The entire procedure can last from 2 to 3 hours and is fairly simple and straightforward. Most patients require local anesthesia combined with a sedative while some choose general anesthesia.

Typical downtime for a neck lift is anything from 2 weeks to 4 weeks with results taking up to 6 months to be apparent. The first few days post surgery should be spent in bed with minimal movement as possible.

A neck lift procedure is one of the safest and reliable forms of plastic surgery and can be performed with minimal incision and scarring while still producing a natural look.
