What to Expect at your Consultation
After a focused physical examination, your surgeon will provide preliminary recommendations and explain what you can expect from surgery.
Once your surgeon determines his surgical plan, our aesthetic coordinator will produce a written quote, which lists all costs of your proposed surgery so that there are no surprises. At that time, an appointment is set for your pre-op visit.
Pre-Op Visit
Much is covered during your pre-op visit. First, one of our highly trained medical assistants will take pre-op photos. Next, your surgeon will explain the surgical technique to you and thoroughly inform you as to what you can expect, including any potential complications. Note that all procedures involve some risk, but major complications are rare. Dr. Perrotta or Dr. Luppens will then obtain a more complete medical history from you and perform a final pre-op physical examination, including a check of your vital functions to ensure that you are physically fit for surgery. All informed consents for surgery will be filled out at this appointment and final payments are due at this time. You will be notified 24 hours prior to your surgery with your arrival time.

Post-Op Recovery
You should be able to shower 1-2 days following surgery, and you will probably be asked to wear the neck band for 1-2 weeks. Any bruising and swelling should disappear within three weeks of surgery. After your procedure, you will follow up with us several times so that we can monitor your healing.
FAQ’s
Who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates for a neck lift include men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of their necks due to excess fat, loose skin, or visible muscle bands. This procedure suits those seeking a more youthful neck and jawline contour.
When will I see the results?
Results from a neck lift are noticeable immediately after surgery, but the outcome becomes more apparent as swelling and bruising subside, typically within three weeks.
How long do the results last?
A neck lift provides long-lasting results. While the surgery does not halt aging, many patients enjoy the benefits for several years. Ongoing care and lifestyle choices can influence the longevity of the results.
What should I do before and after?
Before the surgery, patients should follow specific instructions from their surgeon regarding medications, fasting, and preparation for recovery. After the procedure, adhering to postoperative care guidelines, such as wearing a compression garment and managing activity levels to support healing and optimize outcomes, is essential.
Is there any downtime or side effects?
Most patients can return home on the day of surgery. Recovery typically involves wearing a neckband for 1-2 weeks and managing swelling with cold compresses. Bruising and swelling generally resolve within three weeks. Downtime varies based on the surgery’s extent but typically includes a few days to a week before returning to normal activities.
What can I expect?
During your consultation, Drs. Perrotta and Luppens will discuss your goals for the neck lift. The procedure may involve liposuction, surgical removal of excess skin, tightening muscle bands, or combining these techniques. The surgery is performed under local or IV sedation. Incisions are discreet, and postoperative care includes follow-up visits to monitor healing.
