The consultation is the foundation of a safe and satisfying outcome. Dr. Huy takes the time to discuss your procedure options, carefully listening to the subtleties of what you want your results to look like for the jawline and neck area. You can ask any questions you may have, and Dr. Huy will provide you with complete information about each of your options. You may also explore additional options for plastic surgery, such as combining procedures with your neck lift. Popular combinations include a facelift, cheek lift, and brow lift.
Preparing for the Procedure
If you are a good candidate for a neck lift, we can schedule and prepare you for your surgery. Some preparation is essential, but each step is straightforward. Dr. Huy will let you know if you need to do any of the following:
- Maintain or change your current weight
- Complete lab tests
- Stop any smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery
- Stop certain medications
- Arrange for time off work
- Schedule a ride home from surgery or go to an aftercare facility
- Let us know any questions you may have
Day of the Procedure
Before your surgery, a certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia. This allows you to be comfortable and unconscious throughout your surgery. Then Dr. Huy will perform your surgery, ensuring each step is adapted and in line with your customized procedure plan. This generally involves steps that include:
- Neck liposuction
- Removing excess skin
- Adjusting underlying muscles
- Repositioning and tightening skin
- Fat grafting to improve facial features
- Closing all incisions
The entire surgical procedure typically takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the combination of procedures.
Recovering from Your Neck Lift
Working with a certified surgeon is the best foundation for having a safe procedure and a smooth recovery. Additionally, it will be essential to follow all of Dr. Tristan Huy’s post-procedure instructions, which are all designed to facilitate quick and comfortable healing.
-
The First Week
Patients will need to take week 1 off from work and avoid all physical activity. Instead, resting and caring for the surgical sites takes priority. Neck swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and readily managed (e.g., cold compress to reduce swelling).
-
The Second Week
Many patients take a second week off as downtime as well. However, most patients can return to work and very light activity by the week’s end. Continue to care for the surgical sites as instructed.
-
Third to Fourth Weeks
After a follow-up appointment, patients can begin a gradual return to normal physical routines. However, strenuous activity should still be avoided.
-
Beyond
Patients should be able to return to life as normal after the fourth week. However, the final timeline will depend on your individual health and other factors affecting recovery.
What Are the Results Like?
A neck lift creates long-lasting improvements that are complete as soon as the procedure wraps up. However, the swelling and bruising will need to go away before you can see appreciable improvements. For most patients, side effects fade enough to enjoy their results by about the end of the second week post-surgery.
You should begin to see an improved jawline and neck contour with an overall more youthful appearance. Neck lift results last for years, but the aging process will continue. We recommend adhering to a healthy lifestyle to see your results last for as long as possible.
