Lower Face Lift and Neck Lift in Turkey
Eliminate jowls and neck sagging in a single procedure, from £3,330 with hospital stay, 5-star hotel, transfers, and 12 months of aftercare.
Jowls and a sagging neck are two of the most visible signs of facial ageing, and they tend to develop together. When the lower face loses its definition and the neck begins to droop, the overall effect can add years to your appearance. A combined lower face lift and neck lift addresses both areas in a single procedure, restoring a sharp jawline and a smooth, firm neck.
This combination is specifically designed for patients whose primary concerns are in the lower face and neck rather than the midface or upper face. It targets jowls, loose skin along the jawline, neck banding, excess neck fat, and the loss of definition between the chin and neck. The result is a seamless rejuvenation from the jawline to the base of the neck.
In the UK, a combined lower face and neck lift typically costs between £8,000 and £14,000. With The Health Store Turkey, your all-inclusive package starts from just £3,330, covering your procedure at a government-licensed hospital, 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, a personal translator, and 12 months of aftercare.
What Is Lower Face Lift + Neck Lift?
A combined lower face lift and neck lift is a procedure that rejuvenates the jawline, lower cheeks, and neck in a single session. It specifically targets the area from the lower cheeks down to the base of the neck.
The lower face lift component lifts and tightens the SMAS layer (the deeper tissue beneath the skin) along the jawline. This eliminates jowls, sharpens the jawline, and creates a more defined lower facial contour. Excess skin is trimmed and the incisions follow the natural contours around the ears.
The neck lift component tightens the platysma muscles, removes excess fat (if present), and eliminates loose skin. This addresses vertical banding, a double chin, and the sagging "turkey neck" appearance.
This combined procedure can address:
- Jowls along the jawline
- A soft, undefined jawline
- Loose skin on the lower face and neck
- Vertical muscle banding in the neck
- Excess fat beneath the chin
- A blurred transition between the chin and neck
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 3-4 hours. By addressing both the lower face and neck together, your surgeon ensures the result is seamless, no mismatched ageing between the two areas.
Am I Suitable?
A combined lower face and neck lift may be right for you if:
- You have jowls that are affecting your jawline definition
- Your neck has loose skin, banding, or excess fat
- You want to address both the lower face and neck in one procedure
- Your midface (cheeks) still has reasonable volume and does not need significant lifting
- You are in good general health and fit for general anaesthetic
- You are a non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before and after
- You have realistic expectations about the outcome
If your ageing also involves the midface or forehead, a full face lift may be more appropriate. Your surgeon will assess your entire face and recommend the best approach during your consultation.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Before Your Procedure
Your journey starts with a free consultation, online, by phone, or at one of our UK consultation days. You discuss your concerns about the lower face and neck. Your surgeon assesses skin laxity, jowl severity, neck muscle banding, and fat distribution.
Once you decide to proceed, you receive a treatment plan and pre-procedure instructions.
During Your Stay in Turkey
Your VIP transfer takes you to your 5-star hotel. You attend the hospital for assessments, blood tests, photographs, and a consultation. Surgical markings are made.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 3-4 hours. Your surgeon lifts the lower face tissues, tightens the SMAS layer, repairs the neck muscles, and removes excess skin. You stay in hospital for 2 nights with nursing care. Drains may be placed and removed within 1-2 days.
After Your Procedure
You wear a supportive garment around the face and neck. Your surgeon checks your healing daily during your hotel stay. Sutures are removed in stages over 7-14 days. You receive aftercare instructions and 12 months of support.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery follows a similar timeline to a full face lift, though it may feel slightly easier since the midface area is not involved.
Day 1-3: Significant swelling and bruising around the jawline and neck. Tightness and numbness. Drains removed within 1-2 days. Keep your head elevated. Pain is managed with prescribed medication.
Day 3-7: Swelling starts to settle. Bruising changes colour and fades. The improved jawline and neck contour start to emerge. Wear your compression garment as directed.
Day 7-14: Sutures removed in stages. The lift is becoming clearly visible. Most patients begin to feel significantly better and more comfortable.
Week 2-3: Most visible swelling and bruising has resolved. You can return to work and light activities. The jawline looks sharper and the neck smoother.
Month 1-3: Residual swelling and tightness settle. Numbness gradually resolves. The final contour becomes established.
Month 3-6: Your final result is fully apparent, a defined jawline, smooth neck, and naturally youthful lower face.
Risks & Considerations
A combined lower face and neck lift carries a similar risk profile to a full face lift and is well-established in cosmetic surgery.
Common effects (expected and temporary):
- Swelling and bruising, resolves over 2-4 weeks
- Tightness and numbness, improves over weeks to months
- Moderate discomfort, managed with medication
- Temporary hair thinning around incision sites
Less common considerations:
- Haematoma, the most common surgical complication; managed with drainage
- Nerve injury, temporary weakness or altered sensation, usually resolves
- Visible scarring, rare; incisions follow natural ear and hairline contours
- Skin irregularities, uncommon
- Infection, rare with sterile technique
How your safety is managed: Your procedure takes place at a government-licensed, JCI-accredited hospital with full monitoring. You have 2 nights of in-hospital care. Your 12 months of aftercare ensures continuous support throughout healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
A lower face lift targets specifically the jawline, jowls, and lower cheeks. A full face lift addresses the entire face including the midface and cheek area. The lower face lift is ideal for patients whose main concerns are jowls and an undefined jawline, while the midface still looks relatively youthful. Your surgeon will advise which approach is right for you.
A combined lower face and neck lift typically lasts 8-12 years. You continue to age naturally, but from a rejuvenated starting point. Most patients still look significantly younger than they would have without the procedure many years later. The neck lift component is particularly long-lasting.
Yes, this is very common. Adding upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a brow lift creates a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. All procedures can be performed under the same anaesthetic with one recovery period. Discuss your goals with your surgeon during your consultation.
Most patients are comfortable flying 5-7 days after a lower face and neck lift. Your surgeon will confirm during your follow-up. By this point, drains and most sutures have been removed, and swelling is manageable. A scarf provides easy discretion during travel. Your UK aftercare team monitors your recovery once home.
Yes, a compression garment around the face and neck is worn for the first 1-2 weeks. This reduces swelling, supports the new tissue positions, and helps achieve a smooth result. It is worn continuously at first, then at night only. Most patients find it comfortable and appreciate the support it provides.
