Neck lift and liposuction

Swelling is normal after every procedure.  It is difficult to assess how much swelling you will incur because it really varies on an individual basis and the amount or work that is performed.

Cbowlin,

Bruising and swelling should be minimal after neck liposuction and/or lift. It really depends on you. If you bruise easily when you bump into something, then you should expect to have more bruising than someone who never bruises. You can also take Arnica Montana pills or apply cream which have been shown to decrease bruising. Also, if you have Smartlipo of the neck, the laser helps reduce bruising by coagulating the small blood vessels. Good luck with your surgery.

Neck lifts and Lipo almost always go well. I had a patient have a necklift 2 weeks ago and was filming a commercial in 7 days. My favorite way to minimize bruising and swelling is a compression neck garment. Other supplements and dietary changes help, but compression and good surgery are the key!
