About neck lift surgery

Dr. Sidney J. Starkman is a leader in Neck Lift and Facial Rejuvenation surgery, and performs neck lift surgery to reduce the appearance of a heavy or aging neck. This procedure reshapes and lifts the underside of the chin and entire neck to address and refine what is commonly called a "turkey neck." By surgically excising excess skin and fat while using a deep sculpting method, neck lift surgery at Starkman Facial Plastic Surgery can provide dramatic enhancement to your profile.

FAQ

How much does a neck lift cost?

Due to the different types of neck lift techniques for each patient, the cost will vary from patient to patient. The cost of your neck lift will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Starkman once he has created your personal treatment plan. To make your neck lift affordable, Starkman Facial Plastic Surgery accepts many payment methods and can give you information on low-interest financing.

What about non-surgical options?

Surgery is the only way to remove loose skin, especially if it hangs or droops. While there are several non-surgical skin tightening treatments that can produce some improvements, surgery offers the most significant improvements to smooth and redefine the contours of your neck.

Will I have visible scars?

Your neck lift will start with an incision beneath the chin and two more near the ears. However, these are placed so they are difficult for others to see. Dr. Starkman makes every effort during surgery to avoid visible scarring. Further, Dr. Starkman employs a precise closure technique, minimizing the appearance of resultant scars. You will also be given scar care instructions that will help your incisions to heal properly so they are thin and flat.

Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?

During your consultation, you can mention that you may be considering another procedure, such as a facelift or a chin implant, in addition to a neck lift. It is common for these additional procedures to be combined to achieve the best results. If you have any concerns about a weak chin or undefined jawline, talk to Dr. Starkman so he can create a comprehensive treatment plan.

Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?

Depending on your needs and goals, you may want to get a neck lift with liposuction. This can help if you have both excess skin and pockets of fat in your neck. Dr. Starkman will help you decide whether a lift, liposuction, or both should be part of your treatment plan during your consultation.
