The Ideal Contour
What is a Neck Lift?
This procedure works to sculpt and define the neck and jawline by re-shaping deep neck structures to allow for a sharpened neck/jaw definition. The skin redrapes over the deeper neck structures for a more acute neck angle and reduction of fullness. The deep fat can be removed to improve the definition as well. A neck lift can also reduce vertical neck bands for a smoother, more youthful profile. By using discrete incisions and sometimes liposuction techniques and injection of biostimulators to improve skin quality, advanced neck lift methods offer incredibly natural-looking outcomes.

Is Neck Lift Right For You?
Neck Lift Candidates
Ideal candidates for our Albany neck lift procedure are both Women and Men experiencing noticeable skin laxity from weight loss, excess fat under the chin and neck fullness of any age, or banding in the neck area that contributes to an aged or sagging appearance. Candidates typically range in age from early 20s to the 8th decade and should be in good overall health, non-smokers or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Typically, neck lifting does not address jowling along the jaw-line unless combined with face lift procedure.
What is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
Neck Improvement without Surgery
You can also benefit from non-surgical therapies ranging from biostimulator injection and HA fillers to smooth the contour of the neck by increasing collagen and elastin production under the skin. This will result in a smoother higher quality of neck skin eliminating fine crepiness. This approach can be combined with surgery if needed for the best possible results.

Consultation and Preparation for Neck Lift
During a private consultation for a neck lift Albany patients will have their facial structure evaluated, their aesthetic goals discussed, and we will determine the best approach to achieve optimal jawline and neck definition. A personalized surgical plan will be created, and you'll receive instructions on preparing for the procedure, including adjusting or stopping certain medications, quitting smoking, and maintaining a stable weight.
Qualified Excellence
Your Neck Lift Procedure
A neck lift can be performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the specific case, and it usually takes about two to three hours. Small incisions will be strategically placed under the chin area. Dr. Kaufman will then tighten underlying muscles, remove excess deep and superficial fat, and contour the area to achieve a smooth, youthful result. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove unwanted fat deposits. Once completed, sutures are placed, and a compression garment may be applied to support healing.
Youthful, Natural, Defined
Neck Lift Results
While some changes are immediately noticeable after surgery, results will gradually appear as swelling subsides over the following weeks, and it can take a few months to see final outcomes. Patients can expect to see dramatic, long-lasting improvements in sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline.

Neck Lift Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a neck lift typically takes several weeks, with the most significant healing occurring within the first two weeks. Patients should expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness, which gradually improve over time. Most individuals can return to light activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks.
