Answer: Swelling and bruising from neck lipo and lift Each patient is unique when it comes to swelling and bruising after a neck lift and neck liposuction. Some of my patients have had virtually zero bruising even with aggressive liposuction and surgery, while others bruise extensively even with minor procedures. Some degree of bruising and swelling is to be expected. If bruising occurs, it usually resolves within 7-10 days, but some patients will have bruising that last for several weeks. This can be covered with makeup, and generally does not tend to linger as long in the neck as it might in other areas such as under the eyes or around the mouth.Be sure to discuss the expected post-operative course with your surgeon prior to surgery.All the best,

Answer: Swelling and bruising Hi! Thanks for your question. Everyone bruises and swells a little differently, but most people can cover any remaining swelling and bruising with makeup within about a week.

Answer: Necklift: swelling and bruising hello cbowlin While each patient is different, as a general rule, patients can expect to recover from their necklift in about three weeks. During recovery, patients experience swelling, which should go down after two days, and bruising or discoloration, which will disappear in about two weeks. #swelling #bruising

Answer: Neck Lift and Neck Lipo Recovery Thank you for your question. Neck Liposuction will cause more trauma to the skin (than just neck lift) therefore I would suggest bruising and swelling may take about 2 weeks to settle. I will always strap my patients chin after neck liposuction to ensure that swelling and bruising can be reduced as much as possible. Please see your plastic surgeon for regular follow ups.All The Best

Answer: Neck lift recovery Neck lift recovery, on average, takes 12 days. The first night you will have a dressing on around the neck that will be removed the next morning. Afterwards, we have our patients wear a light elastic band around the neck the first week as much as possible. Also, the first week, we recommend no heavy lifting, working out, or bending over. So, this week, you can't lift your kids or your pets or tend to your garden. You really want to take it easy otherwise you'll worsen the bruising and swelling.On day 7, the stitches are generally removed, you're allowed to wear makeup in our practice, and we allow you to start working out. The problem with the second week is the bruising and swelling. You can do things around the house but you may not want to be seen at work or by your friends until day 12 after surgery.
