CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FOR FAIRFIELD COUNTY & WESTCHESTER PATIENTS
As we age, the delicate skin on our neck often shows the first visible signs of time—sagging, excess fat, and muscle laxity that create a double chin, turkey wattle, or jowls. A neck lift is a surgical solution that can tighten skin, eliminate excess fat, and restore a more youthful, defined neckline.
Dr. Elsa Raskin is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Greenwich, Connecticut, with two decades of experience performing neck lift procedures. Her expertise and commitment to natural-looking results have earned her recognition as a Top Doctor by Greenwich Magazine for ten consecutive years.
WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure used to trim away and tighten drooping skin, tighten platysmal muscles, and eliminate stubborn fatty tissue. It is an outpatient procedure and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
At the start, the treatment area is cleaned with an antiseptic, and then incisions are made behind the ears and/or under the chin. Excess skin is eliminated with a scalpel through excision. Loose platysmal muscles are tightened with the help of internal sutures. If you have excess fat, it is removed using liposuction. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, which will be removed between one week and two weeks after your procedure.
ARE YOU A SUITABLE CANDIDATE?
Here are some details that will help you determine whether this option is right for you:
You should be in good health and have average body weight proportionate to your height and age.
Your fat deposits must be stubborn and cannot be removed through exercise and diet.
You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
You are not a smoker.
You do not consume alcohol regularly.
You have realistic expectations regarding treatment results.
YOUR CONSULTATION: WHAT TO EXPECT
Your treatment will begin with a consultation with Dr. Raskin, who will determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. She will review your present health condition, medications, medical history, allergies, and family medical history. She will also perform an examination. If you are a suitable candidate, she will then create a treatment plan.

You may be asked to wear a compression garment for one week. This elastic post-surgical garment reduces swelling and bruising while helping the skin conform to the area’s new contours.
You are restricted from doing certain activities while you heal from the procedure, including heavy exercise and sports. You will need to take some time off from work as well.
