Neck lift surgery (Neck Rejuvenation) is a surgical procedure, which tightens the neck skin and gives it a youthful appearance. It is done to correct the band lines, excess skin, and fats from your neck to restore the elasticity of the skin. Neck lift surgery in Dubai is considered to be the best treatment for improving the texture of the neck skin.

The Need for the Neck Lift Treatment

One can have worn-out neck skin because of the following reasons;

• Aging
• Genetics
• Physical trauma on the neck
• Lack of exercise
• Drastic weight loss
• Over-exposure to the sun

• His focus should be on the safety and care of the patient.

Note that a neck lift procedure is not done by a medical aesthetician, but by a qualified neck lift surgeon in Dubai.

Pre-Operation Guidelines

After selecting the right surgeon for your neck lift surgery procedure, the next step is having a detailed consultation. During this session, you and your plastic surgeon will discuss why you need the surgery, and what you hope to achieve. You will also discuss the process of the procedure, the cost, and everything that will be involved until your recovery period. Neck lift surgery cost in Dubai depends on the nature of the surgery & and the requirements of the candidate.

Right before the procedure, the plastic surgeon will check your medical history as well as what medications you are taking if any. He will also physically examine your area of concern and take photos so that you can see the difference after the surgery.

Before the neck lift procedure or any other procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle. If you are a smoker, you should stop before the procedure. If you are taking any blood-thinning medication like aspirin, you are advised to stop to avoid excessive bleeding during the procedure. Alcohol consumption should also be halted as well as any herbal supplements.

The Surgery

Neck lift & tightening surgery is performed using a General or a Local Anesthesia and lasts for two to three hours.

It is carried out in an Inpatient setting, and the candidate has to stay in the clinic or hospital of a few days.

Well, there are several techniques to carry out the neck lift treatment, and the selection of a specific technique depends upon the preferences and goals of the candidate. The techniques include;

1. Liposuction—- In this procedure, the excess fat is removed from a neck through a surgical cannula. The cannula is inserted at the targeted area, and extra fat is extracted. The cannula moves in a back-and-forth motion and sucks all the fat through a suction pump. The sagging skin is stitched together afterward.
2. Cervicoplasty—Cervicoplasty in Dubai removes excessive skin from the neck. In the procedure, two incisions are made either under the ear or behind it. Afterward, the skin is lifted by stitching firmly to the solid structures in front and back of the ears.
3. Platysmaplasty— It is used to treat Turkey Wattle (weakened or loose neck muscles). The surgeon makes an incision under your chin or behind the ears to access the platysma (neck muscle) and manipulate it accordingly. Afterward, the muscular tissues are pulled and stitched together through permanent sutures.

All these procedures can be combined or can be performed separately depending upon the condition of the candidate. Moreover, the neck lift can also be combined with traditional facelift or blepharoplasty.

Neck Lift Recovery

It requires comparatively less downtime, and the candidate needs only one week to get fully recovered. You will have discomfort and pain at your treated areas and will subside in the first week of the surgery. You should expect some bruising at the incision sites, and it will vanish in a few days. You will have some swelling at the neck, but it is quite normal to have in the early days of recovery. However, it will settle down in a week. In the case of liposuction, some drainage pipes will be attached through your incisions to avoid fluid accumulation.

Post-Surgery Guidelines

You should follow all the medicines prescribed by your doctor. You should use icepacks and compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort from the treated area. You should avoid all the strenuous activities for two weeks after the surgery. You will be recommended a few neck related exercises which you will be following for a quick recovery. You should apply topical ointments recommended by your doctor. Drainage pipes will be removed after two days of the surgery. Bandages and sutures will be removed after five days of the surgery. You will be able to restore your social life after six days of the surgery. Antibiotics will be prescribed to get rid of the infection.

Risks & Complications

Like any other surgery, neck lift also includes risk factors, and however, it is recommended to discuss all the complications with surgeon pre-operation. The possible risks include;

• Scarring—there will be scars from the surgery, and they might get worse if not taken care of properly. You may need additional surgery to get them fixed.
