Surgical procedures such as neck lifts, or lower rhytidectomy, are used to remove excess skin and fat from the neck and tighten the underlying muscles to improve its appearance. Here are some ways Direct Primary Care (DPC) can assist patients undergoing neck lift surgery throughout their procedure.
1. Pre-Procedure Evaluation and Consultation
It is important to undergo a thorough evaluation before undergoing a neck lift to determine if you are a suitable candidate and to discuss your expectations and goals. The DPC provider will coordinate this evaluation, assessing your overall health status, medical history, and pre-existing conditions that may affect your surgical candidacy. Furthermore, they will facilitate consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in neck lift procedures, ensuring that you receive expert guidance and customized care.

To help you make an informed decision about your surgery, your DPC provider will provide valuable education and counseling, answering any questions or concerns you may have along the way. Anesthesia options, incision placement, and postoperative care instructions will be explained along with the steps involved in the neck lift procedure. To optimize your surgical outcomes and promote a smooth recovery, your provider will provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, skincare routines, and medication management.
3. Referral to Reputable Plastic Surgeons
While DPC providers do not perform neck lift surgery themselves, they can facilitate referrals to experienced and reputable plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic procedures. In order to provide you with skilled and qualified care, your DPC provider will have established relationships with trusted plastic surgeons in your area. To ensure that your needs are met, they will coordinate your referral, communicate your treatment goals and preferences to the surgical team.
