Neck Lift in Bundaberg, Queensland
Individuals who have wrinkles, folds, and hanging skin in the neck area can look years younger with a neck lift. Our Queensland surgeon, serving Bundaberg, and surrounding areas, can tighten the skin of the neck and make it appear slimmer and more youthful. A neck lift can also serve as an effective complement to other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as face lift and eyelid surgery.
Neck Lift
As we age, the skin of the neck can often become loose with excess fat, making us look even older than we actually are. This effect can also be brought on by recent weight loss and excessive sun exposure.
Neck Lift Procedure
Dr. James Gaffield begins the neck lift procedure by administering a general anesthetic. Small, discreet incisions are made under the chin and behind the ears, allowing for Dr Gaffield to improve the appearance of the neck. A variety of techniques, including liposuction and the removal of excess skin can be used in neck lifting procedures. Dr. Gaffield will determine which technique is best for your goals at your initial consultation. The entire neck lift procedure typically takes about two – three hours.
Neck Lift Recovery
Patients should expect recovery to take at least three weeks after the procedure. Strenuous activity and excess strain to the neck should be avoided for several weeks following surgery. Some minor bruising and swelling are common after neck lift; however, this should dissipate within two weeks and any residual discomfort can be managed with medication. It may take three to six months for the full aesthetic results of neck lift to be apparent. In many cases, neck lift results can last from five to ten years or longer.
