Neck Lift Surgery
As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and may start to droop. This effect is often more noticeable in the neck region, where excess folds and fatty deposits can emerge, creating the impression of a “double chin.” Neck lift surgery in NYC is an ideal plastic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the neck and jawline.
An established AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery group in Manhattan, New York City (NYC), bodySCULPT® offers effective procedures using the latest minimally invasive techniques. Our plastic surgeons have vast experience in this delicate cosmetic surgical procedure that defines the jaw line, reshapes the face, and results in a more youthful, well-defined neck angle.

Customized Neck Lift Procedures
Based on the extent of laxity and correction required, our surgeons will determine the appropriate approach. The various procedures we offer aim at altering excess fat and excess skin to refresh, restore, and rejuvenate the aesthetic of the chin and neck.
Cervicoplasty – removes excess skin from the neck
This procedure is ideal to address concerns such as a double chin, lax skin, jowls, and loose, sagging skin, mainly if you have experienced extreme weight loss. Cervicoplasty procedures can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries like a facelift for further rejuvenation.
Platysmaplasty – removes excess skin and makes changes in your neck muscles
This procedure is recommended for age-related skin changes or sagging skin. It can address concerns such as neck bands, loose skin, and the “turkey wattle” effect. It involves removing excess skin from around the neck, and repositioning and tightening the remaining skin.
Liposuction – removes excess fat deposits
Chin and neck liposuction removes stubborn fat and tightens lax skin. The procedure is performed using advanced technologies such as – VASERlipo, and BodyTite™. Such technologies help to stay safe from general anesthesia complications.
Botox injections – addresses the horizontal lines or bands on the neck
This procedure involves injecting Botox® into the lower jaw and down the side of the neck to tighten and redefine the jawline and provide a lift to the neck area.
Consult with our best neck lift surgeons at our Manhattan, NYC plastic surgery practice to discuss your individual goals and determine if a neck lift is the right option for you.
