Do I qualify for a neck liposuction?
Generally, people who are over 20 years old with good skin elasticity and excess fat on the neck or chin area are good candidates for this procedure.
Will I feel pain during the surgery?
The certified plastic surgeon will use either local or general anesthesia, so you will not feel any discomfort during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience mild discomfort, numbness, and swelling. If you experience any unusual symptoms, it is important to contact your specialist immediately.
What is the estimated recovery time for this surgery?
Typically, patients can resume normal activities within the first week after surgery. However, it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or physical labor for at least 4 weeks or longer. The swelling and bruising should gradually subside during the first few weeks. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative instructions and precautions to promote optimal recovery.
