A Deep Plane Neck Lift is a type of facelift that focuses on rejuvenating your neck area. It tightens saggy skin and smooths out wrinkles, giving your neck a more youthful and fresh look. This surgery goes a bit deeper than the usual neck lifts, which helps make the results look natural and last longer.
When you get a Deep Plane Neck Lift, here’s what you can expect for recovery:
Recovery Time: You'll need about two weeks to get back to feeling normal.
Stay in Turkey: It’s best to plan for about a week’s stay in Turkey so you can have follow-up checks with your surgeon.
Returning to Work: You should be able to get back to work within two weeks, depending on your job.
Returning to Exercise: Hold off any serious gym sessions for about a month, but gentle walking is fine after the first week.
Visibility of Final Results: You'll see changes right away, but the real wow-effect comes after a few months once all the swelling has gone down.
Activities to Avoid: Try not to do any heavy lifting or intense workouts for the first month.
Diet: Eat soft, easy-to-chew foods for the first few days to keep things gentle on your neck.

You’ll need to stop taking certain medications, get some tests done to ensure you're healthy, and follow any special instructions from your surgeon.
During the surgery, the surgeon makes small cuts around your hairline and maybe under your chin, lifts up the skin, tightens the muscles underneath, and removes any excess skin to give your neck a new, smoother contour.
You’ll visit your surgeon a few days after the surgery to check on your healing, and then again after a week or so to make sure everything is settling well.
