Question

I would like to know the advisability of male neck skin removal at 75 and the likely costs and recuperation time involved?

Answer

To some extent, it depends on the general health and ongoing medication.

The simplest intervention is a direct removal of neck skin in the central part, which leaves are better contour in the area but also a fine scar. Such an operation can be carried out under local anaesthetic, and will involve usually approximately 10 days to 2 weeks for the recovery period.

More extensive surgery is suitable if the general health is very good, and the recovery period may be 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the degree of bruising.
