging, it becomes possible to tighten the tissues and remove excess tissue. Endoscopic neck lift is a more modern and minimal method compared to the classical neck lift method.
Neck lift surgery has more than one advantage. The neck area is one of the most important areas for many people because the neck greatly affects the appearance of both the general body and the face. Therefore, many people make great efforts to achieve an aesthetic appearance in the neck area. However, it is very difficult to get effective results with methods such as exercises or non-surgical aesthetic applications in the neck area. Therefore, it may be much more logical to achieve advantageous results by turning to neck stretching, which is a surgical method for neck aesthetics.
One of the biggest advantages of neck lift surgery is that it offers a young and tight neck appearance. The neck area is an area where problems such as sagging and regional fat, which both cause aesthetic problems and cause an old appearance, are frequently encountered. Therefore, it is very important and advantageous to achieve a young, tight and aesthetic appearance in this area. Neck aesthetics helps to achieve this advantageous and important appearance easily.
One of the main reasons why neck lift surgery is preferred is that it helps to eliminate sagging under the chin and in the jowl area. Sagging occurs in the under-chin and jowl area due to reasons such as weight gain and loss or aging. It is almost impossible to eliminate these sagging by means such as exercise because the main condition that causes sagging is usually excess and sagging skin tissue. Removing this tissue with procedures within the scope of neck lift surgery, such as jowl removal, helps to gain an advantage by achieving an aesthetic appearance in the under-chin and jowl area.
As with any surgical operation, it is necessary to go through a healing process after neck lift surgery. During this recovery period, there are some things that should and should not be done. These things can be determined by the doctor depending on the general health condition of the patient and the methods used for neck lift. However, in general, there are some basic information about the recovery process after neck lift surgery. This basic information can be explained under several headings.
There are do’s and don’ts to take care of the surgical site and support the healing process after neck lift surgery. These dos and don’ts can be discussed in a few points.
There is no need to make an extra effort to reduce the scars after neck lift surgery. The incisions that will cause scars in neck lift surgeries are usually made in areas that are not very visible, such as behind the ears. Therefore, even the scars that will remain in these areas will not be disturbing because they are not visible. However, if you feel uncomfortable even though the scars are not visible, you can use highly effective scar removal creams or laser treatments.
The duration of neck lift surgery is determined depending on various factors such as the preferred neck lift method. Various factors such as the application method and the aesthetic needs of the patient can lead to the neck lift surgery to be completed in a long or short time. However, in general, neck lift surgeries performed with classical techniques take 2 – 3 hours on average. Endoscopic neck lift surgeries, on the other hand, are completed within 1 – 2 hours on average. In addition to all these, if you are going to have a neck lift surgery and want to get more accurate information about the duration of the surgery, you can consult the doctor who will perform your surgery.
Whether there will be a scar after neck lift surgery depends on the situation. The reason for scarring from any surgery, including neck lift, is the incisions made. Factors such as the location and size of these incisions determine whether the incisions will cause an uncomfortable scar formation. In neck lift surgeries, the incisions made to intervene in the area are usually located in invisible areas such as under the ear and the jowl area. Therefore, even if scars remain due to the incisions, these scars can be successfully hidden in areas that are not visible.
Neck lift can be performed together with facelift. Neck lift and facelift are two different surgical procedures that can be combined. Both procedures make both the facial appearance and the general body appearance more aesthetic. Neck lift and facelift can be performed together thanks to the incisions made in areas such as behind the ears. In this way, it becomes possible for the individual to achieve a much more aesthetic, youthful and vigorous appearance than they can achieve with a single procedure. For this reason, it is recommended that individuals who want to benefit from neck lift and face lift procedures should contact plastic surgery specialists and request a combination of these two procedures.
How long the neck skin stays young may vary from person to person. How long any area, including the neck, will look young depends on factors such as genetic factors, the correct use of skin care products and lifestyle. Therefore, some people may experience signs of aging in the neck area in their late 20s, while others may experience this in their 30s. However, in general, aging in the neck area starts towards the end of the 30s and can become disturbing.
There is an idea that neck lift procedure can only be applied to female patients. However, this idea is actually a misconception. Many procedures that are thought to be applied only to women, including neck lift, can actually be applied to men. Many men who pay attention to their appearance and want to get rid of disturbing problems such as sagging skin achieve advantageous results by taking advantage of neck aesthetics. In addition, the neckline-defining effect of the neck lift procedure is very advantageous as it can lead to a much more masculine appearance in men.
The time to return to social life after neck lift surgery varies depending on many different factors such as the general health status of the patient, the method used for surgery and the conditions under which the surgery is performed. However, in general, neck lift surgeries are not operations with a very long recovery period and do not restrict the patient from social life for a long time. People who have neck lift surgery can return to social life within a few weeks as a result of not facing any complications and obtaining the doctor’s approval.
