Advanced Neck Lift in Hewlett | Dr. Zachary Gerut

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is an elective plastic surgery procedure designed to address sagging skin in the neck area. This condition, sometimes referred to as "turkey neck," can result from multiple factors including genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and excessive sun exposure.

Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a neck lift typically include:

• Healthy adult men and women
• Individuals with sagging neck skin
• Patients experiencing neck aging due to genetic tendencies
• Those seeking improved neck contour and definition

Neck Lift Surgical Technique

Dr. Gerut performs neck lift procedures in a fully accredited surgical suite located in Hewlett, Long Island. The procedure involves strategic incisions placed:

• In front of the earlobe
• Behind the ear
• Underneath the chin

Surgical Approach

A comprehensive neck lift addresses the platysma muscle, which contributes to neck aging and creates vertical "stripes". By treating this muscular layer, Dr. Gerut ensures a more comprehensive and long-lasting result.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a neck lift is typically straightforward. Patients can expect minimal discomfort with potential short-term bruising that resolves within one to two weeks. The procedure offers significant improvements in neck appearance and personal confidence.

Important Considerations

Patients should understand that neck lifting is often most effective when combined with complementary facial procedures. Simple liposuction may not address skin laxity and could potentially worsen skin appearance if significant sagging is present.
