The Patient's Goals
“Turkey neck” is shorthand for two different problems wearing one name: vertical muscle bands, and the loose skin draped over them. This 47-year-old USA patient had both — and understood, from her research, that treating only one is why some neck lifts disappoint.
Her single stated condition was authenticity: a corrected neck that still belonged to her face. Her neck lift before and after was planned against both components and that condition.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
The operation separated the problem into its parts and solved each:
- The bands: the platysma’s parted edges sutured back together at the midline — the corded look resolved at its anatomical source.
- The drape: the redundant skin lifted and re-set through peri-auricular incisions, following the corrected muscle rather than masking it.
- The authenticity check: tension calibrated against her facial proportions at every stage — a neck tighter than its face is precisely the failure she had researched.
What the after photos show: both components resolved in proportion — a smooth, angled neck that reads as hers, roughly a decade earlier.
Understanding which component dominates a given neck is the first task of assessment; hers began with photographs sent through our contact page.

I had a face, neck and arm lift at AKM. I’m just over 4 weeks post and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire experience was wonderful! My coordinator, Khadija made me feel comfortable from beginning to end! I highly recommend AKM and will definitely go back for other procedures!

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible! I came from the US and assistant Emine was the best in assuring every detail was coordinated and communicated with me beyond my expectations every step of the way. 10 out of 10 to the entire team! I couldn’t be more pleased!
