Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in Boston

Neck lift surgery is a highly effective solution for addressing signs of aging in the neck region. As collagen and elastin production naturally decline, the neck can develop wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of definition. Dr. Arthur Shektman specializes in advanced neck lift techniques that restore a smooth, taut appearance.

How Neck Aging Occurs

Skin changes with age due to decreased collagen and elastin, leading to:

• Reduced skin elasticity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Diminished muscle support

Neck Lift Surgical Technique

Dr. Shektman performs neck lift surgery by carefully removing excess skin and repositioning remaining tissue. Strategic incisions behind the ears and occasionally under the chin ensure minimal visible scarring and natural-looking results.

Benefits of a Boston Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift can provide significant aesthetic improvements, including:

• Smoother, more youthful neck contour
• Reduced appearance of wrinkles
• Enhanced neck and chin definition

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

Suitable candidates typically:

• Are near their ideal body weight
• Have realistic expectations
• Are nonsmokers or willing to quit
• Can accommodate recovery time

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising for 9-15 days, with full recovery taking 2-3 weeks. Most individuals can return to desk work after the first week, following Dr. Shektman's personalized recovery guidance.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, Dr. Shektman offers complementary treatments like dermal fillers, Botox, and laser skin resurfacing to improve neck appearance.
