Cervicoplasty (Neck Lift) Recovery

First Week:

Swelling and bruising: These are the most prominent initial effects, peaking within the first 24-48 hours. They can significantly obscure your surgical outcome, making it difficult to assess early results.
Discomfort and tightness: You may experience some soreness and feeling of tightness around your neck, which is normal and manageable with medication.

Second Week:

Gradual improvement: Swelling and bruising start to subside, revealing a clearer picture of the initial tightening and lifting effect.

Third Week:

Significant progress: Most of the swelling and bruising should have resolved by now, allowing you to appreciate the improved neck contour and jawline definition.

Fourth Week and Beyond:

Refined results: Continued healing brings further reduction in any remaining swelling, with the final, refined results becoming more evident.

Full Recovery:

What is The Difference Between Cervicoplasty and Platysmaplasty?

Cervicoplasty is a broader neck lift procedure focusing on overall rejuvenation. It addresses excess skin, wrinkles, platysma laxity, and fat deposits, while Platysmaplasty aims to tighten and re-drape this underlying muscle to address sagging skin and jowls caused by its weakening.
