Usually: A necklift is usually part of management of the lower 2/3 of the face. A facelift therefore usually includes a necklift since these areas are interrelated. The recovery process is usually 5-7 days and not very uncomfortable. I hope this helps. Obviously, a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you decide what is the right approach for you!

Generally yes: A neck lift/face lift procedure is done to address sagging in lower 2/3 of the face. This is an outpatient procedure and should give long standing results in the hands of a experience surgeon. Swelling and bruising can last 3-7 days, with only minor discomfort expected. Seek consolation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon to get recommendations specific to your appearance and desires.

YES: Recovery varies depending on procedure performed. A simple laser assisted liposuction may not even require an incision or much downtime. A more involved procedure with an incision (under chin), extensive liposuction & tightening of the platysma muscle along with lower facelift will require more downtime. Either way tightness and minor discomfort are typical of the recovery.

Necklift recovery: Dear sugarcaneh, the recovery does not involve much pain, just some tightness, swelling and bruising. You should give yourself 2 weeks for all the bruising to resolve before going to an important event. All in all, it is a pretty easy recovery. Best, nima shemirani.
