Concern About Neck Lift Scar

June 6, 2009
Asked By:TLW in Salem, Oregon

I am scheduled to have a Neck Lift on the 12th but I have some concerns. On my first visit, the doctor told me that the scar would be less than an inch just under my chin. My last visit prior to surgery, he tells me that because I am not having a face lift, he will need to make an incision the shape of a upside down "U" and will be about 2.5 inches. Now, I don't want to go thru with it. What are your recommendations?
