Neck Lift Staten Island, NY | JOHN W DECORATO, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures in Staten Island

Dr. John W. Decorato offers comprehensive neck lift procedures for patients throughout New York and New Jersey. Neck lifts address visible signs of aging, helping patients achieve a more youthful and refined neck contour.

Why Consider a Neck Lift?

The neck often shows signs of aging earlier than other facial areas. Factors like heredity, weight loss, and natural aging can contribute to:

• Loose, hanging skin
• Horizontal neck bands
• Excess fat deposits
• Muscle laxity

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Most neck lift patients are between 35 and 70 years old and are in good overall health. Candidates typically seek to reduce visible aging signs and improve neck appearance.

Neck Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Decorato utilizes advanced surgical techniques to customize neck lift procedures, which may include:

• Liposuction for fat removal
• Platysmaplasty to tighten neck muscles
• Cervicoplasty for excess skin removal

Procedure Details

Neck lifts can be performed under local or general anesthesia, typically taking one to several hours depending on complexity. Surgical approaches may include endoscopic or open techniques, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect temporary side effects such as swelling and bruising, lasting up to 10 days. A compression bandage is required for at least one week, and patients are advised to keep their head elevated during initial recovery.

Complementary Facial Procedures

Dr. Decorato offers additional facial surgery options that can be combined with neck lift procedures, including:

• Facelift
• Eyelid Surgery
• Facial Implants
• Rhinoplasty
