Neck Lift Alternatives
Having a smooth, contoured neck projects youthfulness and enhances self-confidence. Unfortunately, the neck is often one of the first features to show the signs of age. Dr. Rhoda Narins uses a combination of two minimally-invasive procedures, liposuction surgery and Thermage®, to provide an effective alternative to neck lift cosmetic surgery for New York City, Manhattan, and Westchester County residents.
A Neck Lift Alternative
Neck rejuvenation can be just the first step in your facial rejuvenation plan at our New York City and Westchester County offices. Dr. Narins, a dermatologic cosmetic surgeon, provides many other treatments and procedures that can quickly and conveniently improve your look. The benefits of this neck lift procedure include:
- Tightens loose, wrinkled skin on the neck, chin, and jaw line
- Removes excess fat from under the chin (double chin) and jowls
- Requires minimal downtime of 2 to 5 days
- Uses local anesthesia and avoids the side-effects of general anesthesia
A Personalized Combination for Personalized Results
Each neck lift patient requires their own unique combination of procedures to achieve the most attractive enhancement for their physical makeup. Possible combinations include:
- Liposuction of the neck and jowls
- Liposuction of the neck and jowls combined with Thermage® for skin tightening
- Either of the above with excision of some loose skin under the neck
- A combination of the above with BOTOX® Cosmetic, fillers, or fat transfer to smooth and volumize
At your private consultation, Dr. Narins will be happy to listen to your goals and recommend the combination of treatments that will be most appropriate for you.
Neck Lift Combination Procedure
Dr. Narins offers a minimally-invasive neck lift procedure that is ideal for many busy women and men who want to minimize their downtime and recovery period. After administering local anesthesia, she removes unwanted fat from the neck and under the chin with liposculpture surgery. The initial procedure is complete in about 30 minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities in about 3 days.
At a subsequent visit, Dr. Narins may use Thermage to tighten, firm, and sculpt the skin on the neck and chin. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to firm existing collagen under the skin and encourage the body to increase collagen production. Although some patients will see immediate improvements, most will notice gradual improvements for up to 6 months as new collagen is produced. Any minor swelling or redness usually fades within 24 hours.
