Neck lift

There comes a time when your skin loses its youthful elasticity.

No matter how well you take care of yourself and your skin, there comes a time when your skin loses its youthful elasticity. Unfortunately, this includes sagging skin. Sagging skin in the neck is one of the ageing processes that we are happy to help you get rid of. Although we can’t stop time, we can certainly help you slow down the effects of time on your skin and sometimes even reverse them for a few years. If you suffer from too much loose skin in your neck (‘turkey neck’) we have good news for you. It can easily be remedied with a neck lift, also known as a Z-plastic.

No more turtlenecks, buttoned up shirts and scarves! After our neck lift you will be proud of your neck again.

What happens with a Z-neck lift (Z-plastic)

This procedure is performed under local anesthetic. The surgeon makes an incision in the shape of a Z, under your chin and removes the excess skin. This treatment only affects the neck and leaves a visible scar. You may get the best result by combining this treatment with liposuction [link to liposuction]. It may also be that our surgeon advises a different procedure, or a combination of procedures because the muscles have also slackened. Ask our experienced expert during a free consultation about the possibilities available to achieve what you wish for.

What happens with a classic neck lift

This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ears, sometimes up to the hairline. Then he carefully loosens the skin and shortens the flaccid muscles. The skin is then tightened and stitched. Sometimes a further Z-plasty is necessary to remove excess fat and skin and restructure the local muscles again.

The result

You will see results as soon as the bandage comes off. After 1 – 1.5 months the result is even more visible. The scars are at the ear, under the chin or in the hairline. The plastic surgeon always performs the procedure in such a way that the scars are as inconspicuous as possible. The result depends on the chosen procedure and the health of the patient. The effects of the neck lift remain visible for about 10-15 years.

Recovery after a neck lift

You don’t usually feel much pain after a neck lift. You will wear a support bandage immediately after the procedure to prevent swelling and to speed up healing. You wear this bandage at least 1 week after the neck lift. There is a risk of swelling and bruising around the treated area. A few weeks after the neck lift you will usually already have an idea of the result. However, the final result of the neck lift, as in almost all plastic procedures, can only be fully assessed after one year.

Safety through precautionary measures

Our care team will not only help you in advance with your preparations and during your intake interview with the surgeon, but will also guide you after the surgery, so that you know what to expect and heal as well and as quickly as possible. Once you have decided which surgery you want, you will receive a patient document with general information. The surgeon will give you advice that is specific to you.

The best result is obtained by taking into account the following general advice:

Before the surgery

Stop smoking four weeks before the surgery
Start taking Arnica drops two weeks in advance to reduce bruising and swelling.
If you are taking medication such as Marcoumar, Sintrom/Sintrommitis or Asprocardio, consult your surgeon, the same applies to Aspirin or painkillers with aspirin such as Advil, Diclofenac and others.
Do not use blood thinning medication before surgery.
Don’t forget to arrange transportation home. Driving yourself after the surgery is not allowed.
Arrange for someone to help you in your home for the first few days.

The day of the surgery

Take a shower, after the surgery you may not shower for at least 24 hours
Do not use make-up or facial cream
Do not wear jewellery or watches
Bring a scarf to protect your throat from direct sunlight after the surgery.

After surgery

Make sure you are not alone at home.
Consult with the doctor if it is necessary to cool (tip: freeze some bags of peas, which you can use to cool).
Rest preferably lying on your back so the swelling goes down faster.
Keep the blood circulation active by taking walking about. This promotes healing.
Shower is on average possible 24 hours after the procedure, but make sure the area remains as dry as possible.
Working This is usually possible after a week if the work involves moderate to light physical exertion, but consult with your doctor first.
After a week you can move normally again and gently take a walk and ride a bicycle.
For the first three weeks after surgery, make sure that you have do not push, lift and bend.
Exercising is allowed six weeks after surgery.
Do not drive the first period yourself. You can ask your insurer whether or not you are insured after the surgery as a driver.
Avoid direct sunshine on your wounds for the first months. So no sun or sunbed. Don’t forget to cover them properly when you’re planning on enjoying the sun with the rest of your body.

Risks and complications

It is important for your own well-being and health not to withhold medical information and to follow the advice of the plastic surgeon.
