Contoured Neckline

Thankfully, Dr. Albert and his extensively trained surgical team are here to help. Dr. Mark G. Albert is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a deep well of training and experience when it comes to creating impressive, naturalistic results with neck lift surgery in NYC. This procedure can help you enjoy a smoother, more contoured neckline and all the boosted self-confidence that comes with it as you show off your elegant look and enjoy a greater number of wardrobe choices. If you’d like to learn more about what the neck lift can do for you, our team is here to help.

Is the Neck Lift Right for Me?

When you visit Dr. Albert for your consultation, he’ll have the opportunity to learn about your cosmetic goals and perform a brief physical exam that lets him understand your physical characteristics. Taking stock of the degree of skin laxity that you present, for example, will help him recommend the procedure that is ideal for you and your goals.

The neck lift is an ideal way to address issues like:

  • A double chin
  • Submental fullness
  • Sagging jowls
  • Excess skin or fat
  • Neck bands
  • Loose or lax neck skin

The Day of Your Neck Lift in NYC

Dr. Albert will customize your surgical plan according to your specific cosmetic goals and will explain to you exactly how he’ll create your results during your preoperative consultation. In most cases, the incisions are made around your ears so that they’re easily hidden after your recovery. These incisions will enable Dr. Albert to reposition sagging skin, lift the underlying tissues and musculature, and trim away any excess fat or skin that might be keeping you from enjoying a more elegant and toned appearance. The process typically takes about one to three hours to complete, at which point you’ll be able to return home after spending some time in our comfortable recovery area.

The Recovery Period

After the Surgery

After your neck lift in NYC, you’ll get to return to your home, but you’ll need a friend to drive you home as the anesthesia wears off. You’ll need about three weeks to recover from the procedure, and you may need to wear a chin strap or other type of compression garment to help mitigate the presence of swelling and bruising as you recover.

Getting Back to Normal

Your neck will feel tight and sore as you start the recovery process, and we’ll ensure that you have everything you need to stay comfortable as you get ready to enjoy your final results. Many of our patients find that they are able to fully rejoin their normal schedules after about four weeks of rest and recovery.

What are the different techniques used in a neck lift?

Common techniques include:

  • Traditional Neck Lift: Involves incisions around the ears and possibly under the chin to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying muscles.
  • Mini Neck Lift: Targets less severe signs of aging and involves shorter incisions and less invasive techniques.
  • Platysmaplasty: Specifically focuses on tightening the platysma muscles in the neck to address banding.

    • How long do the results of a neck lift last?

    Results can last from 5 to 10 years or more, depending on factors like age, skin type, and lifestyle. While a neck lift can significantly improve appearance, it won’t stop the aging process, so some gradual changes may still occur over time.

    What are the risks and complications associated with a neck lift?

    Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, anesthesia complications, and potential issues with wound healing. Some patients may also experience temporary numbness or asymmetry. Choosing an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon can help significantly minimize these risks.

    How much does a neck lift cost?

    The cost of a neck lift varies widely based on factors like the surgeon’s experience, geographic location, and the complexity of the procedure. Additional costs like anesthesia and facility fees should also be considered.

    Will a neck lift change my facial expressions?

    A well-performed neck lift should enhance your appearance without affecting your natural facial expressions. The goal is to improve contour and firmness while preserving your overall facial harmony.

    Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

    Yes, many people choose to combine a neck lift with other procedures such as facelifts, chin augmentation, or eyelid surgery to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Your surgeon can help determine the best combination based on your goals.

    Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?

    Based on your concerns and goals, you might want to get a neck lift with liposuction. A neck lift plus liposuction may be best if you are concerned about both loose skin and fat pockets in your neck.

    Will I have visible scars?

    Your neck lift will start with one incision beneath the chin, as well as two more close to the ears. These are placed so the scars are difficult for others to see.
