Introduction
Neck Lift in Tijuana
The neck lift, also known as lower platysmaplasty, is a procedure that concentrates on the neck and jawline to give a more youthful appearance. This technique eliminates extra fat and loose or sagging skin from the lower face and beneath the chin.
It is sometimes combined with a brow lift or eyelid surgery. It can also be paired with fat transfer to the cheeks or to plump up lips, which commonly tend to thin with age. Dr. Diego Ampudia can help you figure out the right options for you and can also furnish you with an approximation of the neck lift cost in Tijuana. Schedule an appointment today!

Procedure
How Does Dr. Ampudia Perform a Neck Lift?
The doctor typically chooses the type of anesthesia for a neck lift, which can be either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
The degree of improvement desired determines the type of neck lift, either a traditional neck lift incision or a limited incision neck lift. A traditional neck lift incision involves an incision in the hairline at the sideburn, proceeding down and around the ear, and ending at the posterior hair. The surgeon then sculpts or redistributes fat in the jowls and neck and realigns the tissue beneath the neck skin. They also frequently strengthen the platysma muscle, cuts away excess skin, and stretches the skin over the raised features. Liposuction and muscle restoration may require a second incision right under the chin. The incisions are sealed using sutures or skin adhesives.
A limited incision neck lift, on the other hand, may only require incisions around the ear, which are shorter but may provide more limited results.

What Should I Expect While Recovering?
After completing the neck lift surgery in Tijuana, Mexico Dr. Diego Ampudia will wrap a bandage gently around the patient’s face and neck to reduce swelling and bruising. In addition, a small tube may be used to drain any excess blood or fluid that has accumulated under the skin.
The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the surgical site and drains, prescribe medications to aid in healing and reduce the risk of infection, and advise on specific concerns to monitor for in the surgical site or general health. Patients will also be instructed on when to follow up with their plastic surgeon.
To minimize swelling, patients must keep their head elevated above the heart and maintain a straight head position, avoiding excessive twisting or bending of the neck. It is crucial not to apply ice to the neck, as this can compromise blood flow.
