neck lift<\/a>, also known as a cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, is an appealing alternative to living with your waddles. A neck lift tightens the skin and underlying muscles of your neck and improves the contour of your jawline. During the procedure, an incision is made beginning at the level of the sideburns at the hairline and continues along the area around the ear, ending at the back of the hair. The neck skin is lifted and excess fat may be repositioned or sculpted to achieve optimum results. The neck muscle is tightened and the underlying neck tissues are repositioned.
\nAs a less invasive alternative to a facelift, a neck lift can produce dramatic results.<\/p>\nBefore surgery:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Clarify your goals and your expectations.
\n\u2022 During your initial consultation, we will explain your options and go over your expectations.
\n\u2022 As with any surgery, you must be in good health. If you are a smoker, try to cut back, or better yet, quit.
\n\u2022 You will need to take time off work and arrange for help at home, if that is appropriate.
\n\u2022 Be sure to tell us any medications you take or any health concerns you may have.<\/p>\nAfter surgery:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Improvement is noticeable within days of the surgery. Visible bruising and swelling gradually disappear, and most patients can resume social activities after two weeks.
\n\u2022 You should avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for a few weeks.
\n\u2022 Eat well, drink lots of water, take it easy, rest and pamper yourself.<\/p>\nNow is the perfect time to call for a consultation with Dr. Price\u2026meet with him and let him explain more about this confidence-changing procedure: (203) 453-6635.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
