Revitalize Your Neckline

Dr. Doshi, one of the premiere plastic surgeons in the Long Island area, offers some of the best necklift results in the region, focusing on artistically-motivated results that look fresh and natural, and always avoid that overly-tight, “I’ve had some work done” type of look. The perfect remedy to issues like a so-called “turkey neck” or double chin, a neck lift in Long Island with Dr. Doshi can help you enjoy the youthfully refreshed appearance you know you deserve.
Is a Neck Lift
Procedure Right for Me?

- Sagging, lax skin on the neck
- A drooping, softened jawline
- Hanging, sagging jowls
- A double chin
- The dreaded “turkey waddle”
- Vertical lines, creases, in the skin on the neck
- Annoying deposits of fatty tissue
Dr. Doshi will work with you to ensure that you’re in good health and have proper skin laxity for the procedure, while also walking you through everything you’ll need to know. He’ll help you to understand the results you can expect, while also working to make sure your personal aesthetic aspirations are addressed by the custom treatment plan he’ll work alongside you to develop.
More About the Neck Lift Procedure
Dr. Doshi’s focus on elegant, graceful-looking results, along with his commitment to the most up-to-date procedures and technologies, allow him to offer one of the very best necklift procedures in the Long Island area.
His work can dramatically walk back some of the more noticeable impacts of aging and gravity, creating smoother, more contoured lines on the neck and jaw for a smoother, naturally youthful look that’ll turn heads all around town.
Dr. Doshi’s neck lift procedure involves the smoothing of wrinkles and lines in the neck area, the realignment of muscle and tissue structures under the skin, and the removal of unnecessary pockets of fat, for an overall smoother and fresher appearance to parts of the body that sometimes show the most conspicuous signs of aging.
Platysmaplasty
Some neck lift procedures in Dr. Doshi’s Long Island office involve the removal or realignment of the platysma muscles, which run from the collarbone to the jaw and help us with the act of swallowing. By tightening or repositioning these muscles, Dr. Doshi can dramatically reduce some of the more obvious signs of aging in the neck and jaw for a smoother, more elegant neckline.
The Deep Neck Lift
For patients who have a good-looking contour to their existing jawline, but are irritated by loose skin or fatty fullness in the neck area, the deep neck lift is a procedure that reshapes the area’s underlying tissues and muscle foundation for a tighter, more youthful appearance. With this procedure, Dr. Doshi can sculpt the area to create a more refined look, using a single, inconspicuous incision just behind the chin.

Dr. Doshi is a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Long Island, having performed over 4,000 surgeries and with years’ of intensive surgical training with some of the leading authorities in his field.

What’s the
Recovery Process Like?
The recovery process for a neck lift at Long Island's Doshi Plastic Surgery can vary, depending on the specifics of your surgery, and whether or not it was performed in conjunction with any other procedures. We’ll provide you with medication to help you avoid infection and deal with the pain, and you’ll need to keep the area bandaged for some time.
Swelling and bruising is normal, typically subsiding within a few weeks, while the full results often take shape over the course of a few months after your procedure. As you heal, you’ll want to keep your head elevated when sleeping, to help swelling and bruising dissipate. Dr. Doshi and his staff will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, and will schedule follow-up appointments, to ensure you’re healing properly.

Neck Lift - FAQs
How does a neck lift work?
Dr. Doshi makes discreet incisions behind the ears and, in some cases, under the chin to tighten the underlying platysma muscle and remove or redrape excess skin, producing a cleaner neck contour and more defined jawline. The procedure addresses loose skin, platysmal muscle banding, and submental fat deposits simultaneously.
What is the difference between a deep plane neck lift and a traditional neck lift?
A traditional neck lift addresses the skin layer and platysmal muscle through direct tightening. A deep plane neck lift releases and repositions the deeper soft tissue structures of the lower face and neck — producing results that are more comprehensive and tend to last longer, as the underlying tissue suspension is more robust than skin-only tightening. Dr. Doshi determines which approach is appropriate based on the degree of laxity, skin quality, and whether a facelift is being performed simultaneously.
Who is a good candidate for a neck lift on Long Island?
Good candidates are adults with noticeable neck skin laxity, platysmal banding, or submental fullness that has not responded to diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about outcomes. Dr. Doshi evaluates each patient individually at consultation.
What is platysmaplasty and is it included in a neck lift?
Platysmaplasty refers specifically to the surgical tightening of the platysma muscle — the broad, flat muscle that runs along the front of the neck. It is typically performed as part of a neck lift procedure when platysmal banding is present. Dr. Doshi includes platysmaplasty when clinically indicated, as addressing the muscle layer rather than just the skin produces more durable and natural-looking neck contouring.
What is neck liposuction and how does it differ from a neck lift?
Neck liposuction targets isolated submental fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. It is appropriate for patients with good skin elasticity who want to reduce a double chin without significant skin removal. A full neck lift is recommended when skin laxity or muscle banding is also present. The two procedures can be combined — Dr. Doshi frequently performs neck liposuction alongside platysmaplasty for comprehensive neck rejuvenation.
Can a neck lift be combined with a facelift?
Yes — this is one of the most frequently performed combinations at Dr. Doshi's Long Island practice. Facelift and neck lift address complementary areas of the lower face and neck, and performing them together produces more harmonious rejuvenation than either procedure alone. The recovery period is similar to a standalone facelift, and combining the procedures avoids a second anaesthetic and recovery.
What is recovery like after a neck lift on Long Island?
Most neck lift patients experience swelling and bruising for the first ten to fourteen days. The majority return to light daily activities within ten to fourteen days, with a return to more strenuous activity at four to six weeks. A compression garment is worn for the first one to two weeks post-operatively. Dr. Doshi provides detailed post-operative care instructions and sees all Long Island patients for follow-up appointments.
How long do neck lift results last?
Neck lift results are long-lasting — most patients see durable improvement for ten to fifteen years, depending on the technique used, skin quality, and how the patient ages. A deep plane approach tends to offer greater longevity than skin-only tightening. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding significant sun exposure supports the longevity of results.
What does a neck lift cost on Long Island?
Neck lift costs vary based on the extent of the procedure, whether it is combined with a facelift or neck liposuction, anaesthesia fees, and facility costs. Dr. Doshi provides a personalised cost estimate during consultation. Financing options are available through the practice.
Will a neck lift remove a double chin?
A neck lift addresses the structural causes of a double chin — excess skin, submental fat, and lax platysmal muscle. When submental fat is the primary concern and skin elasticity is good, neck liposuction alone may be sufficient. When skin laxity and muscle banding are also present, a neck lift or neck lift with liposuction produces the most complete correction. Dr. Doshi discusses which approach is appropriate during consultation.
Is a neck lift performed under general anaesthesia?
Neck lift procedures at Dr. Doshi's Long Island practice are performed under general anaesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the scope of the procedure and whether it is combined with additional treatments. All surgical procedures take place at a fully accredited surgical facility.
Does Dr. Doshi offer neck lift consultations at Long Island?
Yes. Surgical consultations for neck lift, platysmaplasty, and neck liposuction are available at both Long Island locations. Virtual consultations are also available as a first step for patients who prefer to discuss their goals remotely.
