General information on medical treatment

Overview of Neck Lift

Neck lift is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at improving the contour and appearance of the cervical region, correcting sagging and excess skin in this area. With a satisfaction rate above 90%, this procedure can significantly transform the facial profile, providing a younger and more harmonious appearance.

Evaluation and Decision Process

The decision to undergo a neck lift involves various factors. The main indicators include visible platysmal bands, submental fat accumulation, loss of cervicomental angle definition, and excessive neck skin laxity. Non-surgical alternatives may include focused ultrasound or radiofrequency treatments, though with more limited results.

Procedure Preparation

Preparation includes complete laboratory tests, cardiovascular evaluation, and adjustments to current medication when necessary. It's essential to follow specific guidelines about diet and medications in the weeks leading up to surgery, as well as prepare a suitable environment for recovery at home.

The Surgical Procedure

Surgery can involve different techniques, including submental liposuction, platysma muscle plication, and excess skin removal. The procedure typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of work needed.

Recovery Process

Initial recovery requires continuous use of compression bandage and specific care for the operated region. Swelling and possible bruising are common in the first days but improve significantly after the first week. Gradual return to activities must strictly follow medical guidance.

Professional Selection

To ensure safe and natural results, it's essential to consult experienced plastic surgeons. The AvaliaMed platform facilitates access to specialized doctors, allowing you to evaluate previous patient experiences.
