Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction offers distinctive visual changes in terms of before-after comparisons. Due to aging, the skin under the chin line loses elasticity, resulting in sagging of tissues. However, there may also be other contributing factors to sagging of the jowl.
- Frequent changes in weight
- Genetic factors
- Reduction of the collagen tissue under the skin
- Weak chin structure
- Smoking
- Excessive exposure to sunlight
- Sleeping position
An important point to note about neck liposuction is that when surgery is performed at early stages, the operation is much easier with smaller interventions and the results are more successful. Nose Doc Clinic helps you reach the best results with a team of specialist physicians.
How Is Neck Liposuction Performed?
Neck liposuction is the most effective method for neck aesthetic surgery. With this technique the fat cells in the neck are permanently removed. Before the operation, the patient is examined thoroughly, blood tests are done and the medical history is noted. If the patient has no condition impeding surgery, the operation is scheduled. Depending on how extensive the surgery will be, local anesthesia or sedation may be applied.
The jowl is entered with very thin cannulas and excess fat is removed. After the operation, neck lift may also be necessary. If the neck has too much fat tissue, sagging may still be present. In order to prevent this situation, the methods may be combined for the best solution.
How Is The Healing Process After Neck Liposuction?
How long does it take to heal after neck liposuction? The recovery time may vary between 3 and 5 days after the operation. Patients may return to work with caution within 3-4 days. When performed by a highly professional team, the probability of scarring is quite low. In this regard, there is no need for worry. Moreover, if neck lift has not been performed and only fat is removed with liposuction, stitches aren’t required. After the operation, the patient is provided with a special bandage extending from the head to the chin. The bandage must be used following the physician’s instructions.
After the surgery, your physician may recommend pain killers for mild pain. The patient is discharged on the same day of the operation.
What Are Post-Operative Precautions for Neck Liposuction?
For best results after neck liposuction post-operative precautions play an important role. Ice compress must be applied and head must not be tilted forward. Furthermore, the following precautions must be taken:
- Sun exposure must be avoided for a while.
- Movement must be constrained and caution must be taken.
- In order to prevent infections, the medication prescribed must be taken regularly.
Swelling after the operation is normal. However, in case of different complications make sure to inform your doctor promptly. Nose Doc Clinic will help you achieve the best results with its team of specialist doctors.
