What Is a Neck Lift?

The Procedure: What to Expect

Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Sanjay evaluates your neck structure, discusses concerns, and designs a customized surgical plan.

Anesthesia

Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure comfort.

Surgical Technique

Small incisions are made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. Excess fat is removed, muscles are tightened, and loose skin is carefully repositioned to create a smooth, youthful neck contour.

Duration

The procedure usually takes two to three hours, depending on the complexity and whether additional procedures are combined.

Recovery

After surgery, patients are given detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and achieve optimal results.

Preparation Before Surgery

Proper preparation ensures safety and successful outcomes. Patients are advised to:

  • Medical Evaluation: Complete a full medical assessment

  • Medication Guidelines: Avoid blood-thinning medications as instructed

  • Healthy Habits: Stop smoking and alcohol consumption before surgery

  • Fasting Instructions: Follow anesthesia-related fasting guidelines

What Happens Inside the Surgery Room?

During the neck lift procedure, the following steps are carefully followed:

Anesthesia Administration

Anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free and comfortable experience.

Fat Removal and Muscle Tightening

Excess fat is removed, and underlying neck muscles are tightened to restore firmness and definition.

Skin Repositioning

Loose skin is gently lifted and repositioned to achieve a smoother and youthful neck contour.

Incision Closure

Incisions are closed meticulously with sutures placed in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring.

Aftercare and Safety Guidelines

Post-operative care is crucial for proper healing and optimal results. Patients should:

  • Wear Support Garments: Use compression bandages if recommended

  • Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting and exercise for several weeks

  • Medications: Take prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics as directed

  • Incision Care: Keep incisions clean and dry

Follow-Up Visits: Attend scheduled appointments to monitor healing

Recovery Period

Recovery timelines vary, but general expectations include:

First Week

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. Rest and limited movement are recommended.

Two to Four Weeks

Swelling gradually decreases, and most patients can resume normal daily activities.

Full Recovery

Complete healing may take several months. As swelling subsides, the final refined neck contour becomes fully visible.

Dr. Sanjay Parashar is one of the most genuine doctors that I've met in Dubai. I had a fall and had hurt my nose and right eyebrow. I had a few stitches and was asked to see a plastic surgeon to have the fractures in my nose fixed by one of the doctors at Aster Muscat. During the first consultation itself Dr. Sanjay identified that there was nothing wrong with my nose and that there was nothing that needed to be fixed. I appreciate the honesty and integrity with which Dr. Sanjay handled my case. He finally suggested a CT Scan to clear my doubts and confirm that there was nothing wrong with my nose. Thank you Dr. Sanjay for that truly honest opinion.

Best Doctor ever.. He is the best at his field of work. And our experience with him was the best in every possible way. We visited a number of well known doctors before seeing Dr. Sanjay and no one was able to help with my situation. Only him , he is well aware and has the experience in handling complicated cosmatic cases. Not only that he is very humble, kind and understands tha patient's emotional status. He gives you time to talk and express. He is one of a kind as a surgeon and as a human. Thank you Dr. Sanjay for everything.
