A more defined jawline, a smoother neck and a balanced transition between face and neck. Fat under the chin, loose skin or lost jawline definition can make the face look heavier or older than it feels — the plan is shaped around what’s actually causing it.
The neck and chin area plays an important role in how young, dynamic and refined the face looks. Fat accumulation under the chin, loose skin, visible neck lines and loss of jawline definition can make the face look heavier or older than it feels.
In some people the main concern is excess fat under the chin; in others it’s skin laxity, muscle looseness or a combination. The neck and chin are evaluated together with the whole face — the aim isn’t only to reduce a double chin, but to create a more elegant neck, a clearer jawline and a natural result that stays compatible with the face.
Submental fat
Reduces excess fat under the chin to reveal the jawline and lighten the lower face — best when the concern is localised fat and the skin quality is good.
Skin · muscle · contour
Addresses loose skin, deeper tissues and neck muscles for a smoother contour and a defined chin–neck angle — when there’s sagging, bands or skin laxity.
The jawline and neck are closely connected to the overall facial appearance. Even when the face looks fresh, a heavy double chin or loose neck skin can affect the whole profile.
So the neck isn’t evaluated separately from the face. Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu ENT Specialist | Rhinoplasty & Facial Aesthetic Surgeon reads the chin, jawline, neck angle, skin quality, fat distribution and muscle structure together — which lets the plan be personalised rather than standardised.
A heavy chin or loose neck affects the profile even when the face looks fresh.
Makes the lower face look cleaner and more balanced.
Helps the face appear lighter and more dynamic.
The right method depends on the cause. Removing fat alone from a neck with weak skin quality won’t create the desired result; and a more extensive surgery isn’t necessary if the concern is limited to localised fat. The decision is made after a detailed examination, to choose the most appropriate method for your anatomy.
When the main issue is fat under the chin and the skin is elastic enough.
When there’s loose skin, visible sagging, neck bands or loss of deeper support.
Planning begins with a detailed evaluation of the lower face and neck — examined together so the plan is realistic and personalised. A younger person with good skin elasticity may need a very different plan from someone with skin laxity and visible neck bands. The goal isn’t an overly sharp or unnatural jawline; it’s to improve the neck and chin contour in a way that fits the face.
Each procedure is performed according to your anatomy, with the result kept natural and compatible with the face.

A supportive garment may be advised to support the neck contour while it heals.
Remote check-ins as the jawline and neck definition settle over the months ahead.
Submental fat reduced through small access points; the amount is planned carefully to avoid hollowness or irregularity.
Loose deeper tissues tightened, the neck angle improved, excess skin reduced and the jawline supported — with muscle bands and chin fat addressed when present.
Recovery depends on the procedure. After lipolysis, expect swelling, mild bruising and tightness under the chin; after a neck lift, swelling, bruising and a feeling of tension in the neck can be more noticeable early on. The first week is the most sensitive: rest, keep the head elevated, avoid pressure on the neck and follow the instructions; a supportive garment may be advised.
Swelling and bruising are expected around the chin and neck. The lower face may feel tight or sensitive.
Swelling usually begins to decrease and the neck contour starts to become more visible. Social recovery varies with the extent of the procedure.
Jawline and neck definition continue to improve gradually as the tissues settle.
Subtle swelling and tissue changes can continue for some months, especially after a neck lift, as the final result refines.
The aim isn’t an exaggerated or artificial neck — it’s a result that looks natural, balanced and compatible with your facial structure. A good plan reduces heaviness under the chin, improves jawline definition and creates a smoother neck without making the face look overdone.
The most important part is choosing the right procedure: some people need only fat reduction, some need skin and tissue tightening, others benefit from a combined approach.
It may suit people concerned about fat under the chin, loss of jawline definition, neck sagging, loose skin or visible neck lines. Suitability depends on fat distribution, skin quality, muscle structure, age and facial proportions — so a detailed evaluation comes first.

