MY NECK IS A TRAIN WRECK. I SHOULD WRITE A EULOGY ABOUT IT!
Question:
My neck is a train wreck. I should write a eulogy about it! I have far too much extra skin on my neck. I would like a necklift and have some concerns. What type of anesthesia is required? Where is the incision? How long do the effects of a necklift last? I am 63 years old.
Answer:
From what you are describing, you would need to do a facelift along with a necklift so that the excess skin can be removed from the facelift incisions around the ears. Doing an isolated necklift in a patient with a large amount of excess skin will leave excess skin behind. Sedation (twilight) anesthesia or general anesthesia can be used for these cases. The results last 10 or so years.
