Neck Lift Connecticut, New York

Define Your Neck and Improve Your Confidence

At the Aesthetic Surgery Center, we offer neck lift surgery to meet our patients’ needs. At our Connecticut and New York-area cosmetic surgery practice, we offer a wide range of plastic surgery procedures because we realize that our patients have diverse goals. A neck lift can have a dramatic effect on an individual’s appearance, making them look younger, healthier, and trimmer. Though exercise and diet regimens are effective at building muscle and burning fat, some areas of the body – such as the neck – are resistant to such measures and can be frustratingly difficult to transform. A neck lift is ideal for individuals who have a sagging, loose, or wrinkled neck, as the procedure reshapes muscle tissue, eliminates excess fat, and smoothes out the skin. If you are interested in learning more about neck lift surgery, contact our Connecticut and New York-area practice today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Fredric Newman.

Neck Lift Procedure

If your neck has lost its vitality as a result of aging or weight gain, a neck lift may be right for you! The specific actions taken during a neck lift procedure are highly dependent on the particular patient’s needs, but typically involve removing excess fat, tightening the skin, and reshaping the muscle tissue to produce a smoother, trimmer neck. To achieve this, a local or general anesthetic is first administered, and then incisions are made behind the ears and underneath the chin. The placement of these incisions not only provides the doctor with the ability to reshape the neck tissues, but also makes any residual scarring that may occur inconspicuous. By removing excess fat, pulling the skin taught, and reshaping muscle tissue, the neck becomes more defined and the patient appears younger and healthier. To achieve optimal results, a neck lift may be combined with liposuction or laser wrinkle treatment, though such decisions will be determined upon your initial consultation with Dr. Newman.

Neck Lift Recovery and Results

Patients typically heal relatively quickly after a neck lift procedure, but it is important to note that there is still a recovery process. After your surgery, it is advised that you stay in bed for two or three days and avoid any extraneous activity. Additionally, a compression garment should be worn for about a week to promote healing and help ensure the proper results. Within a week or two, the results of the procedure should be evident, though it can take three to six months to fully heal. It is common for bruising and swelling to occur in the first week or so, but the symptoms will dissipate quickly and are typically not severe.

You can expect a healthier-looking, smoother, more refined neck after your neck lift procedure, with results lasting from five to ten years assuming you maintain your weight. Many of our patients have found that neck lift surgery has a dramatic and positive impact on their lives; with improved self-confidence and body image, our patients enjoy more rewarding social lives and have more energetic dispositions. Though the results of neck lift surgery will have a different impact on different people, we can assure you that the majority of our patients come away extremely satisfied with the results of their procedures.
