Pre-operative Preparations: Pre-operative preparations may include a physical examination, medical history, and discussions about expectations. Patients may need to discontinue taking certain medications and avoid smoking.
Eligibility: Suitable candidates for a neck lift are individuals with sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle banding in the neck area. A consultation with a plastic surgeon is necessary to evaluate eligibility and discuss expectations.
