Say hello to a more youthful you
What’s the first step?
The first step of receiving a neck lift in Toronto at Edelstein Cosmetic is scheduling a consultation with our in-house facial experts, Dr. Fialkov and Dr Hong. Your consultation with our plastic surgeons is important, as it will provide you with the information you need to determine whether a neck lift is suitable for you. In addition, your physiology, age, and other factors are required to devise the right neck lift for you. For example, your age will inform how our plastic surgeons perform your surgery. Part of our signature neck lift technique involves a customizable, graded treatment approach where the surgery is scaled to each patient’s needs.
A patient in their 40s may receive satisfactory results from a neck lift alone, while older individuals with jowls will typically require a neck/lower facelift procedure. Some patients may require a full facelift in order to address problems affecting the neck, jowls, and lower and mid-face (brows must be treated separately). Dr. Fialkov and Dr. Hong’s graded approach avoids unnecessary surgical steps and can minimize scarring.
Male and female patients receive neck lifts that are tailored to their physiology. Male skin is generally thicker and heavier. It also receives a greater blood supply due to the processes responsible for growing facial hair.
You’ll be asked to avoid the use of medications and supplements that increase bruising and bleeding (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Excedrin, fish oil, etc.) for two weeks before your surgery. Certain supplements (such as bromelin and arnica Montana) can help prepare patients for surgery and quicken recovery.
