Neck Lift Surgery Cost in NYC

It depends on why the neck sags, and on where you have it done, since neck surgery cost varies significantly by geographic location. Fat under the chin with good skin may need only neck and chin liposuction, a short procedure. Loose skin can respond to Renuvion® tightening, while muscle bands and heavier laxity call for a neck lift with platysmaplasty. Each step up adds operating time and cost, so Dr. Grossman examines you first and then gives a personalized quote. You can also ask about financing, including Cherry and Prosper Healthcare Lending.

Your quote will itemize what is included; for his liposuction procedures the practice's price covers the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, the operating facility, staff and follow-up exams, so ask the office to confirm the same for your neck plan. Because surgery is performed in his outpatient center rather than a hospital, there is no hospital stay to pay for. Added procedures, such as a facelift, CO2 laser for sun-damaged skin or fat grafting, are priced into the same plan.

Dr. Grossman uses three tools, alone or together. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction removes hereditary or stubborn neck fat. Renuvion® (J-Plasma®) contracts loose tissue under the skin. A neck lift tightens the platysma muscle with his "corset platysmaplasty" and, for older patients or more laxity, adds special sutures under the chin or behind the ear. Many neck lifts combine all three in one session.

Sometimes. Neck and chin liposuction removes fat and works best when the skin still has good elasticity; it takes about 30 to 45 minutes under local or twilight anesthesia and is a much smaller operation than a full lift. If the skin is loose or platysmal bands show, liposuction alone will not tighten them, and Dr. Grossman will tell you honestly that a neck lift or Renuvion® is needed for the result you want.

Renuvion®, also known as J-Plasma®, sends radiofrequency energy through helium gas to heat and contract the tissue just under the skin, while the helium keeps the surface cool. Dr. Grossman has used it since 2015 and often pairs it with ultrasound-assisted liposuction during neck surgery. For some patients he delivers it on its own through a tiny incision, a lighter procedure than a full neck lift.

At your consultation Dr. Grossman examines your neck and jawline, evaluates skin quality, looks for platysmal bands and takes photographs. If you want your face treated too, he discusses whether a facelift should be done at the same time, as most women choose to do. You leave knowing which procedure he recommends, why, and what it will cost. His aim is a smooth, natural-looking neck and jawline rather than a tight, operated look.

Every neck procedure is performed at Dr. Grossman's fully accredited (AAAHC) surgery center at 3039 Emmons Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11235, where consultations and follow-up visits also take place. Neck surgery there is outpatient: you go home the same day and recover with compresses and head elevation, and after a full lift many resume normal activities within weeks. The practice relies on local anesthesia with IV sedation rather than general anesthesia, discomfort is usually mild, and his techniques often eliminate drain tubes, compression garments and narcotics, which keeps recovery comfortable. Call 212-585-2133 to schedule your visit.

Yes. You can ask the office to explain how neck lift surgery, neck and chin liposuction and Renuvion® are each priced before you decide. A firm figure follows your exam, because the right option depends on your skin, fat and muscle. As Dr. Grossman puts it, the least expensive surgery is not always the best value, since corrective procedures cost far more than one done right the first time.
