Neck Lift Surgery

How Does Neck Lift Surgery Work?

The procedure involves several steps, each meticulously planned and executed to achieve optimal results.

Step 1: Consultation and Customization

• Comprehensive Assessment: Dr. Ulaş Bali evaluates the patient’s neck structure, skin elasticity, and specific concerns.
• Personalized Plan: A tailored surgical approach is developed, addressing areas like fat deposits, skin laxity, or muscle weakness.

Step 2: Preparation

• Marking the Area: Surgical areas are carefully marked to guide precise execution.
• Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Step 3: Surgical Procedure

• Incisions: Discreet incisions are made behind the ears or under the chin to minimize visible scarring.
• Fat Removal: Liposuction techniques are employed to remove excess fat, refining the contours of the neck.
• Muscle Tightening: The platysma muscle is adjusted and secured to create a firmer, more youthful neck structure.
• Skin Repositioning: Excess skin is trimmed and redraped to achieve a smooth, natural finish.

Step 4: Closure and Recovery
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and compression garments are applied to support healing and maintain the new contours.
