Procedure

During a necklift surgery, a skilled plastic surgeon will make incisions either under the chin or behind the ears. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat are removed, and the muscles in the neck may be tightened. The surgeon may also perform liposuction to remove additional fat. Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions are closed, and the patient is typically given bandages or a compression garment to aid in healing. The procedure usually takes a few hours to complete and is performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort.

Recovery

After the necklift surgery, patients need to rest for a few days. You may experience some swelling and bruising around your neck and face. It is essential to follow the surgeon’s instructions to ensure proper healing and avoid any complications. You may need to wear a compression garment for several weeks to help reduce swelling. Your surgeon may recommend some pain relievers and antibiotics to manage any discomfort or infections. It is crucial to avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy weights for several weeks. Be patient, and you will see the desired results in due time.
