Neck Lift – New York - Partial Face Lift – Lower Face Lift

As we age ,the muscles of the neck become loose and drop underneath the skin, resulting in what many women and men refer to as a “Turkey Neck”. Vertical banding in the neck may also occur with two paired cords in the middle of the neck due to laxity of the platysma muscle. This is an isolated problem and most surgeons will explain to you that you need a total face and neck lift to correct the problem which is more surgery than most people want.

In cases like this Doctor Jacono’s signature lift is a partial lower facelift and neck lift (neck lift alone which lifts the sagging muscles of the neck and jowls, eliminating them and creating youthful and natural definition, without a tight look of older facelift and neck lift technques.

This also is only requires incision behind the ears and not in front of the ear so no scars are visible.
