Necklift

Am I a good candidate for a neck lift?

Both men and women who want to look younger may consider a neck lift. It’s best if they are healthy and don’t smoke. If you have the following, a neck lift can help address them: 

• Double or triple chin 
• Excess fat in the neck 
• Loose/saggy skin in the neck 
• Neck lines/bands 
• Drooping salivary glands 

What are the risks of neck lift surgery?

Surgical procedures, including neck lifts, entail risks. Major complications with neck lifts are rare. A common complication is a hematoma, which is blood collecting under the skin. Small hematomas may resolve on their own, while large ones require urgent treatment. Injury to facial nerves or sensation is rare and typically temporary. The most commonly affected facial nerve (less than 5% risk) is the nerve going to your lower lip, which can cause temporary asymmetry in your lips with smiling or talking. This temporary asymmetry can be treated with Botox. 

What to expect after a neck lift?

Depending on your recovery, you can stay nearby overnight. Discomfort post-surgery is manageable with Tylenol. 

• Most patients return to Zoom meetings in 3-4 days and in-person work after 1-2 weeks as bruising typically resolves by then.
• No strenuous exercise for 1 month; limit heavy lifting or bending down; walking is encouraged.
• Swelling usually diminishes in 1 month, revealing true results.
• Scars may take up to a year or longer to fully fade, but they are well-hidden and not very obvious during casual conversation.
