The availability of non-surgical options in cosmetic dermatology has made it easier for most people to try new treatments. A liquid facelift, for instance, gives you a chance to “test drive” a new look before committing to a surgical facelift. While non-surgical procedures sound like the quick, safe, and easy approach, they may not always be the most suitable solution to your aesthetic needs and goals. Sometimes, taking the surgical route is the better choice. So, how do you know which procedure is right for you?
Esteemed double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS, specializes in cosmetic facial surgeries including the classic facelift in Manhattan, New York. He creates custom treatment plans utilizing the most advanced techniques to help you achieve your ideal look. Furthermore, his Natralook® process empowers you to help design your transformation journey and achieve your desired results.
What is a Liquid Facelift?
For younger patients who do not have severe aging symptoms and do not want to undergo surgery, a liquid facelift can provide restorative and rejuvenating results without the need for incisions or anesthesia. To perform a liquid facelift, doctors inject fillers and neuromodulators into targeted areas, adding volume to the cheeks or contouring the jawline, all while eliminating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Depending on the injectables used, liquid facelift results can last for up to two years. Even though you did not “go under the knife,” the appropriate patient can still receive impressive anti-aging results. To learn more about liquid facelift, visit healthcare.utah.edu

What You Need to Know About Surgical Facelifts
Over time, the skin loses elasticity and begins to sag, causing deep creases, wrinkles, droopy eyes, jowls, and pronounced loose folds. While we can’t stop the aging process, a surgical facelift is an effective rewind button that can take years off your appearance. The traditional facelift is a household name in the beauty world—and for good reason. Surgical facelift results are more dramatic compared to liquid facelifts and last longer because surgeons tighten underlying muscles, remove excess skin and fat, and reposition the skin, taking a more thorough approach.
Since a surgical facelift is a more complex procedure, it is important to understand what the procedure is designed to address and what outcome you can potentially achieve.
When Surgery is the Right Choice
Because surgeons tailor a surgical facelift to your unique bone structure, skin condition, and aging patterns, you can achieve a lifted, firmer appearance with younger-looking skin while still looking like yourself. Specifically, you can benefit from a surgical facelift when:
1. You Have Severe Aging Symptoms
Surgical facelifts are ideal for older people or those who are looking for a dramatic solution to significantly sagging skin, defined wrinkles, loose jawlines, and deep creases. When performed properly, a facelift can turn back the clock by smoothing the skin, firming up muscle tone, and restoring attractive facial contours.
However, if you’re still young and would like to address early signs of aging and experience long-lasting results but are not ready for an invasive full-facelift, you may be able to find your desired results through a Micro-Lift, which uses smaller incisions and requires less downtime.
2. You Can See Significant Skin Laxity
While fillers can plump up areas to restore natural fullness, they cannot restore elasticity to skin that has begun to sag. Facelifts are best-known for addressing skin laxity. Surgeons remove and tighten skin that’s begun drooping with age, producing a more youthful look. By removing excess tissue, surgeons can address the following:
Jowls
Turkey wattles
Overall aged appearance
Droopy skin around the eye area
However, surgeons should not pull skin too tight, as this can create a frozen, wind-blown appearance that is typical of procedures performed by inexperienced surgeons. Dr. Miller will ensure your results are very natural and that you look like a younger, refreshed version of yourself.
3. Your Neck Also Needs Rejuvenation
Since the neck’s skin is thinner than facial skin, the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. A facelift without a neck lift can create an unbalanced look. This is why surgeons usually perform a neck lift in conjunction with a facelift. By lifting and tightening the deeper tissue along the jawline, pulling up the sagging tissue, and excising loose skin, you can achieve a smooth and very defined jawline to complement your younger-looking face.
4. You Don’t Want to Come in Every Few Months
A surgical facelift offers the most long-lasting results of any other anti-aging procedure available today. Since it addresses sagging skin and volume loss with a more thorough and comprehensive approach, results can last for up to 10 years.
5. You Want Dramatic Results
Considered the gold standard in facial rejuvenation, a facelift offers the most dramatic improvement in addressing the signs of aging. While patients seeking subtle results have found injectables to be effective in achieving their desired look, those who undergo a surgical facelift get a more striking transformation by correcting sagging skin, removing jowls, lifting the cheeks, and refreshing the overall appearance. When performed well, this procedure can take 10+ years off your appearance while maintaining your natural look.

