Pre-Care Instructions
Maintain a nutrient-rich diet and stay hydrated before surgery. We provide a green smoothie recipe to help prepare your body. Do not eat or drink after midnight the night before your surgery.
Prepare your home for recovery. Use pillows to keep your neck elevated, and take time off work as needed.
Post-Care Instructions
Arrange for transportation on the day of your surgery and the next day for your post-op visit. Our numbing medicine can last up to 3 days. Contact Dr. Hunsicker immediately if you experience any bleeding, nausea, or vomiting following your procedure.
Do not engage in strenuous activity, including lifting, pushing, or pulling anything over 10 lbs. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Do not get your incisions wet for 48 hours.
Give yourself plenty of time to rest and recover. Clean your incision and use gauze to pat it dry.
Aging can cause loose skin and changes in fat distribution. In the neck, this can create a “turkey neck” or “double chin,” and can reveal muscle banding. A neck lift aims to improve the contour of the jawline and neck to give you a more youthful look.
Dr. Hunsicker will make an incision under the chin, hidden in a natural skin fold. Then, she will perform a lipo-dissection of the entire neck. She will make additional incisions behind the ear, extending into the hairline to fully visualize the neck.
This process allows her to address muscle bands, excess fat, or jowls. Once complete, Dr. Hunsicker will use a combination of dissolvable and permanent sutures.
Scarring is possible, but should be minimal. Dr. Hunsicker will make small incisions, which will heal and fade over a period of 6 to 12 months. Use the provided scar cream as directed to help during the healing process.
