Neck lift is a surgical procedure that aims to correct sagging, looseness and wrinkles in the neck area. Neck lift operations are generally preferred to reduce the signs of aging, achieve a tighter and more youthful appearance, remove excess skin in the neck area or to define the neck and jawline. Here is some important information about neck lift surgery:
Consultation
A person considering neck lift surgery should first have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the person’s aesthetic goals, expectations, health history and questions about the surgery are discussed. The surgeon examines the person’s skin structure, neck and jaw structure and makes an appropriate plan.
Anesthesia
Neck lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. This ensures that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery.
Operation
During a neck lift, the surgeon removes excess skin from the neck and chin area, tightens the neck muscles, and, if necessary, regulates the fatty tissue. The aim is to highlight the jawline and reduce wrinkles in the neck area.
The Healing Process
The recovery process of the patient after surgery is important. Following the instructions given by the surgeon can speed up the recovery process and improve the results. There may be swelling, bruising and mild pain in the first few days. Supportive bandages or dressings may be used. Care should be taken during the recovery process and the doctor’s recommendations should be followed.
Results
The results of neck lift surgery usually start to be seen within a few weeks after the surgery. The aim is to achieve a tighter, younger and more defined appearance in the neck area. However, the results may vary from person to person.
Neck lift surgery is usually preferred for aesthetic purposes, but in some cases it can also correct health problems. A person considering this surgery should have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon before the surgery to learn about the details, risks and results of the surgery and make their decision accordingly.
