Advanced Neck Lift in Port Jefferson Station, NY | Hillard Warm, MD, FACS

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A graceful neck portrays a sense of refinement that enhances overall facial appearance. A neck lift can dramatically improve one's aesthetic profile, making patients look years younger and more refined.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

The neck lift procedure, medically known as cervicoplasty or platysmaplasty, involves two specific techniques:

• Cervicoplasty: Removes excess skin
• Platysmaplasty: Tightens loose neck muscles

Surgical Technique

The surgical approach involves strategically placed incisions: one behind each ear and a third under the chin. Through these precise access points, the surgeon carefully tightens and removes excess sagging skin, restoring a smoother, firmer neck contour.

Procedure Specifications

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia
• Procedure Type: Outpatient surgery
• Recovery Time: Approximately two weeks

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically return to work and normal activities within two weeks post-surgery. Initial bruising and swelling are normal and gradually subside. Some patients may experience a "tight" sensation that can persist for several months.

Neck Contouring Outcomes

Neck contouring can achieve dramatic improvements to the neck and lower facial region, providing a more youthful and refined aesthetic profile.
