Necklift in Los Angeles , CA
A necklift is plastic surgery that uses a combination of three types of procedure to reduce wrinkles, excess fat or wrinkles.
Liposuction is used to remove any excess fat, while cervicoplasty helps to take away any extra skin. The final step is platysmaplasty which helps to remove or tighten the muscles in the neck to get rid of unwanted lines.
Necklift Procedure
During the necklift procedure, excess fat and skin are removed from your neck and your neck muscles can either be removed or tightened. This will provide you with a more defined neck as well as jaw line appearance. You can have this procedure done alone, or combined with other procedures like a facelift, liposuction or a chin implant. By just adding anyone of those procedures can enhance your neck appearance even more.
The necklift procedure takes between 2-3 hours for your surgeon to complete. However, if you have more than one procedure performed then you can count on the entire process to take longer. In actuality, the neck lift is two procedures. The first is called a cervicoplasty, where your excess skin will be taken away. The second is platysmaplasty, where your neck muscles are tightened or removed. If you have fat deposits that require treatment, your surgeon will add liposuction to your surgery as well.
You may have some pain, but your surgeon will prescribe pain medication if necessary. You may also have some swelling and possibly bruising, but this is short-term. Your surgeon will suggest that you not work or do any laborious activity for at least a week following your surgery and take it easy for the first
three weeks after surgery.
You will be required to wear a compression garment for quite a few days. This garment will assist in improving blood circulation, minimize your swelling, and assist your body to shed fluids that can be potentially harmful to you. This garment will also aid you in having a quicker recovery time and make you feel better by giving support for your neck.
Even though swelling takes a few weeks to disperse, you will be to notice results like a more distinct neck and jaw line within a week following surgery.
