Neck Lift in Greensboro, NY | Dr. Mary Ann C. Contogiannis, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to combat aging issues along the jaw and neck area. This transformative treatment effectively addresses concerns such as saggy "turkey neck" skin, excess chin fat, and drooping jawline skin that creates the appearance of jowls.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Neck lift surgery is typically performed in an outpatient setting using general anesthesia or IV sedation. Two primary surgical techniques are commonly employed:

• Cervicoplasty: Removal of excess skin
• Platysmaplasty: Tightening of loose neck muscles

Key Benefits of a Neck Lift

Patients can expect multiple aesthetic and psychological advantages from the procedure, including:

• Enhanced self-confidence
• Younger-looking neck appearance
• Refined chin and jawline contours
• Reduction of skin laxity and wrinkles

Candidate Qualifications

Ideal neck lift candidates are healthy adults with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. During the consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will assess individual circumstances and develop a personalized treatment approach.

Recovery and Aftercare

Neck lift recovery varies by individual, but most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks. Temporary swelling and bruising are common, and patients may experience neck tightness for several weeks to months following the procedure.

Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Contogiannis can combine neck lift surgery with complementary procedures such as facelift or brow lift techniques.
