What’s the First Step?

To begin your neck lift journey in San Diego, you will first attend a private consultation with Dr. Tiffany/ Pham, which includes a medical and physical assessment. The doctor will take all the time needed to fully understand your goals for improvement and ensure that all your questions are answered with precision and care. She will explain the risks of the procedure, the recovery requirements, and the expected results. Once the doctor approves your candidacy and you make a decision to move forward, we can book your appointment. You will then receive a pre-surgical checklist to follow, ensuring a seamless, stress-free treatment process.

What to Expect on the Day of Neck Lift Surgery

Your surgery will be performed under anesthesia, allowing you to rest deeply while Dr. Tiffany Pham eradicates signs of aging and restores a vital, energized appearance. She will make a small incision under the chin, with additional incisions in front and behind the ears. Through your incisions, Dr. Tiffany Pham will tighten the underlying neck muscles and the fat and tissue layers. She may opt to combine chin and neck liposuction with your neck lift to ensure a more sculpted, well-defined jawline. You can expect your surgery to last around 2-4 hours.

Neck Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Neck Lift Care

After your San Diego neck lift, Dr. Tiffany Pham will apply a compression garment to the treated area. You may feel a sensation of tightness and soreness as the anesthesia wears off. Swelling and bruising will be present. Surgical drains will be present and removed in the first few days after surgery. Within 5-7 days, the doctor will remove your sutures. Most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 14 days; however, strenuous exercise should be avoided for around 4-6 weeks. Also, make sure to sleep with your head elevated for the first week of the healing process, as this can help to reduce postoperative swelling.
