Does a neck lift ever have any serious complications? i've been thinking about having a neck lift, but i've never had any surgery, and it scares me. i've heard about possibly life-threatening complications from other surgeries. how risky is a neck lift?

All : All surgeries have risks. Neck lift surgery is not particularly risky, though. The surgery itself is relatively superficial, in that we're mainly working with the skin and underlying muscle layer only. Your surgeon can best discuss the range of risks and make sure you're a good surgery candidate.

I : I have been doing them for 33 years and god willing have not had any serious complications.I guess soemone could be in the middle of a necklift or facelift and have a life threatening heart attack but life is a chance always.www.beautybybrueck.com.

In : In any surgery there are inherent risks. Your operating surgeon should tell you of these risks before you decide to have the procedure. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Neclift: During necklift life threatening complications are rare. However, nerve damage is possible leading to crooked smile, loss of sensation to the ear and these can be permanent.

All surgery has risk: The most worrisome ones after a neck lift are a major hematoma of the neck, infection, bad scarring, numbness or nerve injury.

Necklift risks: Are extraordinarily low in the proper surgical hands. But it's much more likely you'll have a poor result from inadequate surgery than have a serious complication like death, heart attack, stroke, blood clot, or nerve damage. I've never had one of any of these in 27 years of doing facelifts/necklifts. Is that because i'm good or because i'm careful? Or both? Luck has no role, but experience does.
