BEFORE & AFTERS
WHY NECK LIFT?
At our world-class practice in the Upper Eastside of NYC, neck lift is a common procedure for both. men and women. Like the eyes, the neck can be a tell-tale sign of aging. In a young person, the neck has a sharp transition from the chin to the neck. With aging, however, loosening of the skin and underlying muscle blurs this clear transition. The term “turkey neck” describes such an image. Multiple vertical bands under the skin also appear and give the person an aged appearance. A neck lift can be performed by Dr. Lao at his NYC practice to help decrease this aging appearance. Occasionally a neck lift or liposuction is needed in young people with “double chin” appearance because of the accumulation of fat under the chin.
What is a Neck Lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to eradicate the signs of aging that become prevalent in the neck as one gets older. The procedure involves removing excess skin, repairing the underlying muscle structures, and recontouring the neck to give a more youthful appearance and improve one’s facial profile.
Dr. Lao will customize a surgical plan to perform the neck lift depending on the appearance of the neck. In younger patients with good skin, liposuction is the only modality needed to restore a good contour. Based on an individual’s profile, chin augmentation can be added for the best result and contour. In older patients, often a neck lift can be combined with a facelift to provide a total rejuvenation of the face/neck and rid of the annoying vertical bands and excess skin.
Good Candidates For Neck Lift Surgery
Before undergoing the neck lift surgery, patients must first schedule a consultation to find out if they make a good fit for the procedure. If you’re considering the neck lift, you should be in good physical health without any underlying medical conditions that can interfere with healing and have realistic expectations.
Preparing For Your Neck Lift Surgery
Prior to the neck lift surgery, Dr. Lao will perform an evaluation to develop a surgical plan that’s customized to fit your aesthetic needs. He will also provide you with a set of instructions that you must adhere to in order to ensure a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. These instructions may include stopping the use of certain medications and If you are a smoker, you will be asked to stop smoking in the time leading to the surgical procedure.

PATIENTS' REVIEWS
V, 57, Office worker, Caucasian, New Jersey, USA
"I recently had a face, brow and neck lift with Dr. Lao and he did a fantastic job. My friends all think I look great. I have also recently received compliments on my appearance from people I see only on an occasional basis. I think they know something is different about my appearance but can’t seem to figure out what it is. I think this fact attests to the “natural” look Dr. Lao achieved."
