During your neck lift consult your doctor will carefully discuss your concerns and your goals with you.
To make your neck lift consultation a success, plan on discussing the following information with your doctor:
- List of previous surgeries
- Your past and present medical conditions
- Treatments you have received
- Medication(s) and nutritional supplements(s) you are taking especially ones that affect bleeding
During your visit you will discuss with your doctor the factors that may affect your neck lift results such as gaining or losing a significant amount of weight. If you have realistic desires to lose more than 15 pounds in the near future, it is important to discuss this with your surgeon, as your weight loss may affect the results of your neck lift.
As part of your neck lift consult your face and neck will be evaluated and photographed for your medical records. Options and a recommended course of treatment along with the outcome and risks will also be discussed. Personal desires are key in the decision making process.
