After the incision made behind the ear, the neck skin is lifted from both sides until the midline.

For the first few nights, it is important to sleep in a slightly sitting position with a high pillow in order to prevent edema. The patient is discharged the next day. It is normal to have facial swelling and mild bruising for about two weeks. A special face corset is used during this time. At the end of two weeks, the remaining stitches are removed if they have not dissolved. On the fifth postoperative day, the patient is allowed to wash his face. Positive results of the surgery begin to be seen with the reduction of swelling. The result of the successful neck lift surgery is extremely satisfactory for the patients and the results of the surgery are permanent.
