Restore the elegant lines of a youthful neck with a custom Neck Lift performed at Alemi Facial Plastic Surgery in Long Island where we are known for exceptionally natural-looking, elegant outcomes.

Neck Rejuvenation with Stunning Outcomes

In facial rejuvenation, the neck plays a significant role. Your neck condition impacts the lower facial appearance. The platysma muscle runs along the neck and continues to the jowl area, making it vital to treat both areas—one of the specialties of Dr. Sean Alemi, MD, FACS. A Neck Lift in Long Island with Dr. Sean Alemi may be combined with a facelift to create a balanced and natural-looking rejuvenation of the face and neck.

Am I a Candidate for a Neck Lift?

If you are generally healthy and safe to undergo surgery, you are likely a candidate for a Neck Lift. Many of our patients come to us with the following concerns that are addressed with this procedure:

Sagging skin: Tightening loose neck skin restores a smoother, more youthful neck appearance.
Excess fat: Under-chin fat or fatty areas on the upper neck can be removed for a slimmer, youthful profile.
Muscle banding: Vertical neck bands are not just skin but are due to lax muscles. Dr. Alemi specializes in addressing this area, called the platysma, to smooth away the effects of time by tightening the muscle structure.
Jowls: A neck lift removes sagging jowls, restoring a firm, defined, youthful jawline.

Our Philosophy of Care

One of the things that sets us apart at Alemi Facial Plastic Surgery is how we treat our patients. We do not begin by telling you what you “need,” but we are here to listen to what you, the patient, are concerned about. Dr. Alemi takes his work very seriously and will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals before recommending the best approach. After a customized surgical approach is crafted, you will be provided with the details on what to expect and how to prepare for the day of surgery.

What is the Neck Lift Procedure?

Before work begins, you will be sedated by one of our board-certified, in-house anesthesiologists. The local anesthesia and IV sedation, rather than general anesthesia, reduce recovery time while ensuring a painless surgery. For the surgery, Dr. Alemi will strategically place incisions behind the ears, along the hairline, or under the chin. These incisions allow him to access the underlying muscles, skin, and fatty deposits on the neck and jawline.

His approach enables excess fat removal, platysma muscle tightening, and skin repositioning to restore youthful definition. In some cases, salivary gland tissue may be reduced. Unlike liposuction, which may not sufficiently address the full scope of the aesthetic issues, a neck lift provides comprehensive rejuvenation, resulting in a natural-looking, significantly more defined profile at the neck and jawline.

What is the Recovery Time?

Expect to spend some time out of the limelight, resting and allowing your tissues to heal. You will need to avoid wearing anything tight after your procedure. A loose scarf can be worn should you need to go out. The recovery time varies from patient to patient but typically involves some bruising and swelling that fades over the following two weeks. Most patients report minimal pain, manageable only with over-the-counter medication. In most cases, patients are confident returning to their usual activities in two to four weeks. Ensure you follow all aftercare instructions and avoid strenuous exercise until fully recovered.

Taking Post-Operative Care to a New Level

Alemi Facial Plastic Surgery takes post-operative care to a new level. We have a dedicated nurse practitioner who will be involved in not only your preoperative planning but all your post-operative care. It is a set policy that Dr. Alemi sees his patients several times during the first ten days of their recovery. You will also receive a complimentary recovery kit full of essentials including scar treatment, gel packs, and therapeutic supplements to boost you through the recovery period. After you’ve healed, we’ll be there for you. Our nurse practitioner will ensure your wellness and skincare routines are on point to keep your new look vibrant and refreshed.
