Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, Nerve-Aware Technique
Addressing the Neck on Its Own Terms — Not as an Add-On to a Facelift.
A neck lift corrects the platysma muscle, the fat beneath the chin and the loose skin over both in one operation. Correcting only one of the three leaves the other two exactly where they were.
Documented outcomes, both standalone and combined with a facelift, shared with written patient consent. The first is the one worth studying: a neck corrected on its own, with the face left alone because it did not need lifting.

Muscle & Fat
Natural Clinic has treated more than 100,000 patients from over 80 countries, with 640+ neck lifts behind its facial surgery team — standalone and combined counted separately, because the interesting number is how often the neck was enough on its own. Accredited theatres and a dedicated anaesthesiology department sit in the same building.
1200+ — Advanced treatments across multiple medical specialties
50+ — Experienced specialists working across disciplines
360° — Consultation, treatment, recovery and aftercare coordinated under one roof
150+ — Large-scale medical infrastructure in Istanbul
Three structures, corrected in one operation: the platysma muscle, the fat beneath the chin, and the skin over both. Where the skin and the platysma have loosened, taking the fat out on its own leaves the neck looser than it was before — which is the mistake this page exists to prevent.
€4,000, the three corrections together
Platysmaplasty draws the two separated halves of the muscle back together and sutures them, which is what removes the vertical cords. The fat pad under the chin comes out through a small submental incision, restoring the jaw edge. Only then is the excess skin trimmed and re-draped, through an incision behind the ear.
Visible platysma banding, fullness under the chin or loose neck skin, with facial skin still holding its own position.
Half a night in hospital, six nights in Istanbul. The garment stays on for one to two weeks; the contour settles across three months.
Short answer: yes — and what to verify is honesty, not skill. The neck lift is the operation most often folded into a facelift nobody needed, so ask whether a clinic will quote the smaller one.

A neck lift can stand alone at €4,000 or join a facelift. Which one you need depends on what sits above the jaw.
Visible platysma bands, fat under the chin and loose skin each change what the operation involves.
The plan explains whether a standalone neck lift is enough, or whether jowls point to a facelift combination.
The two edges of the neck muscle are stitched together in the midline, then loose skin is drawn back behind the ears where the lines are hidden.
Keep the supportive dressing on as instructed; tightness and bruising along the jawline ease gradually.
The angle between chin and neck sharpens as tightness and numbness ease.
How a neck lift treats loose skin and muscle bands, alone or with a facelift.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens the platysma muscle in the neck, removes or redistributes excess fat and trims loose skin to create a firmer neck and a more defined jawline. It can be performed on its own or combined with a facelift when the lower face has also aged.
A neck lift addresses loose or sagging neck skin, visible vertical bands caused by separated platysma muscles, and excess fat under the chin that blurs the angle between the chin and neck. The combination of treatments used depends on which of these problems are present.
If the main concern is the neck itself, such as bands or loose skin, a standalone neck lift may be enough. If the jowls and lower face have also descended, combining a neck lift with a facelift usually gives a more balanced result, as the two areas are closely connected.
If your facial skin sags independently of the neck, these are the pages that matter next — and the technique depends on how far it has gone. The brow and eyelids are separate decisions that often belong in the same session.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send front, side and three-quarter photographs in even light, ideally including one with the chin slightly raised. A facial surgeon reviews your case and replies with a realistic, itemised plan — whether a standalone neck lift is the complete answer or the face needs lifting too, which of the three corrections your neck needs, what it costs with free transfers and the hotel arranged, and how many nights you'll be in Istanbul. No obligation, no pressure, no cost.
