Neck Lift Newton, MD | New England Plastic Surgical Associates

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

A neck lift is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to address aging and aesthetic concerns in the neck region. The procedure targets multiple issues that contribute to an aged or less defined neck appearance, helping patients restore a more youthful and elegant neck contour.

Reasons for Considering a Neck Lift

As individuals age, the neck's thin skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. Common concerns that prompt patients to consider a neck lift include:

• Loss of skin elasticity
• Fat accumulation under the chin
• Vertical muscle bands (platysma muscle loosening)
• Excess skin or wrinkles

Treatment Alternatives and Techniques

New England Plastic Surgical Associates offers multiple neck rejuvenation approaches tailored to individual anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. Treatment options include:

• Comprehensive neck lift surgery
• Neck liposuction
• Platysmaplasty (muscle repair)
• Combined facial rejuvenation procedures

Surgical Approach and Techniques

A neck lift typically involves strategic incisions placed behind the ears and potentially a small incision under the chin. The procedure may include skin re-draping, muscle tightening, and fat removal to create a more defined neck-to-chin angle.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling following the procedure. An elastic neck support is typically worn for 1-2 weeks to optimize results. Most patients resume normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery taking slightly longer.

Cost Considerations

Neck lift pricing varies based on individual treatment complexity, techniques employed, and potential combination with other procedures. A personalized consultation will provide precise cost estimates and discuss potential financing options.
