Neck Lift in Islandia, NY | CAMEO Surgery

Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

The face and neck age faster than other body areas due to constant environmental exposure and sun damage. Patients over 45 frequently seek neck lift procedures to correct advanced aging signs. Dr. Scott Blyer of CAMEO Surgery Center specializes in advanced neck rejuvenation techniques for Islandia and NYC patients.

What is a Neck Lift Procedure?

A neck lift is an anti-aging cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess skin and improve neck and chin area aesthetics. This comprehensive procedure addresses multiple age-related concerns:

• Neck bands and muscle laxity
• Double chin
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Loose neck skin
• Aged facial profile
• Excess fat deposits

Ideal Neck Lift Candidates

Neck lift candidates typically share specific characteristics that ensure optimal surgical outcomes:

• Age 50 and above
• Generally good health
• Non-smokers
• Realistic surgical expectations
• No major medical conditions hindering healing

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves precise incisions along natural facial creases, typically starting in front of the ear lobe and extending behind the ear into the hairline. Most neck lift surgeries last approximately two hours and can be performed under general or local anesthesia.

Neck Lift vs. Platysmaplasty

While often performed together, neck lift and platysmaplasty target different aspects of neck aging. A neck lift focuses on skin tightening, while platysmaplasty addresses muscle restructuring by suturing the platysma muscle to restore a more youthful neck contour.

Benefits and Expectations

Neck lift surgery offers multiple aesthetic and psychological benefits:

• Enhanced facial profile
• Tighter, smoother skin
• Improved jawline definition
• Reduced appearance of wrinkles
• Boosted self-confidence

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves following specific post-operative instructions, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities. Results typically last approximately ten years, with patients consistently appearing younger than their peers.
