What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck, jawline, and lower face by addressing signs of aging such as drooping skin, excess fat, and vertical neck bands. Under the talented hands of Dr. Mansher Singh, an acclaimed plastic surgeon, neck lift surgery in NYC not only enhances contours and provides a refreshed, defined look but also offers a safer, more effective approach tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

What Does Neck Lift Surgery Correct?

Dr. Singh’s neck lift surgery addresses various age-related changes and aesthetic concerns in the lower face and neck, significantly enhancing the look of the face-to-neck line and boosting self-confidence. Common issues corrected by this procedure include:

  • Sagging neck skin
  • Excess fat on the neck
  • Double chin
  • Muscle banding
  • Jowls
  • Wrinkles, lines, creases

Dr. Singh creates a youthful and streamlined contour by meticulously removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and resculpting existing fatty tissue. His approach is customized for each patient, ensuring results harmonize with their natural facial structure and aesthetic goals.

What is the Neck Lift Procedure?

Dr. Singh’s meticulous approach to neck lift surgery ensures precise and natural-looking results. The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to choose the best anesthesia option—either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. During surgery, Dr. Singh makes a discreet incision along the hairline, around the ear, and extending to the back of the neck. This placement hides any scarring after recovery and allows for comprehensive adjustments, including fat sculpting, tissue repositioning, and platysma muscle tightening.

Dr. Singh’s expertise in manipulating the deeper tissues beneath the platysma ensures a more youthful neck structure restored to a taut, sculpted look. His advanced technique smooths the skin and enhances the definition of the jawline and neck, avoiding the overly tight look of less sophisticated methods.

Recovering from a Neck Lift with Dr. Singh

Recovery from a neck lift under Dr. Singh’s care is a carefully monitored process to ensure the best possible outcome. Initially, swelling and bruising are expected to occur, which gradually subside over the first few weeks. Dr. Singh bandages the neck to reduce swelling and support the newly sculpted contours. Pain is minimal and managed with prescribed medications, and Dr. Singh’s detailed aftercare instructions allow for a smooth recovery process.

Dr. Singh’s commitment to patient care extends well into the recovery phase. He provides direct access to his personal cell phone, allowing patients to reach out with any concerns, ensuring they feel supported throughout their healing journey. Most patients can return to normal activities within two weeks, with full results visible over the following months.

What Does a Neck Lift Cost?

The cost of a neck lift varies based on the extent of the procedure. Dr. Singh’s expertise and reputation as a leading plastic surgeon in New York City ensure that his pricing reflects his high level of care and precision. It starts with meeting with Dr. Singh so he can speak with you about your concerns and evaluate the condition of your neck tissues, fat, and skin.
