The Neck Lift Consultation
At your consultation, Dr. Said meets with you to discuss your aesthetic concerns. He examines your neck and jawline for signs of aging. Whether you have sagging jowls, a double chin, or neck bands, a neck lift can help. The consultation provides answers to all your neck lift questions so you know what to expect moving forward. After listening to your goals and examining your neck, Dr. Said creates a neck rejuvenation plan just for you.
He explains how a neck lift can make you look younger, along with what the surgery cannot do. He may tell you about other procedures to reverse aging, such as facelift surgery or dermal fillers if those options are in your best interest. A staff member meets with you to go over neck lift pricing after the consultation. Since your procedure is customizable, private consultation is the best way to get an accurate neck lift cost. The next step is booking a surgery date.
Please follow all pre-operative instructions. On the day of your neck lift Seattle plastic surgeon Dr. Said meets with you to go over any last-minute questions. He may mark your skin with a special marker. General anesthesia or conscious sedation may be used. Sedative drugs will begin to make you feel drowsy.
Once you are comfortably sedated, Dr. Said makes small incisions. Incisions are cleverly hidden beneath your chin and ears. Through these incisions, the neck tissues are lifted and tightened. If you have vertical neck bands, the platysmas muscle is tightened. Excess fat on the neck, jawline, and chin is removed. Facelift surgery takes between two to three hours. The incisions are neatly closed. They are hardly visible once healed. You will awake in a comfortable recovery room. Most patients return home the same day.
After spending approximately one hour in the recovery room, you may return home to rest. Someone must be present to drive you home if general anesthesia is administered.
Post-op instructions are provided before you go home. You may shower the day after surgery and wash your hair. It is best to sleep with your head elevated for the first week to reduce swelling. Bandages are removed at your first post-op appointment. Stitches, if any, are removed in approximately 7 to 10 days. Pain is minimal after neck lift surgery. Dr. Said prescribes pain medication and antibiotics to facilitate healing.
Most discomfort subsides in the first three days. Swelling and tightness may persist for several weeks or months. Bruising may occur, which can be easily concealed with a scarf or turtleneck. Bruising typically fades in two weeks. You can return to work in one to two weeks. Exercise may be resumed in six weeks; Please avoid strenuous activity before then. Walking every few hours is a great way to exercise in early recovery. Walking also lowers the risk of blood clots after surgery.
