A neck lift is always preceded by several consultations with our experienced surgeon. During the non-binding consultation ample space to ask your questions in a personal conversation. And express your wishes and expectations about the treatment. Our surgeon Dr Thanya Tha-In will assess to what extent your skin is sagging, whether a neck lift is a suitable treatment for you and whether it will give the best results. You will be given full information about the treatment and additional explanations about the entire treatment process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what final result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs will be taken beforehand and laid next to the post-surgery photos. This allows you to see the natural result of the neck lift beautifully.

To understand where you are coming from and why you want a neck lift, we like to take the time to get to know you well first. The most important part of the whole treatment is that we understand what your needs are. Do you want a natural result, appropriate to your age? What are your major pluses and minuses? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you, and you get to take your time with your decision. It is your face! We rebalance your innerbeauty and outer beauty.

We are happy to guide you through the entire treatment and recovery process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so that you are maximally prepared and enjoy your recovery. Your neck will be swollen and feel tight for the few weeks after the neck lift. For mild post-operative pain, taking a paracetamol will suffice. The swelling and bruising will disappear on their own within a few weeks. In the first week, take sufficient rest and sleep supine on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling, reduces the risk of subsequent bleeding and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting in the first three weeks. Do not engage in heavy physical exercise in the first six weeks.

You will reach the best outcome and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. In any case, stop smoking for 4 weeks before and after the procedure. Do not drink hot drinks for the first week to avoid facial congestion and do not chew solid food intensively. If you do do these things, it is more likely that the facial sutures will become strained. Keep moving normally after the neck lift to keep the blood circulation going and the wound healing well. You will be presentable again after one to two weeks and able to resume your daily social activities. In the first three months, do not expose your facial skin to bright sunlight or go under a sunbed or to the sauna. After that, protect your skin with at least Sun Protection. We recommend some connective tissue massages from 3 months after treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft, and promotes recovery.

A neck lift is a common surgical procedure at SkinSurgery Clinics, with a very low risk of complications. Rare complications include an allergic reaction, subsequent bleeding or infection. However, this is rare, as our highly qualified and experienced specialists work according to the state-of-the-art treatment techniques and use the best tools.

Occasionally, specific complications may occur such as nerve damage, asymmetry, hypertrophic (red, itchy) scars, hair loss or numbness of part of your face, which is usually not permanent. When in doubt, contact your treated doctor at SkinSurgery Clinics immediately. Our doctors are easily accessible.
