How is a Neck Lift Performed?
A small incision approximately 1/2 inch is made in a small skin crease hidden under the chin. Incisions are also made in the crease behind the ear, so no incisions are visible. Using a tumescent technique, similar to that of body liposuction, anesthetic solution is injected into the area of the neck and the submental region. Liposuction utilizing small canulas (smaller in size than a pencil) are used to perform liposuction, to remove excess adipose tissue in the submental area.
The carbon dioxide laser is then used to separate the redundant skin and muscle. Utilizing the endoscopes, sutures are placed to support the platysma muscle back into its normal position. The sutures are supported in the dense tissue overlying the bone in the post-auricular or mastoid area. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures and a small stockinet dressing is applied.
How Do I Recover from a Neck Lift?
Individuals apply cold compresses for approximately 48 hours. They are usually able to resume social and work activities within 3-4 days and normal physical activities without restrictions at 7 days.
