Neck lifting is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat around your chin line. The end goal for this surgery is to create a firm, contoured and youthful-looking neck. The neck lift surgery has proven over the years to produce satisfactory and long-lasting results, primarily when performed by experienced surgeons like the ones we have at Luna Clinic. Although this surgery produces impressive results, it’s important to note that it doesn’t stop the aging process. It can only reduce the signs of aging in the lower face area.

• People with excess fat beneath the chin and neck.
• People with “Bands” created by the aging neck muscles.
• Individuals who have a droop on the neck area.
• Mild or moderate wrinkling of the skin only.

1. Go for a medical evaluation or blood testing.
2. Take certain medications or adjust your current medications.
3. Avoid smoking.
4. Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs, Aspirin, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

The surgery begins right after the medical examination phase is over. Below are the steps you should expect during the neck lift procedure: 

Taking the anesthesia

When your surgeon is satisfied with the medical examination outcome, you will be given anesthesia. For neck lift surgery, your surgeon will either give you general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Some patients are even given sedation. Depending on how complicated your situation is, your surgeon will provide you with appropriate anesthesia for your condition.  

3. Surgery

The two methods to perform a neck lift surgery: a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision neck lift. Suppose your surgeon opts for the former technique, expect incisions to be made from the hairline to the area around the ear up to the posterior hair. But if he/she opts for the limited incision neck lift, your surgeon will make incisions around the ear – these incisions are a bit shorter. Either way, when incisions are made, your surgeon will redistribute fat deposits from the jowls and neck. Your surgeon will reposition the tissues underlying the neck skin as a way of tightening the platysma muscle.

It can take a few weeks or months for swelling to subside entirely, and you will begin to see the full results then. Most patients require almost seven days to rest and recover from neck lift surgery. So make it a point that you have got somebody who can assist you amid this time. It’s also vital that you stick to your surgeon’s instructions. 

• Post-operative bruising and swelling may persist for ten days. During this period, you might feel numb in the areas where your incisions were made.
• You should carefully take the meds which you will be given by your surgeon. 
• Don’t take alcohol, ibuprofen, and aspiriAspirineven days after the operation. 
• Your usual activities should be resumed after 14 days. 
• The skin of your face will be susceptible to sunlight after neck lift surgery; therefore, you need to protect your skin with sunscreen. It would help if you also avoid saunas and steam baths for four weeks after your surgery.
• Be prepared to adjust your sleeping position to prevent damaging the incisions.
