Neck Lift Surgery (Turkey Neck Removal) in Thailand

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the neck and jawline by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening underlying muscles. This surgery addresses issues such as sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat deposits, resulting in a smoother, more youthful neck contour.​

1. Traditional Neck Lift

Procedure: An incision is made starting in the hairline near the sideburn, continuing down around the ear, and ending in the posterior hairline. Through this incision, excess fat is sculpted or redistributed, underlying tissues are repositioned, and muscles are tightened. The skin is then redraped over the uplifted contours, and excess skin is removed.​

Ideal For: Individuals with significant sagging skin, muscle banding, and fat accumulation in the neck area.​

Estimated Cost: Approximately THB 81,000 – 115,500 (∼USD 2,450 – 3,500).

2. Limited Incision Neck Lift

Procedure: This technique involves smaller incisions around the ear, which may result in a more limited improvement compared to a traditional neck lift. It's often suitable for patients with less severe neck aging.​

Ideal For: Individuals with mild to moderate sagging and minimal excess skin.​

Estimated Cost: Approximately THB 66,000 – 99,000 (∼USD 2,000 – 3,000).​

• Hospital Stay: Patients may need to stay overnight in the hospital after surgery for monitoring. ​
• Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common in the first week. Keeping the head elevated and avoiding twisting or bending the neck is advised.​
• Return to Activities: Most patients can resume light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with more strenuous activities postponed for at least 4 to 6 weeks.​
• Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments may be recommended to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues.​
