With age, our skin's elasticity diminishes, leading to wrinkles and sagging. This process can be made worse by sun exposure, smoking, and some medical conditions, accelerating the aging of the neck. These visible signs often lead to self-consciousness and can impact one's overall look. Fortunately, the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery provides a variety of neck treatments that can help regain a youthful neck contour at any age, helping you to not only look but also feel your best.
During this procedure, your surgeon will make discreet incisions hidden beneath the chin and behind the ears. These incisions grant access to the underlying fat and muscle layers. Excess fat is removed using liposuction or direct excision while sagging skin is tightened and repositioned. The neck muscles (platysmal bands) are also tightened using internal sutures, refining the jawline.
Sutures are then used to close the incisions, followed by dressing application. The result is a smoother, more contoured appearance. At Boston Center for Plastic Surgery, we perform this procedure under local anesthesia or twilight sedation in our private, fully accredited surgical suite. The duration varies from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
At Boston Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer various cosmetic neck procedures tailored to each patient's needs. Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, and Dr. Tandon, customize treatments using liposuction, tissue excision, skin tightening techniques, and injectable fillers to achieve the desired outcome. As a Harvard Medical School Residency Teaching Location, we integrate top-tier medical training with exceptional patient care.

Neck lifts are performed on patients as young as 35. Neck aging rates vary, and sometimes, the neck and face don't match in terms of aging. If your neck's appearance concerns you, consult with Dr. Miller, Dr. Sanan, Dr. Tandon, or Dr. Doherty to determine if you're a candidate for a neck lift or a less invasive option.
MyEllevate is safe and effective for individuals seeking neck contouring. It's suitable for both men and women with concerns like pronounced jowls, excessive submental fullness (double chin), vertical banding (turkey neck), or a lack of definition in the neck and jawline. It offers immediate and long-term results.
