things to consider before moving forward with neck lift surgery:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery and then will subside gradually.
During the first week or two after surgery, you will experience some swelling, bruising and some drainage.
You may be wrapped in dressings that will not be removed until your first follow up appointment.
You should rest with your head elevated in a recliner or with at least 2 pillows for at least the first week after surgery. Try not to sleep on the side of your face but rather sleep with the back of your head on the pillow for about two weeks. Some patients prefer an airline type pillow for comfort.
You may expect to have most of the stitches removed after 5 days, and the remaining stitches removed 1 week later.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.

A lower facelift, or rhytidectomy, is for people who feel they are not ready for a full facelift. Many patients notice a double chin, or excess wrinkling of the neck skin and jowl lines. Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours can also be treated by a neck lift procedure. When the neck area doesn't match the pleasing appearance of the upper face, Dr. Holland may determine a neck lift is a good solution.
post-treatment care
Following a lower rhytidectomy, patients receive detailed post-treatment care instructions from Dr. Holland. These typically involve managing swelling and discomfort. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and to keep their head elevated to minimize swelling. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Holland are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns promptly, ensuring a smooth recovery process and optimal results.
