Restore a Youthful Neck Contour, Eliminate Sagging Skin, and Redefine Your Jawline

Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) in Turkey is one of the most advanced cosmetic surgery procedures for individuals seeking a sharper jawline, smoother neck contours, and long-lasting facial rejuvenation. At Medical Park Hospitals, patients receive internationally accredited care, modern surgical techniques, and comprehensive medical tourism packages tailored for safety, comfort, and exceptional aesthetic outcomes.

The neck is one of the first areas to reveal visible signs of aging. Loose skin, vertical neck bands, excess fat deposits, and reduced muscle tone can create a prematurely aged appearance. A professionally performed neck lift surgery tightens the platysma muscle, removes excess skin, and restores youthful definition.

🩺 What Is a Necklift?

A Neck Lift, medically known as Platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline area.

The procedure focuses on:

✔️ Tightening the weakened platysma muscle
✔️ Removing excess sagging skin
✔️ Eliminating localized fat deposits
✔️ Correcting vertical neck bands
✔️ Restoring a defined cervicomental angle (neck-to-chin angle)

The platysma is a thin, sheet-like muscle extending from the collarbone to the jaw. Over time, aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations cause this muscle to separate and weaken, resulting in visible bands and skin laxity.

The results are long-lasting and can maintain a youthful neck contour for up to 10 years with proper lifestyle maintenance.

Types of Necklift Surgery


Traditional Neck Lift
This comprehensive approach addresses moderate to severe sagging.

✔️ Tightens platysma muscle extensively
✔️ Removes significant excess skin
✔️ Ideal for advanced aging signs
✔️ Often combined with facelift

Mini Neck Lift
A less invasive option for mild to moderate skin laxity.

✔️ Smaller incisions
✔️ Shorter recovery time
✔️ Ideal for younger patients
✔️ Subtle yet noticeable contour improvement

Neck Lift with Liposuction
Best for patients with excess fat under the chin.

✔️ Removes stubborn submental fat
✔️ Enhances jawline definition
✔️ Often combined with muscle tightening
✔️ Improves double chin appearance

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for neck lift (platysmaplasty) in Turkey if you:

✔️ Are in good overall health
✔️ Have visible neck bands or sagging skin
✔️ Experience poor jawline definition
✔️ Have excess fat beneath the chin
✔️ Maintain stable body weight
✔️ Have realistic expectations

    I had an excellent experience throughout my entire treatment journey. From the initial consultation, the preparation before the procedure, the surgery itself, and the post-operative follow-up, Dr. Bugra Cetin demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. What impressed me the most was Dr. Bugra Cetin’s willingness to answer all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. He was always available for consultation before and after the procedure, making me feel comfortable, well-informed, and confident every step of the way. The outcome of my treatment exceeded my expectations. I am truly satisfied with the results and deeply appreciate Dr. Bugra Cetin’s skill and attention to detail. I would also like to sincerely thank Yahya Baban, who provided outstanding assistance from the beginning until the end of my journey. He was always responsive, kind, and incredibly helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly and making me feel well cared for throughout the entire process. The hospital facilities were modern, clean, and comfortable, while the entire medical team was professional, friendly, and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Bugra Cetin and his team to anyone seeking high-quality medical care. Thank you once again for the exceptional experience and outstanding service.

    I had a good experience getting seen by a Consultant Endocrinologist for ~£110 or €125 with availability on the same day. In particular, Yahya in the International Office was brilliantly attentive; an excellent translator (still very useful even though the consultant spoke fair English) who was medically literate with a clinical background. Yahya was organised & had all my notes & paperwork prepared in advance despite sending to him last minute. The hospital & international office staff were all accommodating & friendly & even went above & beyond to help a stray kitten that wandered into the building. I felt in very safe hands!