"I had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Nuran, and I couldn't be happier. She was incredibly professional, talented and attentive throughout. The outcome exceeded my expectations and truly changed my life — I feel so much more confident now. What impressed me most was how smooth the recovery was: almost no swelling or bruising, which speaks volumes about her skill. My nose looks beautiful and natural, exactly what I hoped for."
"I come from Germany and had my nose operated on by Dr. Nuran Erkalp a week ago. I'm very happy with my decision to have the operation in Turkey. The doctor and her team are very friendly and competent — the operation and the whole organisation went really well, and I was looked after very well at the hospital. I can now breathe much better than before. If I had to choose again, I would have her operate on me."
"Knowledge and experience are built up over time. For a patient, the doctor is everything — you first look at their manner, their style, their knowledge, and above all their warmth. Dr. Nuran has all of this and more: her professional knowledge is beyond excellent, and her energy and approach are perfect in every way. I'd go so far as to say she's among the very finest ENT surgeons in the world."
"My years-long inability to breathe was solved thanks to Dr. Nuran. I was so happy with the care from her and her team before, during and after surgery. She shaped my nose to suit my face and resolved my breathing problem at the same time. I'm absolutely delighted."
"She performed a perfect rhinoplasty and deviation surgery, correcting my nasal passages like an architect. I hadn't realised I wasn't really breathing — thanks to her my oxygen levels rose and I made peace with life. My one condition was that the outside of my nose shouldn't change at all, and she kept it exactly as promised. She even stayed by my side until I came round from the anaesthesia. With gratitude, in every deep breath."
"Dr. Nuran is a true master. I'm someone who's wary of recommendations — especially in medicine — yet I recommend her to everyone without hesitation. She's been my doctor for years and has never left a complaint of mine uncured. A month ago I had deviation surgery and an endoscopy for sleep apnoea. In 57 years I've never met anyone so skilled, so dedicated and so full of energy. My breathing feels like childhood again, and I'm free of the sleep apnoea risk."
"I'm now past the first month after my operation and already have exactly the nose I wanted. Even though it's still slightly swollen, it suits my face beautifully. People can't believe I had surgery — it looks incredibly natural. Everyone at the clinic was attentive and so helpful. I'm very happy."
"Dr. Nuran performed my rhinoplasty. She managed the whole process before and after surgery beautifully and answered every question with patience. My nose now looks both natural and perfectly suited to my face. I'm so glad I chose her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly."
"I met Dr. Nuran through a friend, and the wait for my nose surgery was truly worth it — the result is beyond even my dreams. Most importantly, I never have any trouble breathing. Health matters just as much as aesthetics, and everything turned out perfect. Thank you, Doctor."
"On a friend's recommendation I chose Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu. I had my surgery 2.5 months ago — I had both a breathing problem and a drooping nose I was unhappy with. I trusted her completely and everything went perfectly. She looks after her patients wonderfully and is always ready to help. Özlem was kind and helpful in every way too."
"Thank you so much to Dr. Nuran and her team. I was very anxious before surgery, but I'm so grateful they showed me there was nothing to fear. Afterwards I had no pain and nothing that disrupted my daily life. It hasn't even been a month, and my nose already looks just the way I wanted. My advice to anxious patients like me: you can trust Dr. Nuran with your eyes closed."
"Endless thanks to Dr. Nuran and her team, who supported me through a very successful rhinoplasty. Their constant support on every matter and the warm, family-like atmosphere made the surgery and recovery so much easier to get through."
"Once again — I'm so glad I met Dr. Nuran and had my nose surgery. I had some reservations beforehand, but it was never as hard as I expected and I got through it without pain. With the right choice of doctor we achieved a wonderful result. So glad I chose you."
"Dr. Nuran is a true expert in her field. She took great care at every stage and left no question unanswered — I only wish I'd come sooner. You can place your trust in her with complete confidence. I absolutely recommend her."
"Dr. Nuran performed my husband's nose surgery a month ago. Between her surgical skill and her warm manner, she made us feel incredibly relaxed and safe. She and her team answered every question and message as quickly as possible, which made us very happy. Thank you again."

ENT & Rhinoplasty Surgeon · İstanbul
Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu ENT Specialist | Rhinoplasty & Facial Aesthetic Surgeon completed her specialty training in Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Head & Neck Surgery at İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa — one of Türkiye’s most respected surgical programmes. With nearly 30 years of experience, she plans the shape and the breathing of every nose together, never one at the expense of the other.
Double chin lipolysis focuses mainly on reducing fat under the chin. Neck lift surgery addresses loose skin, deeper tissues and neck contour more comprehensively.
Not always. If there is significant skin laxity, neck lift surgery may be more suitable than fat reduction alone.
Yes, in suitable cases they can be planned together. This depends on fat accumulation, skin quality, muscle structure and jawline definition.
The goal is a natural result that fits the face. The neck and jawline should look more defined without appearing overly tight or artificial.
Early recovery usually improves within the first weeks. Final neck and jawline definition continues to settle gradually over several months.
People with double chin, loose neck skin, weak jawline definition or visible neck ageing may be suitable. A detailed examination is needed to choose the right plan.
There is no single price — it depends on whether your plan is lipolysis, a neck lift, or both. The fastest way to an all-inclusive figure is to send a few clear photos for a free assessment.
