Are there things that can be done to enhance my neck lift?
Neck lifts are often combined with fat transfer to the cheeks, jawline, chin, or lips to restore lost volume or augment these structures, giving your face a natural, balanced appearance. A fat transfer refers to the process of taking fat from your abdomen or other problem areas and injecting purified fat tissue into another area of your body. The goal of the procedure is to improve the fullness of the cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, jawline, or lower eye area, giving extra volume to the facial structure. This procedure may also be combined with a laser or chemical peel skin resurfacing to treat the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
What level of discomfort should I expect after my procedure?
Most of our patients experience little to no pain the day after surgery. In the operating room, you receive a local anesthetic that helps control pain during the day of surgery. We will provide you with specialized aftercare instructions to reduce swelling and discomfort. Our team will also recommend supplements to help reduce swelling and bruising after surgery.
What is the expected recovery time after a neck lift?
Recovery time for a neck lift procedure is about 1 week. During the first week, patients may experience some swelling and bruising. Recovery is faster than with a traditional facelift, as the surgery focuses on only the jawline and the neck. There is rarely any need to place surgical drains. You can expect to return to a desk job within a week after the surgery, so most of the swelling and bruising is gone. You can expect to return to normal activity after about three to four weeks. It is important to note that recovery time varies from patient to patient. After a neck lift, patients are advised to keep their head elevated while sleeping, apply a cold compress when needed, and avoid exercise and other strenuous activity.
What is the cost of a neck lift?
The cost of a neck lift can differ depending on the individual patient. Every person's neck is unique, and the level of correction required can vary. To determine the exact cost of your customized facelift, it is best to schedule a consultation with the skilled surgeons at Hill Country Plastic Surgery. They will assess your specific needs and provide you with personalized recommendations.
