Neck lift Surgery

As people age, collagen production decreases, and collagen is a substance to keep cells young, so as the body collagen decreases, the face ages and no longer has the former youth and vitality. With ageing, the skin of the body in various areas becomes loose and sagging. One of the most common areas of this problem is the neck. Most people experience wrinkles around their neck as they get older. Also, when people try to slim down, it causes them to lose a lot of fat and the shape changes from firm and prominent in to loose and withered skin. One of the best methods used these days to get rid of sagging skin on the neck area is a neck lift, which is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and excess fat around the jaw line, rejuvenates and removes sagging skin by pulling the skin in this area and finally creating a beautiful neck with an attractive line. Neck Lifting or removing neck wrinkles improves the complications of aging in the neck and jaw area by surgery. As a result, you can tighten your skin and eliminate wrinkles under the chin.

The young neck consists of firm skin and soft tissues with good elasticity so that the margin of the lower jaw is clearly defined and the chin is prominent. The skin and soft tissue do not sag. Wrinkles and muscle banding and sagging chin are also not seen. Accumulation of fat in the chin area is also not seen. The result of this surgery is long lasting, but neck lift surgery can not stop the aging process.

  • Excessive loosening of the skin under the chin
  • Loosening of neck skin
  • Accumulation of fat under the fat and neck
  • Decreased elasticity of the skin under the neck

Neck Lift Methods

Neck lift is performed in different ways. Each of these methods is applicable to specific people. There are three types of techniques used in neck lift surgery:

  • Liposuction: In this technique, excess fat is removed. In addition to removing excess fat in this area, neck lift also helps to remove loose and sagging neck skin and increase muscle strength, but liposuction is only used to remove excess fat and cannot change the condition of the skin and muscles.
  • Cervicoplasty: In the cervicoplasty technique, the goal is to remove excess skin, after which the skin of the neck area is smoother than before.
  • Platysmaplasty: the surgeon either removes the neck muscles or helps to increase its strength with special measures. These actions lead to the disappearance of the lines on the neck.

In these sessions, the surgeon will ask you to explain your medical conditions and if you have drug allergies or a specific disease, explain it in detail. The neck lift surgeon will ask questions about your expectations.

  • Conduct laboratory tests
  • Taking some medicines or regulating the use of some medicines
  • Stop smoking
  • Not taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements that increase bleeding and blood thinning.

During the Neck Lift Surgery Procedure

In the first stage, general anesthesia or intravenous injection is used for this surgery. The surgeon chooses the best type of anesthesia for the patient. Neck lift surgery includes traditional incision or limited incision. The traditional incision in neck lift surgery usually starts from the hairline on the neck and continues around the ears and finally ends near the back hair. Fats related to the neck and pubic area may be adjusted and placed in their proper place. be played The tissue under the skin of the neck is changed and placed in its proper place. Also, the platysma muscles (muscles of the neck area) are usually stretched a little in order to compensate for sagging in this area.

The skin is stretched to the extent that its contour is not damaged and its excess amount is removed. A special incision made under the chin is usually considered very important for liposuction of this area and muscle reconstruction. Special surgical adhesives and sutures close the incisions and close the wound. Surgical incisions may be limited and include only incisions around the ear. The smaller the slices, the more limited and intangible the results.

The incision lines made during surgery can be closed with sutures and surgical adhesives. The sutures used in surgery may be absorbable or need to be pulled in the coming days. After the wounds heal, the scars left from the surgery may be covered by the ear as well as hair regrowth.

The final result of a neck lift appears with the healing of swelling and bruises. A neck lift may not completely restore your youthful appearance, but it can go a long way in increasing your self-confidence.

Recovery Period after Neck Lift Surgery

  • After neck lift surgery, the face and neck may be covered with a special bandage during the recovery period in order to minimize the swelling and bruising caused by this surgery.
  • Care and maintenance of the surgical site and drains (it is a versatile device for draining secretions in all types of surgery and the basis of its work is the suction device.)
  • In case of pain, it is recommended to use the painkillers prescribed by the doctor
  • Regularly use the prescribed antibiotics to reduce pain and infection.
  • Swelling and bruising after surgery is normal, but you can use cool towels to improve your condition. Avoid putting ice directly on the skin because it can reduce the blood flow in the body and eventually lead to the death of skin cells.
  • In the first days after the face lift operation, you can also slowly turn your face and neck, but there should not be too much pressure on the neck. You should keep your head up to reduce the swelling and put a little pressure on the neck.
  • Place your head higher than your body while sleeping.

  • Risk of deep vein thrombosis with cardiac and pulmonary complications
  • Unsuccessful results of the operation in such a way that reconstructive surgery is needed.
