Why might a high does of ibuprofen be a risk factor for neck lift surgery? For someone who bruises very easily, what concerns should patients be aware of?
Facial surgery outcomes are directly affected by bleeding. Any drug that affects negatively bleeding time will also affect the final outcome of a Facelift or any cosmetic facial surgery.
Ibuprofen prolongs bleeding time in a way similar to aspirin and it should be avoided for at least 2 weeks prior to any cosmetic facial surgery. Other medications in the same class will also affect bleeding and should be avoided.
Is the "chin incision" neck lift technique the best choice for sagging skin on my neck?
The placement of neck lift scars depends on the nature of the neck problem:
- Significant fat deposit in the are below the chin with good skin tone = limited neck lift with short incision in the neck and liposuction
- Lots of skin laxity with "wobble" and folds = limited incisions in front or around the ears
- Lots of skin and significant fat with "bands" extending from the chin down = incision in front or around the ears PLUS incision under the chin
Neck lift is a great less invasive way to rejuvenate a face without a more extensive Facelift. A new option include the SmartSculpt technique using the SmartLipo laser to tighten the lower face and neck with minimal incisions.
