Turkey Neck Review. London, GB

I contacted Dominic Bray of Harley Street who concentrates solely on facial surgery, as far as I know. I was unhappy with the upper part of my turkey neck and after reading reviews of his patients, I had a consultation with him a few months ago to find out whether it was possible for him to make as an improvement to my neck. He listened very completely to my concerns and, after a careful facial examination, he showed me in a mirror how he could help achieve the result I wanted, and I felt quite confident that this was a careful surgeon who could given me the result I wanted. Dominic carries out all of his surgery by sedation and local anaesthetic only, rather than by general anaesthetic in hospital. I was given a date for surgery to take place near the end of November, but I received an email a few weeks later concerning a postponement from a lady who was suffering from a slipped disk and I was more than pleased to accept her cancellation. I therefore had my operation carried out a few months earlier - in fact yesterday afternoon, Tuesday the 8th September and spent the previous night in an first class hotel with my husband, just 4 minutes walk away from the clinic. I became quite anxious several days beforehand but once Dominic had greeted me and introduced me to his anaesthetist, I felt far more relaxed. He has a wonderful team of very approachable and helpful staff . On the evening after surgery, Dominic visited me at the hotel to examine my face and neck and replace the bandages. He gave me a cloth ice cube bag to help reduce the welling (the hotel provided the ice cubes). The next morning I want to his clinic where I had my hair washed, lymphatic drainage carried out and was placed under an infra-red lamp to start the healing process. A head and neck support was also supplied and fitted which I have to wear for 20 hours out of 24....to be taken off when I have visitors or go to the shops. I was also given some lubricating cream to soften the stitches, which unfortunately I left at the clinic, but this is being posted on to me by Dominic's delightful PA, Lucy. Since surgery yesterday, Dominic has since emailed me the photos which he had taken this morning....less than 24 hours after surgery, and so far I am extremely delighted with the result of his surgery on my neck which has flattened out the turkey neck far better than I expected was possible. In fact I always had a double chin and it is now better than I can ever remember having!!! Since it was less than 24 hours since surgery, my face is still of course very swollen, which is to be expected after facial surgery, and it will take some time for the swelling to settle down. He says he has also restored some of the fullness to my mid facial area and has also addressed the asymmetry of my jawline. You will see from the photos that my neck is very bruised, as he carried out a great deal of work on my neck muscles to achieve the result I required. He also made a small incision under my chin to remove two sacs of fat by liposuction. There is also a smaller bruise on my face which will look better in a few weeks time although the neck bruising will take longer, due to the degree of work done there. I will probably be able to cover it with makeup in a few weeks time. The incision stitches will be removed in a weeks time.

Everything is going as expected. The bruising on my neck is turning yellow, which is always a good sign, and in a few weeks time I will not need to hide bruises under a scarf. Dominic did a great deal of work on my neck muscles and liposuction of fat pads, and I am extremely delighted with the outcome, which has never looked so good. The swelling has also reduced and I hope my hollow cheeks will also be a thing of the past.

I wanted to show the swelling (and bruising) is going down in a week since surgery
