52 Yr Old Fighting Gravity

Amazing Neck lift results! I am only 4 days post op, but am so beyond happy! I have had very little pain, swelling or bruising. I feel really good! Dr. Boeckmann has been really great with communication and his technique is showing to be almost flawless. I can't wait to wake up everyday to see the newest changes! I was also very good with taking care of myself pre-op. Arnica Monatan and Bromaline started 4 days prior to surgery. No alcohol, ibrophen for 2 weeks. I only took my normal magnesium, and zinc before surgery. Post op foods were salmon, cottage cheese, bone broth and lots of water!

You look great! I live in South OC and have been wanting a neck lift as well. I haven't gone to any consultations yet. I might go to your doctor. How long do you have to stay off work? What was the approximate price for this procedure. Thank you!

I highly recommend him. I think he is incredibly careful and has a gentle style which helps the recovery! I had 3 different procedures. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a price on here. I will say that I thought is was very reasonable. I have seen the same procedures much higher elsewhere! Good luck, I had a really good experience and felt completely taken care of by everyone there!

Sorry, I was up and out of the house in a week, but I did get tired. I would say 2 weeks would be a good estimate.

Hello, I am having a neck lift this Tues. and I am very nervous about bruising, swelling and scars. You appear to have experienced very little bruising and swelling. How are your scars? Are they around the front and back of your ears?

I took arnica montana and bromaline a few days before my surgery, no ibuprphen, or alcohol for 2 weeks prior. I'm sure it helped! I had 1 tiny bruise under my chin. My scars were in front of the ear lobes, behind the ear and in the hairline and one 1inch scar under my chin fro the necklift.. The front ones, once the stitches were out, you couldn't even tell! Still have scars in the back, but my hair covers them. Good luck with it! I am so happy with mine!

Thank you so much for your reply! It makes me feel better to read about your experience. For some reason I have been more anxious about this than I originally thought I would be. I will go buy arnica and bromaline tomorrow.
