With limited collagen and oil glands—and constant sun exposure and movement—the delicate skin on your neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Platysma bands (vertical lines on the front of the neck) and sagging skin can leave you with a “turkey neck” that overshadows your jawline’s definition and adds years to your appearance.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, you have options for a surgical and non-surgical neck lift in NYC to correct these common concerns. Here’s how Dr. Pearlman helps you decide which approach is right for you.
The Benefits of a Non-Surgical Neck Lift
Not everyone needs—or is ready to commit to—a surgical neck lift. If you’re at an age where your body still produces enough collagen and elastin, we may recommend non-surgical alternatives for modest improvements, such as:
- Dermal Fillers: Diluted Radiesse can thicken the skin to address crepiness and folds, while Sculptra stimulates collagen production to strengthen skin over time.
- RF Microneedling: Using tiny needles that emit radiofrequency (RF) energy, RF microneedling triggers a healing response to encourage collagen production.
- MyEllevate: With a specialized thread, we reposition the underlying neck muscles to provide a lift without incisions.
- SofWave: Powered by a unique beam of ultrasound energy, SofWave stimulates collagen and elastin production to address laxity in the brows, neck, and submentum,
- Nécolleté™: Combining laser, ultherapy, and microneedling technologies, we can reverse skin damage while boosting collagen.
Adults’ skin produces up to 1.5% less collagen every year, typically starting in your late 20s and dropping dramatically by age 40. Dr. Pearlman will determine if you’re an ideal candidate for a non-surgical neck lift during your consultation, but it’s important to have realistic expectations. These treatments only provide a fraction of the results of surgery and require regular maintenance.
The Limitations of a Non-Surgical Neck Lift
The neck is one of the most difficult areas to treat without surgery. For individuals with more advanced signs of aging, surgery remains the most effective option—a surgical neck lift is the only way to remove excess skin.
When you come to Dr. Pearlman for your neck lift (platysmaplasty) in NYC, we go beyond correcting sagging skin to tighten the underlying muscles. This approach offers the most dramatic, long-lasting results that non-surgical treatments simply cannot achieve.
