Deepest Plane Facelift
The face is lifted from its deepest plane, so skin tension is never what holds the result: natural expression, lasting structure.
Face & neck
Neck Lift
A youthful face continues into a defined neck. Rather than applying one operation to every neck, Prof. Tezel chooses between liposuction, muscle tightening, chin refinement and a formal lift according to the anatomy, and always plans the neck together with the face.
- Treatment matched to the cause: skin, fat or muscle

Why the angle matters
In conversation, the eyes, cheeks and jawline draw attention first. A young neck meets the face at a clear angle along the jaw, and this transition is naturally sharper in men. Tightening the neck alone is rarely enough for a youthful look. It has to be considered with the face.
Matching the treatment to the neck
- ·Liposuction: for a full neck where the problem is mainly fat under the skin.
- ·Platysma tightening: through a short incision hidden under the chin, deep fat is removed and the neck muscles are sutured together to eliminate the bands that appear with age.
- ·Neck lift: when skin laxity is significant, an incision around the ear allows the skin and muscle to be lifted and redraped.
- ·Chin refinement: enlarging a small chin with an implant or fat transfer can define the angle on its own.
Endoscopic facial contouring also has a positive effect on the jawline, and a deepest plane facelift treats the lower face and neck together.
Questions
Neck Lift: frequently asked questions
Yes. Neck procedures can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation. General anaesthesia is used when combined with other operations.
Not always. If the main issue is fat or muscle bands, a neck procedure alone may be enough. When the jowls and cheeks have descended too, a combined approach gives a more coherent result.
