Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in NYC

A slender, well-shaped neck represents elegance and beauty. Unfortunately, the neck is one of the first areas to show aging signs, including skin creases, deep folds, and sagging skin. Unwanted fullness under the chin can disrupt the neck's natural silhouette, creating a "double chin" appearance.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery, also known as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, offers multiple aesthetic improvements:

• Enhanced jawline definition
• Correction of jowls
• Tightening of loose neck skin
• Elimination of submental fat
• Reduction of neck wrinkles
• Overall neck rejuvenation

Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift?

Ideal neck lift candidates are individuals in good health with sufficient skin elasticity who want to address:

• Sagging or loose neck skin
• Excess submental fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Deep neck skin creases
• Diminished jawline definition

Dr. Cangello's Specialized Neck Lift Approach

Dr. Cangello's technique focuses on creating naturally refreshed results by carefully lifting deeper tissues and preserving the body's natural architecture. His approach ensures patients look revitalized without an artificial, "pulled-back" appearance.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

The neck lift procedure typically involves general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours. Dr. Cangello makes strategic incisions to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and sculpt the neck and jawline. Liposuction may be incorporated for comprehensive contouring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild swelling and bruising following the procedure. Most individuals return to work within one week, with full recovery occurring over several weeks. Home nursing care is arranged for the initial post-operative period.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For mild aging signs, non-surgical treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing can provide temporary improvements. However, a neck lift offers more comprehensive, long-lasting rejuvenation.
