Face & Neck Lift

Raising the Lower Face and Neck

A face and neck lift repositions tissue that has dropped along the cheek, jawline and neck. Skin is tightened, and the deeper layer is lifted where that will hold the result more reliably than skin tension alone.

• Jowls, a loose jawline and neck laxity are assessed as one profile.
• The deeper facial layer is lifted when skin-only tightening would look tight or fail early.
• Incisions are placed around the ear and, when needed, under the chin.

A Rested Facial Profile

The aim is a rested look, not a different identity. Volume loss, skin quality and muscle bands do not all respond to the same manoeuvre, so the operation is matched to the tissue causing the concern.

• Neck bands may need a separate tightening under the chin.
• Fat under the chin is reduced only when it adds to the heaviness.
• You are shown which lines a lift will not remove.

How the Lift Is Organised

Surgery is performed under anaesthesia. Drains or dressings may be used briefly. Swelling and tightness are expected, and the scar line is reviewed as it matures.

• The plan states whether the neck, the face, or both will be treated.
• Head elevation and limits on turning the neck are explained for the first days.
• Follow-up checks the incisions, swelling and the jaw-neck angle.

A face and neck lift at Estecenter in Istanbul is organised around the tissues that have descended, with anaesthesia discussed before surgery.
