How Can I Prepare for a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a procedure designed to tighten sagging skin and remove excess fat around the neck area and jawline, taking years off of one’s appearance. Neck lifts are a great way to restore youthful contours to the face. Results last far longer than non-surgical methods, but surgery usually involves some preparation and downtime to ensure the best results. If you decide that a neck lift is a right procedure for you, what can you expect?

What Should I Expect In The Week Before my Neck Lift Surgery?

Preparation is as important as recovery to ensure the best-looking results possible. There are several things you can do to prepare yourself for a neck lift. You will be given a specific set of instructions from your specialist which may include:

Take/Adjust Current Medications
Avoid Aspirin/Anti-Inflammatories
Avoid Certain Supplements

Additionally, you will get instructions on what to do the night before and the morning of your surgery. These instructions may vary depending on your particular procedure.

Quitting smoking several weeks, and preferably months prior to surgery is important to improve the health and vascularity of tissues, and is critical for healing.

What’s a Neck Lift Procedure Like?

The best way to prepare for a neck lift is similar to any surgery. First off, don’t worry about pain. Our team at Specialty Aesthetic Surgery can ensure a painless, expertly-handled procedure with anesthesia. Your procedure is unique to you and may involve a couple of different methods, so consult with our team to prepare specifically for the procedure that you and our specialists have arrived on.

Additionally, neck lifts are outpatient procedures so you’ll need to make sure that you have someone with you to take you to the office and back home.

How Is Recovery And Downtime from a Neck Lift?

Recovery is crucial in yielding the best results possible. You will get instructions on how to care for your neck after the surgery to ensure lasting results and to minimize scar formation. It is recommended that for in-office procedures, patients take 5-10 days off of work. If you have another procedure done in addition to a neck lift, your recovery time may be different.

If any concerns arise, our office will be there to help in the days to follow to ensure a smooth recovery.

What Results Can I Expect?

Compared to other procedures aimed at altering the appearance of the jawline, neck lift results are dramatic and long-lasting. With computer imaging and simulation, our team will be able to give you an idea of what results to expect before the neck lift is performed and alter any concerns that you may have. As a result, results are positive–patients report looking younger and feeling more confident in youthful contours on the lower half of the face. You’ll be in great hands with our highly skilled team of board-certified surgeons.

Dr. Moskowitz is the best!! He is detailed ortiented and he explained the procedure every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and has a great bedside manner. His staff was always receptive to send information and answer any of my concerns. I could not be more pleased with my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Moskowitz!!

Maureen de Leon. New York, NY

Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.

LAURA KIRBY. New York, NY

Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.

Almasa Nabizadia. New York, NY

Don’t have enough positive words to describe my experience with Dr. Mashkevich and his team! The entire staff is absolutely amazing! Dr. Mashkevich was so calm, patient, and knowledgeable! I felt so comfortable moving forward with my decision. It took me a very long time to make this decision and proceed with my facial surgery. I am beyond thrilled and my results are even better than I ever could’ve imagined! I would highly, highly recommend Dr.Mashkevich to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!!!

Rabia BA. New York, NY

My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Mashkevich has been excellent! He is a superb surgeon who takes wonderful care of his patients. From my initial consultation all the way through surgery and postoperative follow-ups, I have felt comfortable and safe in his hands. Dr. Mashkevich understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered amazing results. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. I am so happy with my results and would greatly recommend Dr. Mashkevich.

Jessica Zizva. New York, NY

Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!

Angela Kaziyeva. New York, NY

I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!

Sunny Sani. New York, NY

Saying Dr.Bruce Moskowitz is an expert and master in his field is an understatement. He truly knows his stuff! I am so thankful and grateful I chose Dr.Moskowitz to do my eyelid surgery. For years I went to so many Oculoplastic Surgeons and was so happy to come across Dr.Moskowitz. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly all about perfection. I’m so thankful every day, he literally changed my life!

IMRAN Ali. New York, NY

Dr. Moskowitz is by far, one of the best Dr's I have ever met. He is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He explains everything that he is going to and always made sure I felt comfortable. He is also a perfectionist, which made me feel even more confident in his abilities as a plastic surgeon

Kelly Goldstein. New York, NY

There is no one else I would let touch my face besides Dr. Moskowitz. He does such an incredible job and walks you through every part of the procedure and the results are always perfect. I cannot recommend him enough!

Michelle Aselta. New York, NY

In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.
