Neck Lift Long Island

The neck skin and tissue is often the first area to begin to droop and sag.

*Real Patient

Even when your face still looks youthful, the neck area can make you look older, with vertical bands, sagging skin, fatty deposits, and creases. Our Long Island neck lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facelift to restore a youthful, firm, supple look, with excess fat and skin removed and the jawline returned to its defined, firm appearance.

Neck Lift Overview

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin, vertical muscle bands, fatty deposits, and creases that develop along the neck and jawline as we age. Even when the face still looks youthful, an aging neck can add years to your appearance — and no topical cream or non-surgical treatment can match the results of a skilled surgical lift. During the procedure, incisions are placed in discreet locations, typically behind the ear or beneath the chin, allowing the surgeon to reposition or remove excess fat and skin and tighten the underlying muscle structure to smooth vertical bands.

A neck lift can be performed on its own or combined with a facelift for a fully rejuvenated, harmonious result. For patients seeking the best neck lift on Long Island, the procedure is most successful in the hands of a double board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized training in both plastic surgery and head and neck surgery.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

A neck lift delivers a firmer, smoother, more defined neck and jawline — restoring a natural, youthful contour that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve. Patients who undergo the procedure often enjoy:

A more defined jawline with excess fat and skin removed for a sculpted, youthful profile
Smoother neck skin, free from sagging, creases, and the appearance of a double chin
Reduced vertical banding, achieved by tightening the underlying neck muscles
Long-lasting results that, with proper care, can last years into the future
Natural-looking rejuvenation that brings the neck back in proportion with the rest of the face

Because the procedure is customized to each patient's anatomy and goals, results from the neck lift in Long Island look refreshed and natural rather than overdone — restoring confidence along with a more youthful appearance.

Am I a Candidate for a Neck Lift in Long Island?

Good candidates for a neck lift are typically bothered by visible signs of aging in the neck — sagging skin, fatty deposits beneath the chin, vertical muscle banding, or creases — even if the rest of the face still appears youthful. Ideal candidates are in good general health, are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery, and have realistic expectations about the results a surgical lift can provide. Because every neck ages differently, a thorough evaluation of your skin, tissue, medical history, and current medications is essential to determine whether a neck lift alone or in combination with a facelift will best meet your goals. If you're exploring options for the best neck lift in Long Island, a consultation with a double board-certified plastic surgeon is the best first step toward finding out whether you're a strong candidate for the procedure.

The Necklift: Procedure Steps

Our necklift in Long Island is a customized surgical procedure, as each individual has unique cosmetic problems. The first step is a full evaluation of the condition of your skin and tissue, along with your medical history and a review of the medications you take to ensure you are safe to undergo the procedure. The steps themselves will vary, based upon your condition, but typically include the following:

Anesthetic

Intravenous sedation or general anesthesia

Incisions

Placed in various locations, including behind the ear or under the neck

Resculpting

The neck skin and tissue is repositioned, fat removed or repositioned, and excess skin removed. The underlying neck muscle structure may need tightening to smooth vertical bands. Incisions are closed with sutures (stitches).

Recovery from a Necklift

While the procedure varies from person to person, depending upon the degree of sagging, excess fat, or other issues, typically recovery from our Long Island necklift is fairly swift. Dr. Tanna employs the latest surgical techniques, and his patients report they recover from the procedure more quickly than expected, returning sooner to work or other activities. More extensive surgeries may require longer recoveries.

While it is normal to expect some swelling, this is not typically a significant problem. Any remaining bruising can be hidden with makeup. The stress and waiting of recovery is well worth it – your appearance will be dramatically improved with a carefully performed neck lift to firm and smooth sagging neck skin, tissue, and remove excess fat.
