YOU WANT THE BEST NECK LIFT

For many men and women, the neck ages before the face, resulting in drooping neck skin, muscle, and fat. A neck lift surgery, also known as a platsymaplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves tightening the neck muscles to reduce a sagging appearance. Incisions are placed under the chin and behind the ears so that scarring is minimized and hidden, preventing the common eye from noticing a procedure was done. Dr. Kassir often performs endoscopic neck lifts using small cameras, which is a revolutionary way to lift the neck muscle with small incision sites and less recovery time. Tightening the neck muscles and the skin results in fewer wrinkles, a more defined jawline, and an overall revitalized appearance. Liposuction is also often used during a neck lift to remove any excess fat in the neck area. Many patients choose to get a face lift in conjunction with a neck lift for full facial rejuvenation so that they don't have to go under anesthesia more than once. A neck lift is usually performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Kassir's New york or New Jersey offices. 

You may be a good candidate for a neck-lift if:

• You lack neck or chin definition

• You have loose or baggy skin around your neck- due to aging, weight loss or heredity

• You have excess fat deposits around your neck

• You have loose neck muscle bands

• You have hanging skin and/or wrinkles around the neck

Lack of definition along the jawline? A full neck and saggy skin? These are among the few changes that happen with aging.
Do you want your defined jawline from your youth?

Recovery From Neck Lift Surgery

For the best possible results and the quickest recovery, it is vital to adhere to Dr. Kassir's recovery guidelines after a procedure. Bandages and dressings are removed from patients 1 to 2 days following a neck lift, while the sutures are removed anywhere up to 10 days after the procedure. Dr. Kassir provides pain medication to keep the pain minimal during recovery. It is normal for there to be swelling up to 3 weeks, which is why Dr. Kassir recommends patients use cold compresses to keep the swelling down. In addition, it is important for patients to walk 3 times a day during their recovery weeks to circulate blood flow, which will encourage recovery. Patients are able to return to work within 2 weeks following a neck lift. Patients should avoid any physical activity/exercise for the first 6 weeks. Dr. Kassir's endoscopic
