Before and After Pictures
Who is the candidate?
A candidate for neck lift must be in good health, both physically and mentally and would like to fix the loose neck muscles.
How long should I stay in Thailand for Neck Lift procedure?
In order to get neck lift done in Phuket and have proper recovery, you should stay in Phuket Thailand at least 10-14 days until you are fit and safe to fly back home.
How is surgery performed?
Neck lift will typically take a few hours with general anesthesia which puts you to sleep during the procedure. The surgery will be performed under your chin and/or behind your ears to access the platysma (neck muscle). The surgery period is different depending on your age and the condition of your neck. It should not take more than 2-3 hours. Neck lift may be combined with chin liposuction to removal excess fat or facelift to enhance overall result.
What kind of anesthesia will be used?
If you would like to have neck lift in Phuket, in preparation before surgery, you are required to stop smoking, consuming alcohol, taking any medications and vitamins 2 weeks before surgery. In addition, on the day of surgery you should not eat and drink anything 8 hours prior to surgery. Furthermore, it is also important that you understand the procedure and the potential risks and complications involved.
After surgery you may expect swelling and bruising and it will disappear within a few weeks. Some numbness and discomfort around the incision may persist for a few months. The recovery period varies between individuals, but generally it will take a few weeks. You should be able to return to work after 10-14 days. Strenuous activities, including sex, heavy housework and jogging should be avoided for several weeks.

How is the incision and scar?
The incisions of neck lift performed by a surgeon in Phuket are very inconspicuous by hiding them behind your ears and under your chin in “natural crease lines” so they are barely visible and heal very well. They are not obvious after few weeks.
What are the possible risks and complications?
Infection and blood clots are very rare complications, but possible, in neck lift. The risk of blood clots can be reduced by moving around after the surgery. Another possible complication is poor healing, which can result in scar which can be obviously seen. The risk of complications can be reduced with the surgeon’s advise.
