Procedures for improving the appearance of the neck have entered the mainstream
with a bang over the last 5 years thanks to the advent of platforms such as Zoom,
but the neck has been one of my areas of expertise and focus for the past 25 years.
In fact, at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery, we are renown for our non-surgical
neck lift, having created a layering technique that allows us to deliver serious
results without incisions. However, any procedure is only effective if it is right for
your individual anatomy and goals. Some patients are not going to get the result
they desire without surgery. So, here is an overview of the best neck rejuvenation
procedures both non-surgical and surgical.
Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation Procedures in Boston
Aging in your skin and tissues is never due to just one thing. So, while you may be
focused on your neck wrinkles, the underlying cause of these wrinkles could be a
combination of:
• Volume loss
• Skin texture
• Muscle laxity
This is one of the reasons why an in-person consultation is so important. It allows
me to listen to your concerns and perform an in-depth physical exam in order to
devise the perfect treatment plan for your unique anatomy and needs. We offer our
Boston area patients a full range of non-surgical options for the neck including:
• Botox
• Kybella
• Sculptra
• Microneedling
• Fat grafting
• ProfoundRF
• Matrix ProRF
• ThermiTight
The advantage of a non-surgical approach to neck rejuvenation is minimal
downtime. However, you may need more than one treatment, spaced 4-6 weeks
apart. And not every patient is right for a non-surgical approach.
Best Surgical Neck Rejuvenation Procedures
Surgical neck rejuvenation procedures are going to require more time for recovery.
However, they also have the advantage of delivering a long-lasting result with only
one treatment. And a surgical option is always going to be better for improving
moderate to severe aging issues in the neck. The best surgical neck rejuvenation procedures include:
• Liposuction
• Renuvion with liposuction
• Neck Lift
I am always honest about what any procedure can and cannot deliver for your
individual anatomy. I also understand that not every patient has a lifestyle where
they can take the time to recover from surgery. This is why I spend so much time
during your consultation making sure that you have realistic expectations about
what each treatment plan can deliver, and that you always factor in the cost of your
time. A surgical approach may be initially more expensive, but your results could
last a decade assuming your weight stays stable.
