Neck Lift Surgery Neck Lift Swelling - Necklift Numbness By Dr. Jim Greene As with any surgical procedure there is a high chance that you will have numbness as well as swelling. A neck lift is no different and one can have many expectations that cannot be completely fulfilled until this swelling goes down. Since each patient is different, the ability to give an exact length of time for the numbness and swelling caused by a neck lift to fade away is next to impossible. The great news is that a rough estimate of numbness and swelling can be given without too many issues.
	;

		In general the average neck lift patient will be able to show off their new younger looking neck in about three weeks time. The swelling associated with a neck lift can last for several weeks after the completion of the procedure. This is just normal residual swelling caused by the injury to the nerves in your neck. It is important to note that any time a person undergoes any surgical procedure, the body treats it as an injury and the swelling is just a precaution to prevent further injury while it repairs itself.

The incision stitching scars will also be visible for a few months depending on your skin tone and the scar tissue build up near the incisions. In general it takes the average scar six to nine months to fully mature and blend in with the surrounding skin.

Numbness associated with a neck lift will not usually last very long. This sensation is an effect on the nerves which may have been damaged during the procedure. The nerves are attached not only to the skin, but sometimes the muscles as well.

When the fat cells are removed, this causes the nerves to become irritated and there is also a chance of them getting damaged.

Then when the surgeon pulls the skin tight there is also the chance of injury to any nerves that may be attached to both skin and muscle tissue.

The length of time for this numbness to disappear varies from patient to patient and from surgery to surgery.

Talk to your surgeon if the swelling and numbness continues for extended periods or becomes a major issue. In other words if your whole face starts to go numb or it becomes hard to breath, this is when you would talk to the doctor, anything else is usually normal to the injury the neck sustained.

Dr. Jim Greene would like to invite you to learn more valuable information that will help you make a sound decision regarding neck lifts and various other plastic surgery procedures:

Massive Weight Loss Causes "Turkey Waddle" for WLS Patients By Kaye Bailey

A friend of mine who recently lost nearly 150 pounds after gastric bypass was sharing her excitement with an acquaintance. She was excited because all symptoms of her Type II Diabetes were gone and she no longer takes any medication – she feels healthier than ever in her life.

Then the acquaintance, a life-long skinny-minny, burst her bubble, “But doesn’t having that turkey neck bother you? You know, all that wrinkly skin just hanging there?”

What a cruel world. My friend was crushed. It is true, she has a turkey neck. Most people who lose massive weight will have a saggy wrinkly neck so kindly referred to in the cosmetic surgery profession as “turkey waddle”.

A saggy neck is a small price to pay for better health and wellness. Even so, we want to look our best after weight loss surgery and having someone draw attention to this residue of our obesity is disheartening.

There are some surgical options to tighten then neck skin: A neck lift is actually a set of procedures used to enhance the appearance of your neck:

· Cervicoplasty is the procedure used to remove excess skin

· Platysmaplasty removes or alters neck muscles

A plastic surgeon also can perform neck liposuction, which removes excess fat. In some cases, Botox injections may be the answer to your problems if you have fullness or "bands."

A neck lift was out of the question for my friend, so we did some research and found a more holistic approach that yielded some improvement. From Bharti Vyas’ book, “Beauty Wisdom” we found the following advice:

Give your neck a weekly massage
Hold your head in proper alignment – imagine that your head is being pulled upwards by a piece of string attached to the crown
Cleanse your neck night and morning the same as you do your face, starting at the collarbones and working up to the jawline.
Apply a rich-moisturizing cream at night and moisturize with sunscreen during the day. Cover front and sides of neck and the area around the collarbones.
Exfoliate your neck weekly.
For crepey neck, apply almond oil as a nourishing moisturizer.

Ms. Vyas also recommends some simple exercise to tone neck muscles (and *Bonus* these are wonderfully relaxing):

Hold your head in a central position, then lean it as far over as you can towards one shoulder and hold for a count of 10. Your neck may feel rather stiff to begin with. Repeat on the other side, making sure that your shoulders remain still and relaxed throughout. Do five repetitions.
Keeping your chin level, turn your head to one side so that the chin is over your shoulder. Incline the head backward in a “come hither” movement.
Repeat on the other side. Repeat the sequence five times.

My friend follows these practices faithfully. Her neck is not flawless, but to me it’s beautiful. She has collarbones and a chin and a beaming smile on her healthy face.
