🗓 Light daily activities: 10~14 days 😊 Most swelling & bruising improve: Over the following several weeks ✨ Final results: Neck contour continues refining over 3–6 months Individual healing varies from person to person.

✦ Swelling and bruising are most noticeable during the first week and may extend beneath the chin or along the jawline. ✦ Temporary firmness, asymmetry, numbness, and a tight pulling sensation are common during early healing. ✦ The neck may initially feel tight as the deeper tissues recover. ✦ Subtle swelling can remain for several months as the final contour gradually settles.

✦ Keep your head elevated and your neck in a neutral position while resting. ✦ Avoid sharply turning, bending, or stretching your neck during early recovery. ✦ Do not massage or press the surgical area unless instructed by your surgeon. ✦ Wear your compression garment according to the clinic’s instructions. ✦ Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, smoking, saunas, and heat exposure during early healing. ✦ Protect healing incisions from direct sun exposure.

✦ Incisions may be placed beneath the chin, around the ears, and sometimes within the hairline, depending on the correction required. ✦ A small incision beneath the chin allows access for fat removal or platysma muscle tightening. ✦ Incisions around the ears may be used to remove excess skin and reposition the neck. ✦ Scars generally soften and become less noticeable as they mature.
