Neck lifting, also known as platysmaplasty, is a common surgery for people whose neck has lost the "turkey wattle". The loss of shape is usually caused by a considerable weight loss which results in a wobbly loose skin. Another cause is an excess of fat which increases the size of the neck and causes difficulties with head movements. This problem can be a result of ageing or may be inherited. (Double chin)
Neck lifting improves the shape of the neck by reducing the amount of loose skin or by reducing the amount of excess fat. This procedure is usually combined with other procedures such as a face lift or liposuction of chin. The final result can be amazing; you may also look slimmer because you will have a nice tight skin instead of a loose skin which can make people look obese.
Normally, the stay at the clinic is for 2 days. You will be recovering at our private apartment for the next 4 days before flying back. During the stay at the clinic, our nurses replace the bandages and then the bandage is kept on for another three days. The client is required to relax as much as possible as unnecessary movement may impair the essential process of healing and may increase bleeding and swelling. The final results could be seen after four months and it usually lasts for about seven years. Any demanding physical activity should be avoided for at least four weeks after the surgery.
Permanent smokers who continue smoking before and after the surgery can experience loss of stretched skin which might be very difficult to eliminate.
It is important to adhere to the instructions given by the surgeon after the surgery. Poorly maintained skin can leave visible scars or continue bleeding for several weeks which increases the risk of infection.
The skin might be tight following the surgery due to swelling and could make it difficult to move with the neck.
