Neck Lift
Come with a short list
A neck lift consultation goes better when you arrive with questions already written down. If you live in Redmond or nearby, the questions below cover the visit, the travel and the days afterward. What would happen in your case is for your surgeon to describe.
Neck lift consultation questions
- What would be changed, and what does the surgeon recommend for you?
- Where would the incisions be, and how do you care for them?
- How many days should you plan away from work and public places?
- Does the written quote cover follow-up visits and any revision?
- Where are follow-up visits, and how long is the drive?
Neck lift steps, statistics and revisions
A National Library of Medicine Bookshelf entry is one way to see how the operation is described in clinical terms. Ask your surgeon which parts apply to your neck.
General reading gives context, but it says nothing about one office. A plastic surgery society's article on the beauty of a neck lift is written for patients, so ask the surgeon how often they personally perform a neck lift.
Some research looks at neck lifts across many patients, including repeat operations. A systematic review of revision neck lift surgery is one example. Ask whether the office keeps track of how its own patients are doing afterward.
Planning the days after
A clinic's page on neck lift (platysmaplasty) surgery, recovery and what to expect can help you decide what to ask about your own recovery plan.
