The Zigzag Neck Scar

ORIGINAL POST

The Zigzag Neck Scar

Persistent661418March 25, 2023
$1,800
I did my research before having this neck talk and read mostly negative reviews about this exact style of having a neck tuck. I am eight days out from surgery. I had no anesthesia, but rather lidocaine injections as the 2 1/2 hour procedure went along. I was awake the entire time and did not need any cauterization on this procedure. The scar, commonly known as a flat scar is still quite bumpy, but that again it’s only eight days out. During the day, if I have to go out, I cover my scar with bandages. Otherwise, I try to leave it open as much as possible and use mederma advanced scar gel once a day.

Is this standard for any of type of face/neck lift?

If you read negative reviews about that particular style ahead of time, what made you decide to have it done?

I did the zigzag because I didn’t need a full blown lower facelift, and I didn’t want to leave the country. $1800 is a good deal for this procedure since it took 2 1/2 hours for the original procedure and then two weeks later I had revision surgery, which took two hours. I still have the bandages on, so I can’t see the final outcome, but I will post when I am at least one month out from revision. Thank you for your interest.

This is not the standard, but it was the cheapest and the least invasive

Two weeks post op

Using neospirin at night, and Mederma advanced gel during the day. Here I am two weeks out. The large fabric Band-Aid caused irritation, so I have stopped using the big bandage after four applications. I no longer intend to use bandages to cover my scar. Stopped using antibiotics after five days.
