Neck Lifts (Cervicoplasty)
View Gallery Here
Necklifts are usually performed using IV sedation. Through fine slits beneath the chin and behind each ear, excess fat can be removed and the floppy muscle tightened. A fine drain is sometimes used and removed after 24 hours. No dressings are required.
Light physical activities can be resumed in 1 week, but rigorous physical exercise should be avoided for 2-3 weeks post-operatively. With the judicious use of makeup, patients can resume work in 7-12 days.
