Neck Lift Procedure


As we age our skin become more loose and fallen, making us look older, this phenomenon happens also to out neck skin. Gravity, sun exposure and age make our neck look sagging, sometimes patients describe it as turtle neck due to two long "bands" appearing on the neck. Sometimes it is simply a matter of genetics and sometimes it happens following excessive weight reduction. This procedure is targeted to reverse the above processes and give you a younger appearance. To undergo neck lift you must be in a good mental and physical condition.

This procedure consists of several techniques. A procedure targeted to remove or reshape extra neck muscle, called platysmaplasty. It can be done by making small incisions either under the chin or behind the ears, this allows to access the muscles and shorten then by a technique called 'plication". Sometimes extra muscle is simply removed or anchored with permanent sutures. This can also be done using less invasive laparoscopic technique.

If extra skin is present the surgeon will perform a procedure called cervicoplasty. The incisions are made in the same areas as the previous one. The skin is lift and organized in a desired position, then it is secured in place by biological glue or non-absorbable stitches. If an extra fat is present a liposuction is also performed. A small cut is made below the chin through which a special cannula is inserted. Through the cannula the extra fat is removed.

Neck lift usually takes 2-3 hours depending on the extend of the operation and the additional procedures performed (such as facelift or brow lift). It can be done using general or local anesthesia, depending on your preference.

Every procedure has its ricks. The most common complication is bleeding and hematoma formation, therefore before the operation you should stop taking any anti coagulation medications for at least two weeks. Hematomas can lead to blood clots formation and consequently skin necrosis. Aggressive liposuction may lead to scaring and adhesions of the muscles, giving your neck "cobra like" appearance. Infection and allergic reaction to anesthesia are also possible.

For the first days following surgery your neck will look swollen with bruises you may feel different sensations of burning, tingling and numbness. Those will resolve in a couple of weeks. Most people can return to work after 10-14 days. You'll have to avoid sports activities for at least 3 weeks

  • Profile of microorganisms and antimicrobial resistance at a tertiary care referral burn centre in Iran: Emergence of Citrobacter freundii as a common microorganism.

    Burns. 2008 Mar 28;

    Authors: Khorasani G, Salehifar E, Eslami G

    Infection and antimicrobial resistance are important issues in severe burn. The aims of this prospective study were to investigate the profile of microorganisms and resistance to antimicrobial agents in a tertiary referral burn centre; 113 people aged >10years, with partial- or full-thickness burns, were included in the study. A total of 733 samples including 275 swabs, 164 tissue biopsies, 258 urine samples, 26 blood samples and 10 sputum samples were collected, from which 124 microorganisms were isolated. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Citrobacter spp were the most prevalent isolates (57.3% and 35.5%, respectively); 95.5% of Citrobacter. isolates were Citrobacter freundii. Antibiogram results obtained from 15 antimicrobial agents demonstrated that imipenem was the most effective agent against P. aeruginosa, followed by ciprofloxacin and piperacillin/tazobactam (67.9%, 43% and 37.5% sensitive, respectively). At least 60% of all Citrobacter isolates were sensitive to various antimicrobial agents, the highest sensitivity being obtained by ceftazidime and cefepime (81.6% and 78.4%, respectively). Sensitivity of P. aeruginosa isolates to the agents of each antimicrobial class was significantly different (p<0.001). The incidence of C. freundii and the resistance of P. aeruginosa to anti-pseudomonas agents were exceptionally high.

  • Clinicians have been perplexed by the fact that some patients given the drug cetuximab -- an immune-based therapy commonly used to treat persons diagnosed with head and neck cancer, or colon cancer -- have a severe and rapid adverse reaction to the drug. Sometimes the reaction includes anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition characterized by a drop in blood pressure, fainting, difficulty breathing, and wheezing. Now researchers funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered that specific pre-existing antibodies cause the severe reaction to the drug.
