First of all, you should try to maintain a healthy weight by following a healthy diet and regular exercise. Your doctor can help you make informed decisions. Before you go under the knife, it is essential that you keep in mind that you should lose weight first. Doing so will help the surgeon remove more skin and achieve a better result.

You should avoid taking aspirin and other Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Indocid and Voltarol. You need to avoid it for at least two weeks before the procedure to prevent bleeding. If you plan on having your hair colored, permed, or even just touched up, make sure that you do this before your operation, as these chemicals can cause fresh scars.p

If you smoke, it is also essential to take note that stopping for at least six weeks before an operation is performed will help minimize the risk of complications. One particular area that can be affected by smoking is the skin behind the ear.

Before your hair is cut, make sure that you have a bath or shower to thoroughly clean the area. Doing so will help prevent hair from growing near the cutting area.

Other Treatment

Getting a face lifting or neck lifting is the most effective way to improve the appearance of your face and neck. However, these procedures do not reduce wrinkles around your eyes, such as crow’s feet.

Although neck lifts and facelifts can help improve the appearance of your skin, they would not change its texture of it. Other treatments such as Botox laser resurfacing or chemical peels can also help with this. However, these procedures do not alter the appearance of your skin. 

Fat grafting or lipofilling can be performed to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the signs of aging. These procedures are usually performed instead of a full facelift or a facelift. Getting rid of sagging eyebrows can help improve the appearance of your face. In some cases, a facelift and a brow lift can be combined to achieve the desired results.

Main Risks And Complications Of Having Neck Lift And Face Lift

Although there are no known risks associated with a neck lift or facelift, it is important to consider the benefits and risks of the procedure before making a decision. Before going under the knife, talk to your plastic surgeons about the various procedures that you might want to have.

Associated Complications After Procedure

Bleeding– Although it is rare, heavy bleeding can occur following an operation. It can be stopped by taking blood or by performing another procedure. Small areas of bleeding can cause skin damage, which usually resolves in a couple of months. Before surgery, your doctor will talk about your medications and their effects on bleeding. Men are twice as prone to experiencing heavy bleeding.

Scars–  Most of the scar tissue will be hidden in the hairline. It will usually appear red at first, then it will gradually become more purple, and then it will start to fade. Sometimes, these wounds can become painful or even thick, and they may need to be corrected. If they stretch, they can also create a bald patch in the hairline.

Losing Blood Supply To Skin–  If the blood supply to the skin has been lost during surgery, it can cause tissue to die. This can lead to another operation, and it can affect the final result. People who smoke are more prone to this type of damage.

Healing Problems– Sometimes, the edges of wounds can come apart, which can cause them to heal unevenly. This can be solved by dressing them, but it can also require surgery to remove the tissue that isn’t healing properly.

Infection– If you have an infection, antibiotics are usually needed to treat it. This can affect the outcome of your surgery.

Asymmetry– There are areas of the face and neck that are not symmetrical. These tend to settle over time, and they can be fixed with a procedure under local anesthesia. For instance, scar tissue can affect the appearance of the cartilage in front of the ear.

Deeper structures damage– Aside from the facial nerve, the surgery can also damage other structures in the body, like the blood vessels and muscles in the neck. If the facial nerve is damaged, it can cause the movement of the lips and eyebrows to be temporarily affected.

It might change over time- You may notice that the appearance of your neck and face changes due to various factors, such as aging. You may also need additional procedures to maintain the results of your surgery.

Allergic Reaction– Most allergic reactions to tape, solutions, and stitches have been reported. If you experience an allergic reaction, you may need to seek medical attention.
