Why the neck needs special attention
A lifted face above a loose neck looks unfinished, and a tightened neck below heavy jowls looks odd. The skill in a face and neck lift lies in treating both as one area, so the jawline flows cleanly into the neck. That requires a surgeon who understands the platysma muscle, the fat layers under the chin and how the neck skin redrapes behind the ear.
At New City Clinic this work is done by Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery with a strong background in reconstructive and microsurgical work.
Questions about the neck plan
Ask the surgeon to explain what will be done on your neck and why:
- Will the platysma muscle be tightened, and through what incision?
- Will fat under the chin be removed, and how much?
- How will the neck skin be redraped, and where will the scars lie?
- Is a chin implant or fat transfer worth considering for my profile?
- How long will I wear the compression strap?
Seeing the surgeon in person
The answers shape both your result and your recovery. Tightening the platysma, for example, is what softens vertical neck bands, while removing fat under the chin deals with fullness. Not every neck needs every step, and a good surgeon will explain why some are or are not included in your plan. New City Clinic writes this into your plan, so you can review it calmly before you travel.
You receive a written plan from your photos first, so you know the technique, the hospital and the number of nights before booking. In Istanbul you meet the surgeon for a full examination, with an interpreter if you need one, and the plan is confirmed after tests and the anaesthesia assessment.
Bring a side-on photo of yourself from years ago if you have one. It helps the surgeon understand the jawline you remember, and it gives you both a shared point of reference.
The clinic behind the surgeon
A face and neck lift needs a hospital that can manage a longer anaesthetic and overnight monitoring. New City Clinic works with licensed private hospitals in Istanbul, including Medicana, Acıbadem, Medipol, Medical Park, Biruni and Rumeli, and the hospital is named in your quote.
The organisation is Health Türkiye authorised and holds TÜRSAB licence no. 17659. You can find the surgeon’s profile and the hospital list on the official website, newcityclinic.com.
If you have had previous neck treatments, such as injections to dissolve fat or thread lifts, mention them so the surgeon can plan around any changes in the tissues.
