I'm 53 and in good shape. Have a great doc who did my t- tuck and brst red. 2 yrs. ago. Don't want to wait too long to do a neck lift bc I heard it looks less natural the longer u wait, but want 2 know this: what's the REAL down time? I know everyone's different, but what are the of recovery? Don't need lipo and not having anything else done. I know I'll have to sleep on my back for awhile and take it easy, but I'm more concerned w my appearance during recovery (the irony!) LOL.

Answer: Neck Lift Recovery You need a lower face lift as well as your neck lift, but you are an excellent candidate and at the right age. My neck lifts usually go back to non-strenuous work between 7-10 days, maybe with a little makeup. We take every known precaution to minimize bruising and swelling, which are the two factors that increase your recovery time. Meticulous surgery performed quickly by experienced surgeons results in less bruising and swelling. Drains are a hassle but they also decrease bruising.

Answer: Expect 10-14 day recovery for a necklift/facelift Rejuvenation of the neck requires lifting the skin, removing fat, tightening the platysma muscles, and removing excess skin. When combined with jowl tightening, the surgery is called a facelift--although it is really a lower face and neck lift. In my practice, all sutures are removed by postoperative day 10. Usually patients can return to work at 10-14 days after surgery. There still may be some mild swelling and bruising, but patients do look "presentable". I take the first set of photos at 6 week postop.

Answer: Recovery downtime The recovery after a face lift is defined as what activity are you going to be engage . Normally I tell my patients that 2 weeks after surgery you can be involved is social activities and also driving and be presentable with minimal detectability. It is important that the results and care change dramatically from doctor to doctor so be sure your clarify that with our surgeon.
