The neck, which anatomically connects the head and body, is located in the lower part of the facial area and has aesthetic value that complements facial aesthetics. The area under the chin, also defined as the double chin, is the first place where fat is collected in weight gain. Even in people who are not obese, slight weight gain leads to fat in the jowl shadow. With jowl fat, the angle of the chin is erased, and in advanced fat deposits, the chin and neck become united. Although this area can recover very easily by losing the weight gained, it cannot resist the effects of aging and aging on the face. With the release of the neck muscles, loosening, sagging and wrinkling occur in the neck. The appearance of the neck area, which is worn, wrinkled and loose, is regained with neck lift surgery.

Neck Aesthetics

Several different surgeries can be performed for neck aesthetics within aesthetic surgery.
Liposuction can be applied to this area if there is fat in the jowl area on the neck, if there is no loosening of the neck muscles and skin. It can be applied to people who are not advanced in age and slightly overweight and gives good results.

Recovering neck muscles: It is a technique applied in neck problems that occur as a result of fat under the chin and relaxation of the muscles in the jowl area. The tissues under the chin are reached by cutting 2.5-3 cm from the lower part of the chin. Excess fat in this area is cut and removed. Loosened muscles under the chin and in the neck area are tightened by bringing them closer together. The incision is closed with aesthetic hidden stitches.

Neck lift surgery: It is a technique applied to people with wrinkles and wrinkles on the neck skin by removing excess skin and stretching it. As in the classical facelift surgery, the skin circulating from the front of the ear around the lower edge of the earlobe to the back of the ear is cut and the part of the neck skin up to the bottom of the chin is lifted. The lifted skin is stretched towards the ear edge. The excess edges of the skin are cut and removed. The edges of the skin are sewn together again and closed.

Suspension techniques: In recent years, ready-made tissue suspension materials with spiny protrusions have also started to be used for neck surgery. These materials, which are placed in the neck area through a small incision, hold the surrounding tissues thanks to their spiny protrusions, and when they are pulled upwards and sutured, the tissues held are also stretched upwards. For patients with relaxed neck muscles and wrinkled skin, or for patients with fat accumulation only under the chin, the use of hanging materials alone is not sufficient. In addition, either neck lift or liposuction techniques should be applied.

Neck aesthetic surgery is performed in an adequately equipped hospital and operating room environment. Local or general anesthesia may be preferred depending on the technique to be applied. Although the duration of surgery varies according to the technique to be applied, it usually takes 1-2 hours. If neck lift surgery is performed, a plastic tube called a drain is placed, which draws out the blood accumulated under the skin. You can return home after the drain, which stays in for about 1 day, is removed the next day. If liposuction is applied, there is no need to place a drain. After the neck aesthetic surgery, an elastic bandage is wrapped around the face or an elastic mask that serves the same function is worn to ensure that the tissues under the chin adhere to the ground and fuse. It is enough to keep the bandage or mask for 1 week. There is not much pain complaint after neck stretching. The mild pain that may occur is easily bearable and can be easily stopped with painkillers. After the surgery, there is swelling in the neck area, which we call edema, and there may be bruising in places. Swelling and bruises will resolve within 7-10 days. If stretching surgery has been performed, tension and slight numbness may be felt in the neck skin. The numbness is temporary, as the skin begins to fuse to the ground, the numbness improves. It takes a few months for the neck shape to fully settle. Neck aesthetics is not a surgery that binds the person to the bed. You can spend the recovery period standing. You can do all your daily work and spend your day outside your home. A few days after the surgery, you will be able to travel and travel by plane. A few weeks after the neck surgery, the real effect of the surgery will be revealed and you will notice a striking beauty in the aesthetic appearance of your neck.
