    I am six month from neck and face lift, my result is horrible, a lot of bomp on my neck and loose skin. Horrible and still numbness, my surgeon never recommended me the velcro strap

    Thank you. I have those bumps and it was a real relief to hear you say they will go away. I am doing my massage every day, and I am at 12 weeks post. My doctor has not been concerned and said just keep massaging, but it really makes me feel better to hear you confirm that too. Except for those bumps my results are beautiful. I am 64 and I really think I look about 35. Lovely.

      Yes the bumps are pretty unsettling. It’s a concern, because it looks like you'll end up with chipmunk cheeks or the jowls are still going to be there. So it's a relief to know that this is normal and will go away.

    Dr. Kopelman please show some of your before and after results. I am considering a 'full' procedure, including fat transfer.

    Thank you Dr. Joel - We don't see such a sympathetic plastic surgeon everyday. Do you believe that entering price ranges, even estimations would help us? I am considering it, but have no idea about prices.

      No a neck lift really coffins the improvement to the neck. There is an incision behind the ear as well . A" mini lift " lifts the face upward and involves a more extensive incision and manipulation of tissue.

    Thank you so much for posting this video. I am 6 days post op for face, neck, and brow lift. I am suppose to get my drains removed tomorrow but the forehead drain is still pretty red. Is this normal? I am not in any pain at this point but the anxiety and depression are very real.

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Yes! This is very normal. You should expect swelling for a 1-2 weeks before your recovery starts to really become apparent.

    After facelift how long have to wear straps?

  • @trinita8828
    @trinita8828 Před 4 měsíci

    Dr. Kopelman what kind of massage do you recommend? I am 10 days post-op and still swollen, I also have those bumps, and one of my eyes is more swollen than the other. I am using a lot of cold packs. I am 65. Thank you.

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před 4 měsíci

      Lymphatic massage is sometimes helpful if you can find a competent person to do this technique

  • @nancyhamilton1993
    @nancyhamilton1993 Před rokem

    Thank you Dr Kopelman. I am six weeks post op from a deep plain face and neck lift. I developed a seroma on my neck and now continue to have swelling under my chin and a bogginess beneath the swelling. Will this be permanent? I am going for massage and lymphatic drainage twice a week. I massage it myself three times a day. Sleeping on a wedge pillow and still using my chin strap at night.I have had one of three Fraxel dual treatments and one Kenalog injection. I’m very depressed about how it looks. In your experience, will this likely resolve or will I need a revision next year? Thank you so much for your thoughts.

    How long before I no longer have to worry about ripping stitches in my neck? It’s been 4 weeks and I’m still being really careful

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před 10 měsíci

      After the sutures have been removed. And you have waited 7-10 days you have nothing to worry about

  • @miagamesluz2655
    @miagamesluz2655 Před měsícem

    Do you sleep sitting up? Thank you

    • @drkopelman
      @drkopelman  Před měsícem

      No you do not need to sleep sitting up. I just recommend that patients sleep elevated with pillows after surgery for the first 7-10 days to help decrease swelling.
