Facelift & Neck Lift
Two locations to serve New York City & Greater New York (Tri-State area)
Welcome to our premier destination for Facelift and Neck Lift surgery in New York. At our practice, we understand the importance of tailored solutions to help you achieve your desired changes. As your face ages due to a variety of factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and gravity, our team led by Dr. Yager offers comprehensive techniques to address these concerns. Discover how our advanced procedures can restore your natural beauty and confidence.
Understanding the aging process
As time passes, your face experiences two primary forms of aging. The skin undergoes changes due to external factors like sun exposure, dehydration, and the loss of elasticity from repeated facial expressions. Simultaneously, gravity contributes to tissue drooping and relaxation. Our traditional Facelift surgery excels at restoring the natural position of tissues in the cheek, jowl, and neck. However, it’s essential to note that this procedure does not address issues like fine line wrinkles, discolorations, or nasolabial folds.
To provide a holistic solution, we utilize topical medications, injections, and minor additional procedures, all of which can be discussed during your personalized consultation.
Customized approach for natural results
SY Aesthetics recognizes the common concern of an unnatural appearance following facelifts. We share this concern and are committed to understanding your unique goals. Everyone’s ideal outcome is distinct, from subtle cheek lifts to a tighter jawline and reduced nasolabial folds. With an in-depth understanding of diverse anatomies and desired outcomes, our surgeons employ a range of facial surgery techniques to provide a tailored approach.
Through precise elevation of deeper tissues and lateral skin repositioning, enhancements are achieved while preserving your natural essence.
Whether an upper Facelift focusing on the cheek and jowl or a Neck Lift for neck tightening, our surgeons will guide you through the most suitable options during your consultation.
Safe & comprehensive procedure
Ensuring your comfort and safety, our procedures are conducted under the supervision of an experienced anesthesiologist using monitored sedation. This approach provides a level of comfort comparable to a peaceful sleep in your own bed. Preparing for the procedure is crucial, and we advise refraining from smoking for at least three weeks prior to surgery. Smoking and nicotine can elevate the risks of complications and scarring during the healing process. Often, our Facelift are complemented by eyelid, brow, and chin enhancement surgeries, further enhancing your results.

FAQs
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face. It generally addresses sagging skin, deep creases around the nose and mouth, and loss of muscle tone.
On the other hand, a neck lift targets the neck area. It deals with issues such as loose skin, fat deposits under the chin, and muscle banding.
These procedures can be done together. Combining them can provide a more harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation. It ensures the face and neck look equally youthful.
A face and neck lift can effectively address various signs of aging, including:
- Sagging skin on the face and neck
- Deep creases and wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and chin
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Loose skin and excess fat below the chin and on the neck
- Vertical neck bands and muscle laxity
A facelift and neck lift can target these issues to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
You might be a good candidate if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the results
- Are experiencing visible signs of aging in your face and neck
- Have relatively good skin elasticity
- Are a non-smoker or are willing to quit before and after surgery
A consultation at SY Aesthetics in New York will allow our surgeons to assess your individual situation. They can help you determine if a facelift or neck lift (or both) is right for you.
Recovery from a facelift and neck lift varies by individual. Generally, you can expect:
- Initial swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks
- To wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing
- To limit strenuous activities for about four to six weeks
- A gradual return to normal activities within two to three weeks
- The final results will become visible over several months as swelling fully resolves
Our team at SY Aesthetics will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to set you up for a smooth and successful recovery.
The results of a facelift and neck lift can last a long time – typically around 10 years. While some of the effects may fade over time, your skin will still look better than if you hadn’t undergone the procedure at all.
Factors influencing the longevity of your results include:
- Skin type
- Lifestyle
- How well you care for your skin post-surgery
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, and protecting your skin from sun exposure can prolong the effects of your surgery.
Yes, combining a facelift and neck lift with other cosmetic procedures can provide even more dramatic outcomes. Common complementary surgeries include:
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to rejuvenate the eyes
- Brow lift to target forehead wrinkles and drooping eyebrows
- Rhinoplasty to reshape the nose and enhance facial harmony
At SY Aesthetics, our surgeons can develop a personalized treatment plan to address all your aesthetic goals. They will ensure a cohesive and natural-looking enhancement.
“You cannot hide your face with clothing, so it is crucial that a facial rejuvenation is done with a minimum of evidence. In as little as 45 minutes, under light sedation, by using a more modern approach, you can be back to work in a week looking refreshed and younger.”
