A neck lift is not one-size-fits-all. During your consultation, Dr. Goldberg will create a plan tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. This appointment includes:
Assessment of Your Concerns: Dr. Goldberg will listen to what you find most bothersome about your neck.
Physical Examination: He will evaluate the quality of your skin, the amount of excess fat, and the condition of your underlying neck muscles.
Customized Surgical Plan: He will determine the precise techniques needed for your optimal result, which may include liposuction, platysmaplasty (muscle tightening), and skin removal.
Detailed Walkthrough: Dr. Goldberg will explain the procedure step-by-step, including the facility, anesthesia, recovery process, and cost.
Visualizing Your Result: You will have the opportunity to view before-and-after photos of previous neck lift patients.
Understanding the recovery process helps ensure a smooth healing journey.
Immediately After Surgery: You will wear a compression garment around your neck to minimize swelling and support the new contours. Some tightness, swelling, and bruising are normal.
The First Week: You will rest with your head elevated. Most patients are up and moving within a day or two. Discomfort is manageable with medication.
Week 1-2: Dr. Goldberg will remove your sutures. Swelling and bruising will begin to subside significantly, allowing you to see the initial improvement in your jawline.
Weeks 3-4: You can typically return to most daily activities and work. The majority of the swelling will resolve, revealing a more defined contour.
Months 2-6: As the residual swelling fully disappears and the incision lines fade, the final, sleek results of your neck lift will become fully apparent.
The neck is a complex area that requires a surgeon with specific expertise to avoid a "done" look. Dr. Goldberg is that surgeon.
Focused Expertise: Dr. Goldberg has refined his techniques to master the nuances of neck anatomy, ensuring natural and lasting results.
Artistic Eye for Profile: He understands that a successful neck lift creates a harmonious, graceful transition from the jaw to the neck.
Comprehensive Approach: He addresses all layers—fat, muscle, and skin—for a complete correction, not just a superficial fix.
Patient-Centered Care: Dr. Goldberg and his team provide compassionate, clear communication and support throughout your entire experience.
