Neck Lift
Frequently asked questions
How long does the neck lift last?
Results may last for 10 to 15 years depending on individual factors such as skin condition, age, and lifestyle. Most patients retain a more freshened neck contour for several years after surgery.
For how long should I stay in Istanbul after my neck lift surgery?
The stay in Istanbul after the operation is 8 to 10 days, needed for the patient to obtain good follow-up with Dr. Tolga Çakıl and for their recovery to be good enough to travel home
Is Neck Lift Surgery Painful?
The surgical procedure is done under general anesthesia. Therefore, during the operation, patients do not feel any pain. After the operation, most of them can experience very minimal discomfort; this can be controlled by the prescribed pain medication.
Will I have to stay overnight in the hospital?
Yes, most patients do stay overnight for observation post-surgery; this helps in giving immediate postoperative care and comfortable initiation of recovery.
Are visible scars left after a neck lift?
Dr. Tolga Çakıl strategically places incisions behind the ears and under the chin, ensuring they remain discreet and minimally visible. As the scars heal, they blend naturally with the surrounding contours, making them barely noticeable and allowing for a smooth, refined appearance.
