Neck Lift in Atlanta

Typically, your results from your neck lift in Atlanta are visible within a few weeks, though your final results may take several months to fully manifest. After your surgery, swelling and bruising usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, with more refined outcomes becoming apparent as the healing process progresses. Full results, including final skin tightening and contouring, are generally seen after 3 to 6 months.

Recovery involves swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. Most patients return to regular activities and work within 2 weeks. You should avoid more strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure proper healing.

Post-operative care will include keeping the head elevated, wearing compression garments, and following a prescribed regimen for cleaning and medication.

Full healing can take up to 6 months, depending on your individual experience.

The scarring after a neck lift is minimal. During your surgery, your doctor strategically places your incisions in discrete locations, such as under the chin or behind the ears.

Over time, these scars usually fade significantly. The extent of scarring varies based on individual healing and surgical techniques, but most patients find them to be subtle and well-hidden.

Yes, there are some non-surgical options such as Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening treatments that can enhance the appearance of the neck by addressing specific concerns. These treatments typically offer less dramatic results compared to surgical interventions.

That being said, we believe the most natural-appearing results come from choosing a combination of modalities to restore youth. By using non-surgical, injectable, and laser rejuvenation techniques in conjunction with your surgery, we can take a more subtle approach in the operating room. This holistic process provides you with results that are much more beautiful and natural.
