Plastic Surgery Procedures Abroad - Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Guide

 
Medical Procedure: Neck Lift

Medical name: Platysmaplasty

What to Expect from a Neck Lift: The neck lift procedure aims at removing excess skin and fat from the neck area. As people age, the skin on their neck tends to hang or sag. This procedure can be done alone, or accompanied by a facelift.

Description of Neck Lift Surgery: The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will discuss with you the different treatment options and combinations available. After an anesthesia is administered, an incision will be made under your chin, and sometimes behind your ears where the skin will be gently raised. Your surgeon will then tighten the muscles underlying the soft tissue in the neck and remove any excess skin or fat by liposuction or cutting it out. The skin is resurfaced o the neck and then incisions are closed with dissolving or removable stitches. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day.


Good Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery: Any healthy person over the age of 40 who desires to remove excess skin in the neck area due to age or weight loss.

Average Duration of Neck Lift Surgery: 2-3 hours

Estimated Recovery Time: It takes approximately two weeks to fully recover from the neck lift operation.

I can return to work within: Patients should avoid strenuous activity for about 10 days, but it should be safe to return to work in about 5 days.

I should see the complete result of my Neck Lift Surgery within: You will see the full results in about 3-4 weeks. The results typically last for 5-10 years.

Pain Factor: Patients are typically under general anesthesia during this procedure. Bruising and swelling is to be expected, and can be partially eliminated with a cold compress. The patient should avoid any anti-inflammatory medications or medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin.

Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Neck Lift Surgery: Allergic reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, facial nerve injury, infection

Choose Visit and Care: Why should you go through the hassle of dealing with several different parties to make reservations and appointments with a doctor when we can handle all of that for you without it costing you a penny more than what you would pay if you were to do everything yourself directly. What is our incentive? We get paid by hospitals and clinics when we refer customers to them. In our agreement with the hospitals and clinics we work with, it states that our customers will not be charged any extra fee by a hospital or clinic, in order to compensate for our fees to them. So, if a procedure costs you 500 dollars when you arrange it through the hospital directly, it will also cost you 500 dollars when you arrange it through Visit and Care.
