How is the Procedure Done?
Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
Incisions
The surgeon makes discreet incisions behind the ears and/or under the chin to access the underlying neck structures.
Tissue Manipulation
Excess fat may be removed via liposuction, while loose or sagging skin is lifted and repositioned.
Muscle Tightening
The platysma muscle may be tightened to reduce neck banding and create a smoother neck contour.
Closure
Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures.
Recovery Time
- Swelling and bruising around the neck and jawline, which gradually subside over a few weeks.
- Instructions for post-operative care, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities.
- Return to normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks.
Risk Factors
- Infection at the incision sites.
