TURKEY NECK
LIFT

Achieve a smooth, youthful neckline that addresses
the root causes of age-related neck wrinkles. TURKEY NECK LIFT Led by Chief Director Dr. Insoo Kirk, with 20 years of surgical expertise,
we identify the underlying causes of wrinkles and perform optimized
procedures tailored to each patient.

Prologue

PREMIUM ANTI-AGING ONUL l PLASTIC SURGERY

We correct vertical neck lines by targeting their fundamental
causes with the most effective surgical techniques.
With advanced anatomical knowledge, we strengthen weakened platysma muscles
and tighten sagging skin, delivering complete correction for loose and aged-looking necks.
Turkey neck develops as the skin around the neck begins to sag, fat accumulates under the chin, and most notably,
as the platysma muscle—the primary support of the neck—stretches and separates. For this reason,
it cannot be effectively treated with routine procedures such as Botox or fillers.
Our turkey neck lift refines the entire area from under the chin, where the platysmal bands are most prominent,
down to the suprasternal notch (the hollow above the collarbone), creating a beautifully smooth neckline.
Unlike standard double chin surgery, which only focuses under the chin, this advanced procedure corrects
vertical neck bands along the full length of the neck. Because of its complexity and wide surgical range,
the skill and experience of the medical team are critical.

Key Advantages of Turkey Neck Lift There’s a reason we take pride in our turkey neck lift.
Discover the difference today.

Precise Diagnosis for a Personalized Design

Precise Diagnosis for a Personalized Design

Using X-rays and facial ultrasound, we create a customized surgical plan tailored to each
individual. We carefully assess the thickness of fat, degree of skin sagging, muscle laxity,
and salivary gland enlargement to ensure safe and effective results.
The outcome can be confirmed immediately after surgery with X-ray imaging.

Long-Lasting Results with Proven Effectiveness

Long-Lasting Results with Proven Effectiveness

With extensive experience and advanced surgical expertise, we deliver reliable results through
precise dissection and secure fixation. Unlike the face, the neck does not have a SMAS layer.
As the SMAS transitions into muscle below the face, the surgical method for the neck differs
from a traditional facelift. Chief Director Dr. Insoo Kirk, an expert in contouring and lifting
procedures, performs surgery with anatomical precision and a delicate sense of balance
for natural facial lines.

Expert Anatomical Technique: Securing the Platysma to the Very End

Expert Anatomical Technique: Securing the Platysma to the Very End

Unlike double chin surgery, turkey neck lift corrects vertical bands extending all the way down to
the collarbone, providing complete improvement of neck sagging.
This highly complex procedure, performed through a small incision under the chin,
requires a skilled and experienced surgeon—an essential factor for surgical success.

Minimal Incision, Hidden Scar, and Quick Recovery

Minimal Incision, Hidden Scar, and Quick Recovery

Through a discreet 3–4 cm incision under the chin, we address skin, fat, and muscle at once.
With refined suturing techniques, scarring is minimized,
easing concerns about visible marks and supporting a fast return to daily life.

Surgical Methods by Neck Wrinkle Type

We improve various types of neck wrinkles with personalized surgical approaches tailored to each specific condition.

Horizontal Neck Wrinkles

These wrinkles can appear regardless of age, often due to congenital factors or poor habits. Fine wrinkle lines can be carefully filled with neck-specific fillers for a smoother appearance.

Vertical Neck Wrinkles

Formed when both the dermis and muscles lose elasticity and sag, these wrinkles can be treated with Botox to relax the muscle tension for a simple improvement.

Fine Neck Wrinkles

Characterized by fine, crepey lines caused by collagen loss, these can be improved with a neck wrinkle skin booster that promotes collagen production.

Turkey Neck Wrinkles

Caused by sagging skin beneath the chin and stretched platysma muscles forming two distinct bands, this type is best corrected through a turkey neck lift. The procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles for a smoother, more refined neckline.

Blurry Jawline

As aging causes the skin around the chin and neck to loosen, the jawline becomes indistinct, giving an older appearance. Our Perfect Neck Lift addresses this by tightening the platysma muscle in the front and pulling the skin taut from behind, effectively refining both neck wrinkles and sagging jawlines.

AFTER PLAN PROGRAM

Post-Surgery Care Program
for Perfect Completion

At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we utilize various equipment for pre-and post-surgery care to prevent side effects and aid in faster recovery.

Fast Recovery Program
(Painless Injection PCA)

This pain self-control device allows patients to administer small doses of pain relief medication as needed post-surgery.

It is an effective tool for those sensitive to pain or who have fears, minimizing post-surgery discomfort and aiding in a comfortable recovery.

Post-Surgery Swelling Management Program

At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we assist you in returning to your daily life naturally through methods such as swelling reduction injections and management, based on the physician's assessment, to facilitate rapid elimination of swelling.

  • Swelling Reduction Injections These injections help reduce inflammation and swelling, promote regeneration, stabilize cellular membranes in surgical areas, and prevent aging and degenerative changes.
  • Swelling Management We support blood circulation, aiding in the efficient drainage of stagnant fluids and blood, proving effective against swelling and bruising.
  • Regeneration Management Post-surgery, our approach includes removing dead skin cells and sebum, soothing tired skin, and providing hydration and nutrients for skin regeneration.

Post-Surgery Scar Management Program

Scarring is a significant concern with incisional surgeries.
We spare no effort in minimizing scars throughout the surgical process, and we continue with ongoing scar injections and laser scar management post-surgery.

  • Scar Management Injections These injections aim to minimize hypertrophic scars and keloids while aiding skin regeneration
  • Pigmentation Laser This treatment prevents pigmentation at the surgical site and destroys melanin, effectively lightening the skin. It also reduces the redness of scars and suppresses excessive vascular proliferation.
  • Scar Laser Our laser treatment increases the activity of fibroblasts, promoting dermal collagen production to correct skin textures disrupted by scarring.
