Neck tightening

For patients who suffering from common problems such as excess skin, excess fat, chin or other problems related to the appearance of the neck, neck lifting can be the solution. Similar to some other procedures, neck lifting can be a combination of several different aesthetic procedures that together give the effect of a tight neck.

NECK LIFTING PROCEDURE

Several different procedures can be understood under a single neck lift. Most often, an incision is made under the chin and/or behind the ears to gain access to the platysma, the neck muscle that is responsible for problems such as the so-called strips and notches.

If the patient have lot of excess skin, it will be reduced, tightened to a higher position and fixed. Liposuction can also be an integral part of the procedure.

The duration of the intervention can range from one hour to five, depending on the patient’s needs. This means often combining the neck lift with a face lift – tightening of the face. Therefore, the recovery time will vary, which will also depend on the general health condition of the patient.

RISKS AND RECOVERY

Lifting the neck carries certain risks. To minimize the risks, candidates should not take certain blood-thinning medications before or immediately after surgery. Blood pressure control is also very important. The smoker will need to stop smoking 4 weeks before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery to reduce the possibility of complications.

With a professional doctor and with the prevention of potential risks, the procedure and recovery are safe, and the results are very satisfactory, which results in rejuvenation to which non-surgical methods cannot compete.
