Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure to correct skin sagging and looseness caused by aging. This surgery aims to obtain a younger and firmer appearance by removing excess skin and fat tissues in the neck area. Neck lift surgery is an effective option to correct sagging and loose skin in the neck area.

How is a Neck Lift Performed?

Neck lift surgery is usually performed under sedation or general anesthesia and may take 2-3 hours. The procedure is performed with incisions made to tighten the skin and muscles in the neck area. Excess fat and skin tissues are removed, the muscles are tightened and the procedure is completed after the incisions are closed.

Healing Process

The recovery process after neck lift surgery usually takes 1-2 weeks and during this time swelling, bruising and mild pain may occur.

What To Do

  • For the first few days, you can use an ice pack to reduce swelling by applying cold to the neck area.
  • After the procedure, you should be protected from sunlight for a certain period of time. If possible, you can wear a hat or use a sunscreen to avoid sun exposure.

What You Should Avoid

  • You should avoid heavy exercise or excessive physical activity for the first few days.
  • For the first few days, you should not touch your neck area. The area may be sensitive after the procedure.
  • For the first few days, you should avoid toxic substances such as alcohol and cigarettes. These substances can adversely affect the healing process.
  • After the procedure, you should avoid exposure to water such as pool, sea and jacuzzi for a certain period of time. Water can increase the risk of infection of the treated area and delay the healing process.
  • You should not wear make-up for a certain period of time after the procedure. Due to the sensitivity of the treated area, wearing make-up can increase the risk of infection.
