Is there a surgical touch up procedure that can be done after a neck lift to get rid of loose under chin skin? I am 6 weeks post op from a lower face and neck lift. I am very happy with the face lift but as the swelling is going down in my neck I have a lot of loose skin under my chin. Every day it seems to get worse. I have incisions behind and in front of my ears but not under my chin. I spoke with my surgeon and he thinks it looks fine
I'm 6 weeks into my healing and I'm still very swollen under my jaw. When I came home from the procedure I was swollen like a watermelon it was enormous. The swelling is about half the size it was but I'm concerned because it seems to have slowed down and staying the same size since about a week 1/2. I still can't go out in public because the swelling is so noticeable. I'm worried that something might be wrong and I don't see my doctor till next week. What can I do to help with the swelling until I see him again or should I ask to see him early?
Hi, how long does it typically take to see the final results of a neck tuck? I'm 6 weeks post op and all bruising is gone. I have minimal tightness. The only area left to heal appears to be some slight sagging area on one side that is only noticeable when I put my head down and some lumpiness. It continues to go down. Thank you
I am 52 years old had a neck lift and liposuction under my chin six weeks ago. Feel better thankfully but still have lumpiness/bumpy and swollen under chin and jawline area- I still have the tight and tingle feelings at times also, is this normal and just takes a few months to subside and get back to normal? My surgeon is Great maybe Im just inpatient.
6 wks postop revision necklift fails to fix contour issue; PS agrees issue is digastric muscle prominence, not SMGs. Too full submental area and fat-free anterior neck shows musculature; swallowing reveals mechanics of neck function that should be hidden. Hollowed indents are uptucked under submental; digastrics converge to a point under chin. Pressing upwards into the bulging muscle makes submental flat and hollows vanish. Would reducing or removing muscle help? Risks? Experts input please.
I had a neck lift a little over 6 weeks ago at age 50 and it keeps getting worse on right side and in center and chin. At 3 weeks I had 3 lines in the middle towards the top of my neck going up like a smile just on the right side which got worse each day, Looks like he pulled that side to tight. There are now more wrinkles. Also my chin is dented on right side with wrinkles and lumpy skin hanging. Doctors please inform me what happened to my neck and what if anything can be done to fix this.
I had a neck lift and this is the chin incision 6 wks post op. Overnight a few weeks ago (a week after stitches were removed) it seemed to develop a bump that keeps bleeding and scabbing over - repeatedly. I think its a pimple but my husband is worried its the stitches opening. I go for a follow up this week but I just wanted opinions from someone who can tell by looking to alleviate my fears.
