Should I Be Concerned about the Risk of Necrosis After Revision Neck Surgery? I am having a revision neck lift (had platysmal tightening) It has been 9 months since my surgery and the revision will be in two months. The ps said I had about a 5% chance of getting skin necrosis because of prior surgeries (I had lipo 3 years ago). He did not seem concerned but wanted to provide that warning. Is skin nicrosis a common occurrence or just a precaution? I do not smoke and I am in good health.

A: Risk of Necrosis in Revsiion Neck Lift

Although revision surgery is, by nature, more complicated than primary surgery, skin necrosis should be a rare event in a non-smoker having a revision necklift. Probably 50% of my Facelifts and necklifts are revision procedures and I have never seen this complication in a a revision necklift.

Turkey Neck Plastic Surgery if Prone to Keloids I am a 54 year old female and also am concerned because I develop keloids. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

A: Turkey Neck Options

The good news is that keloids rarely occur in facial surgery, and rarer still with a Facelift procedure. I would recommend a composite Facelift with an aggressive approach toward the neck. The neck portion of the procedure is likely to require removal of fat from above and below the platysmal muscle, partial or complete division of the platysma muscle and surgical tightening of the muscle (platysmaplasty). Poor scarring in a Facelift is generally associated with inappropriate tension of the skin coupled with underdone soft tissue work.

How Much Pain is Involved with a Neck Lift? Will it feel like a bruise? Will it throb, or just tingle?

A: Pain After NeckLift is Minimal

Pain after a Neck-lift is best described as mild discomfort, likely associated with some degree of bruising. This is said assuming that the patient is compliant with postoperative activity restrictions.
