Neck Lift New York, NY | William Lao, M.D. Plastic Surgery

Introduction to Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the neck area. As people age, the neck loses its sharp transition from chin to neck, often developing a "turkey neck" appearance characterized by loose skin and vertical muscle bands.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift involves removing excess skin, repairing underlying muscle structures, and recontouring the neck to create a more youthful, defined profile. Dr. Lao customizes each procedure based on individual patient needs, ranging from simple liposuction in younger patients to comprehensive neck and face rejuvenation in older patients.
