Triple Board Certified Facial Cosmetic Surgeon

Dr. Ariel Ostad is triple board certified in Dermatology, Mohs Micrographic Skin Cancer Surgery, and Facial Cosmetic Surgery and Associate Clinical Professor at NYU, who teaches residents how to perform flawless surgeries.

Neck Lift

As we age, muscles below the face lose strength and tone, therefore skin laxity increases. The result is sagging, wrinkling, and the appearance of loose skin on the neck. This can be corrected by a neck lift procedure at Dr. Ostad’s New York office. The technique removes and repositions tissue, restoring smooth and youthful contours to your neck.

When you look good, you feel good. Sagging neck and wrinkling skin are effects of the aging process. Wrinkled skin can make you appear older. Now you can improve the look of your jawline and neck with solutions such as neck lift surgery. Located in New York, Dr. Ariel Ostad incorporates traditional surgery with a skilled, artistic hand to achieve dramatic, yet natural results.

BEFORE & AFTER

WHAT TO EXPECT

A neck lift is an outpatient procedure. Using a small incision behind each ear and possibly one under the chin, the neck muscles and tissues are tightened. Excess, sagging skin is removed. Fat is suctioned out as well. Dr. Ostad’s attention to detail produces a youthful appearance of the neck. The skin becomes smooth and firm once again.

Dr. Ostad performs neck lift surgeries in just under two hours in the office, which is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Our friendly, professional staff works to ensure patient comfort. Patients will be given specific post treatment instructions to care for their incisions and neck as well as recovery expectations.

Although downtime and recovery vary between patients, most can resume normal social activities within a week. Side effects vary but may include bruising, swelling, and a feeling of tightness in the neck. As the skin heals, the effects will subside to show off your beautifully contoured neck and jawline. The results of a neck lift are long-lasting. The aging process restarts, so the neck will age naturally, giving patients lasting results from their procedure. Protecting your skin from the sun and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can prolong your outcome.

Goals for Neck Lift Surgery

Eliminating the turkey neck or excess, sagging skin

Removing the jowls caused by excess fat and skin in the lower face

Getting rid of fat deposits beneath the chin

Smoothing the skin to get rid of wrinkles or creases on the neck

Minimizing the appearance of neck bands

The aging process leads to the loss of youthful contours and volume. In addition to age, volume loss and sagging skin can be the result of heredity, gravity, environmental factors, and stress. Patients considering a neck lift are searching for ways to treat the visible signs of aging. Common goals or reasons for choosing this procedure may include:

Qualified Patients

For patients looking to get rid of sagging or loose skin on the neck, a surgical neck lift or lower rhytidectomy is an appropriate solution. A neck lift may also be called a cervicoplasty, which is performed to remove excess skin or a platysmaplasty to tighten the neck muscles. Depending on an individual’s need, a single procedure may be needed, or both may be performed to create a smoother, firmer, more defined neck and jawline. The upper part of the face and the neck may age at different rates, causing an aesthetic disconnect. A neck lift can help balance your youthful appearance.

Customizing Your Neck Lift

Treatments and procedures can be combined or altered, depending on each patient’s unique needs. While some patients may only require a traditional neck lift, others may benefit from the addition of liposuction to remove excess fat under the chin. Botox or fillers may be used to smooth the skin adding to a more youthful appearance. Patients needing more comprehensive facial rejuvenation may benefit from a combined face and neck lift. During your consultation with Dr. Ostad, discuss your desired outcome to ensure your surgery is tailored to your specific goals.

Now is the time to look as young as you feel. Call our office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ariel Ostad.
