Before & after
Real neck lift and jawline results by Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman at IME Clinic, Istanbul.
A defined, youthful jawline by EBOPRAS-certified Prof. Dr. Atacan Emre Koçman. A neck lift tightens sagging neck skin, removes a double chin and smooths the turkey neck for a naturally rejuvenated profile.
Free Video ConsultationA neck lift (platysmaplasty combined with a lower rhytidectomy) tightens loose, sagging skin of the neck, removes excess fat beneath the chin and tightens the platysma muscle to restore a smooth, defined neck and jawline. It corrects the turkey neck, vertical neck bands and a heavy or undefined jawline.
By repositioning deeper tissues rather than only trimming skin, a modern neck lift produces a natural, long-lasting result that restores harmony between the face and neck — without an over-tightened look.
A neck lift focuses on the neck and jawline, while a facelift addresses the mid and lower face. Many patients combine both for a fully balanced result.

Return to normal daily activities and light work; the jawline contour becomes clearer.
Swelling fully resolves and the final, defined neck and jawline settle.
Recommended stay in Istanbul after surgery for international patients, with post-op reviews.
