Neck Lift New York, NY | Thomas P. Sterry, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct loose, sagging skin and muscle in the neck region. The procedure focuses on tightening the thin muscle sheet between the collarbone and jawline, effectively restoring a more youthful and defined neck contour.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

• Typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation
• Takes approximately 60-90 minutes
• Involves strategic incisions behind the ears and under the chin
• Muscle tightening and fat removal techniques applied

Customized Neck Rejuvenation in Manhattan

Dr. Thomas Sterry specializes in a technique called corset platysmaplasty, which involves overlapping neck muscles to create a more defined and acute jawline. This approach not only addresses vertical muscle alignment but also enhances lateral neck contours.

Complementary Procedures

While neck lifts can be performed independently, they are often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts for comprehensive results. Patients seeking alternative options might consider non-surgical treatments like KYBELLA® for targeted fat reduction.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect approximately one week of recovery, with an elastic bandage potentially required if liposuction is performed. The result is a more uplifted, youthful neck and a well-defined jawline that can significantly boost self-confidence.

Procedural Location

Dr. Sterry performs neck lift surgeries on an outpatient basis at Mount Sinai Hospital or nearby surgical facilities in Manhattan, ensuring professional and comprehensive care.
