A neck lift is an aesthetic operation that improves the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying neck muscle (platysma) and reducing fat deposits. It is ideal for sagging skin, deep neck lines and a “double chin” that makes you look older than you are.
Dr. Hakki Izmirli plans every neck lift individually according to your facial structure and neck anatomy; the goal is a natural-looking, refreshed result. You gain a smoother, firmer neck and a youthful jaw and neck line.
Neck Lift + Chin Liposuction
If there is noticeable fat under the chin or along the jawline, liposuction can be added to the neck lift. Precise removal of excess fat helps the remaining tissue tighten better and creates a sharper, more sculpted neckline.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Hakki about 6 months ago. Although it was an operation I had put off for years, Dr. Hakki’s approach and reassuring manner overcame all my fears. I had almost no pain after surgery and hardly any bruising. His attentiveness, the way he treats patients and how he kept following up after surgery really give you great confidence. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Before the operation he understood my questions and concerns. After a successful operation I could reach him whenever I wanted and was always met with attention and warmth. I thank Dr. Hakki for the care, sincerity and kindness he showed both before and after surgery.

A neck lift is performed under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting and takes about 2–3 hours. Pre-operative tests are done at the hospital on the morning of surgery.
Small, hidden incisions are made behind the ears and in the natural crease under the chin. Through these incisions the lax neck muscle is tightened, excess fat is removed and the skin is repositioned to create a smoother, younger neckline. If needed, fat under the chin is also reduced with liposuction. Meticulous technique keeps scarring to a minimum and achieves a natural result.
You stay in hospital for one night after surgery. Swelling, bruising and a feeling of tightness in the neck are normal and decrease within a few weeks. All instructions for your care will be explained to you in detail.
Most patients return to work and light activities within 1–2 weeks; strenuous exercise and demanding activities should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. The result becomes clearer as the swelling subsides, and the final appearance emerges within a few months. For our international patients, a stay of about 7 days in Istanbul is sufficient.
A neck lift gives results that last for many years. However, as natural ageing continues, minor touch-ups may be desired in later years to maintain the result.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery for more complete rejuvenation. The options that suit you are assessed together during the consultation.
The first changes are noticeable within a few weeks as the swelling starts to subside. As the neck fully heals, the final result appears within a few months, revealing a smoother, younger contour.
Yes. The aim is not an exaggerated or “pulled” look, but a rested and youthful appearance that preserves your features and expressions.
The incisions are placed in hidden areas such as behind the ears and under the chin, so the scars are very limited and easily concealed. Over time they become finer and almost unnoticeable.
Most patients return to work and light activities within 1–2 weeks. Strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and intense exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks to allow healing to progress well.
