A neck lift can lift sagging skin, tighten neck muscles and remove fat. A typical neck lift operation takes no more than a few hours and is done under with local or general anesthetic combined with a sedative. Patients can usually leave after the procedure is completed, but in some instances a short stay may be necessary.

A neck lift involves an incision around the ears and down the neck. The skin is then separated from the underlying tissues, removed, and the remaining skin is closed with sutures and staples.

RESULTS AND AFTERCARE

The recovery period for a neck lift is about 2 weeks. Patients usually experience some swelling, numbness, bruising and tenderness, and a feeling of tightness after operation. Two weeks post-surgery abstain for energetic activity. Sun exposure should be limited for several months until the facial tissue heals. The scars caused by incisions are usually inconspicuous, it takes an experienced plastic surgeon to ensure that the results will appear natural.
