It’s a cosmetic surgery that aims to restore the youthful appearance of the neck through muscle tying and removal of excess skin through incisions that are hidden around the ear lobule and behind the ear after proper sculpting of the deep neck fat, muscles and glands through a thin 3 cm long incision at behind the chin.
Neck lift surgery is not only done for cases with excess neck skin as post massive weight loss or age-related neck laxity but it’s also done for young patients with double chin with moderate to severe skin laxity that liposuction alone will never satisfy them.
Recovery: drains are removed after 2 days and it takes around 2- 3 weeks for bruises to fade and edema to subside while final results require around 3-6 months to reach.
