The Patient's Goals
The irony was not lost on this 44-year-old USA patient: she flew to Turkey to correct a “turkey neck”. Behind the joke sat a precise complaint — two vertical bands running down her neck and loose skin between them, the combination that makes the term instantly recognisable.
Her neck lift before and after also had a deadline attached: she wanted to be socially presentable within two weeks of surgery.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
Her neck lift targeted the actual mechanics of the deformity:
- Platysmaplasty at the centre: the separated edges of the platysma muscle — the source of the vertical bands — repaired and tightened at the midline, converting two cords back into one smooth sheet.
- Skin redraped, not just removed: the excess managed through incisions tucked behind the ears, letting the surface follow the corrected muscle beneath.
- Recovery engineering: conservative dissection and structured aftercare aimed squarely at her two-week social deadline — which she met.
What the after photos show: the bands gone, the angle beneath the chin restored, and a neck that no longer names itself. Residual firmness kept settling over the following weeks.
