Double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sang W. Kim of the Natural Face™ Clinics offer the Natural Neck Lift for patients residing in the Syracuse metropolitan area and Central New York cities including Ithaca and Rochester.
What Is a Natural Neck Lift?
Also referred to as submentoplasty, a Natural Neck Lift is designed to get rid of sagging muscle and skin in the neck area. Typically, submentoplasty is designed for patients aged 50 or younger who exhibit a loose platysma muscle – a plate-like muscle that is situated in the cervical and jaw regions of the neck and mouth. The muscle, when separated, causes jaw depressions and neck wrinkles to form.
How Is a Natural Neck Lift Performed?
A submental incision is placed beneath the chin. Any neck fat can then be removed through a liposuction process. The muscle is then tightened to tone and define the neck. For patients with signs of more advanced wrinkling (such as a turkey neck), a neck lift is performed that involves re-suspension, tightening, and toning.

What Is the Average Recovery Time?
Initial recovery for a submentoplasty takes about seven to ten days.
What Are Some of the Benefits of the Natural Neck Lift?
When a Natural Neck Lift is performed, wrinkles are removed, and sagging skin is toned and tightened in the neck and facial areas. The procedure uses minimal anesthesia, which is combined with a relaxing sedative. Very small incisions are placed beneath the natural creases in the ear area and beneath the chin. Minimal downtime makes this therapy an ideal choice for a busy professional in good health.
How Much Does a Natural Neck Lift Cost in Syracuse?
The costs involved with a Natural Face™ procedure can vary depending on the extent of the treatment necessary to achieve optimum results.
