Neck Lift Surgery at Elixir Medical
What Is Neck Lift Surgery?
Aging can lead to sagging skin and unattractive neck lines, which many men and women seek to address with neck lift surgery. This popular cosmetic procedure, performed by highly qualified Turkish surgeons, helps rejuvenate the neck area and improve overall appearance.
Preparing for Neck Lift Surgery
To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, follow these pre-surgery guidelines:
🚭 Avoid Smoking: Refrain from smoking for three weeks before and after the operation, as nicotine impairs blood circulation and slows healing.
💊 Skip Aspirin and Vitamin E: These can increase bleeding risk and complications.
🏃♂️ Avoid Sports: Refrain from physical activities a day before surgery to prevent dehydration.
🧂 Reduce Salt Intake: Limit salt consumption to about two grams per day to minimize swelling.
How Is Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
Three common techniques are used for neck lift surgery, depending on the specific needs of the patient:
-
Neck Liposuction
Ideal for reshaping and rejuvenating the neck, particularly for individuals with excess adipose tissue. An incision is made under the chin to remove fat. This method is also suitable for those with a double chin. -
Cervicoplasty
This technique involves removing loose and sagging skin to achieve a tighter appearance. A small incision is made under the chin, and it can be combined with neck liposuction for enhanced results. -
Platysmaplasty
Used to tighten separated and weak neck muscles. This method can be combined with cervicoplasty for a more effective outcome.
Depending on the chosen technique, the surgery lasts between 1 to 4 hours. It is typically performed under general anesthesia, though a combination of sedation and local anesthesia may be used.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Following your neck lift surgery, adhere to these recovery guidelines:
Hospital Stay: It is recommended to spend the night at the hospital for monitoring.
✂️ Stitch Removal: Stitches will be removed after one week.
🩹 Bruising and Swelling: These should subside in approximately two weeks.
💄 Make-Up: You can resume using make-up after two weeks.
🏃♀️ Limit Physical Activity: Avoid activities that raise your heart rate for about two weeks.