Facelifts are the gold standard of long-lasting, anti-aging procedures, but many believe outdated or simply wrong information about what this surgery does for patients. As with most new cosmetic procedures, the facelift was met with great skepticism, but thanks to advancements in technology and surgical techniques, it’s losing its infamy, which is why 123,685 people in the U.S. chose to undergo this surgery in 2019.
Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS, is an innovator in facial plastic surgery, and he offers the latest and best techniques for facial rejuvenation in Manhattan, New York. Using his proprietary NatraLook process, Dr. Miller guides patients through an aesthetic journey to help each person realize the best procedures for their unique goals and facial structure. Facelifts are one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in New York, and Dr. Miller debunks 10 common myths about this procedure below.
Myth #1 I Will Be Unrecognizable After A Facelift
When facelifts first emerged, most people associated them with a dramatic, windblown look. This is not the result when Dr. Miller performs your procedure. The goal of your facelift is to maintain your appearance and simply refresh your face. You will still look like yourself, but younger, refreshed, and perhaps more alert. Dr. Miller uses the most advanced techniques to enhance your natural beauty and help you achieve your desired results.
Myth #2 I’m Not Old Enough for a Facelift
Everyone ages differently and at varying speeds, so there are generally no age requirements for cosmetic procedures, including facelifts. Factors like sun exposure, lifestyle choices, and even genetics may affect the rate of your aging process, so some 40-year-olds may be ready for a facelift while others might not start thinking about this procedure for another decade. Dr. Miller also offers mini facelifts, which feature smaller incisions and shorter recovery periods, for those with less advanced aging signs.
Myth #3 Only Women Get Facelifts
Both women and men can benefit from the results of facelifts. While more women than men undergo this procedure, 12,597 men chose to get a facelift in 2019, according to the Plastic Surgery Statistics Report. Women and men typically have different goals for their facelift results. While women are primarily interested in restoring youthful contours and reducing jowl formation, men usually get facelifts to achieve strong cheekbones, a chiseled jawline, and an overall rejuvenated appearance.
Myth #4 Facelifts Are Too Painful
Any surgery requires some recovery, which may be accompanied by discomfort around the incisions. Facelifts are not among the most painful surgical procedures, and Dr. Miller’s patients typically only need Tylenol during their recovery. The best-performed facelifts cause minimal pain, and most of his patients say they are surprised at how little pain they feel. Our team will provide you with detailed post-op recovery instructions, and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Myth #5 Everyone Will Know I Got A Facelift
While facelifts provide dramatic results for patients, the changes are mostly noticeable to the patients themselves, not to those around them. A successful procedure will enhance your unique beauty, not change your appearance to a uniform standard. Dr. Miller will customize your procedure to your unique facial structure to leave you looking younger and more refreshed. Furthermore, the incisions he makes will be hidden and heal to be virtually invisible, and bruising can be easily hidden up with makeup.
Myth #6 I Won’t Need A Neck Lift
Anti-aging procedures usually focus on the face, but just below your face is an area just as visible and even more susceptible to aging symptoms – your neck. Neck skin is thinner than facial skin, so sun damage and internal physical changes often appear on the neck more dramatically. Because the face and neck are typically on display together, Dr. Miller typically recommends getting a facelift and a neck lift at the same time. If your face is looking refreshed and virtually wrinkle-free after your facelift, but your platysma or neck bands are protruding and wrinkles are covering your neck, your appearance will be unbalanced. Combining a facelift with a neck lift can mean longer-lasting and even more dramatic results.
Myth #7 Other Treatments Can Give the Same Results
Dr. Miller offers non-surgical facelift alternatives, such as his signature MillerLift. This technique involves a combination of injectable treatments to minimize wrinkles and contour the face. You can achieve excellent results with treatments like the MillerLift, but none are as long-lasting or all-encompassing as a facelift because only facelifts can address loose, sagging skin, weak underlying muscles, and connective tissues all at once.
Myth #8 I Won’t Need Any More Treatments After My Facelift
Aging will continue after your facelift, but procedures will usually be small touch-ups and not necessarily more surgery. You will likely need to come into our Manhattan office periodically for years after your facelift. Laser treatments are popular as post-facelift procedures.
Myth #9 Weeks of Recovery is Not Worth It
You are welcome to schedule your facelift procedure as far in advance as you would like to make planning around it easier. Thankfully, most patients return to regular activities after just two weeks, and some are back even sooner. Because you likely won’t need to come back for regular treatments as often, you will end up spending less time away from work and other activities in the long-run.
Myth #10 All Facial Plastic Surgeons Are the Same
When you’re deciding who to trust with your facelift procedure, you should look for the best. Dr. Miller has been voted among the Best Doctors in America consistently since 2017 and a Top Doctor of New York. In 2019, Dr. Philip Miller won the Castle Connolly Top Doctors award. Dr. Miller has served as a guest examiner for the American Board of Otolaryngology and is a member of the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. With more than 20 years of experience, you can achieve great results with a procedure by top plastic surgeon, Dr. Miller.

When you’re considering cosmetic treatments to enhance and rejuvenate your own appearance, it is best to pair complementary treatments for optimal, long-term outcomes. One such perfect pair is a facelift and neck lift by Dr. Philip J. Miller.
At his Manhattan, NY plastic surgery clinic, Dr. Miller combines the best treatments for facial rejuvenation. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Miller focuses exclusively on treatments for the face and neck, so he is able to create custom treatment plans for each of his patients, using his proprietary NatraLook Process. Dr. Miller is revered as one of the country’s leading experts on facial rejuvenation, and he uses his expertise and years of experience to provide the best face and neck lifts possible. Dr. Miller has three good reasons why he often recommends combining these two treatments into one surgical procedure.
Facelift, neck lift, and dermabrasion to enhance the appearance of a female patient by Dr. Miller. Surgery removes loose skin, jowls, and wrinkles to produce a smoother, firmer facial profile.
1. The Combination Creates a Balanced Look
Many anti-aging and rejuvenation treatments focus on the face because the face is generally what others notice first. Just below, and about as visible as your face, is your neck. Unfortunately, it’s often forgotten when it comes to cosmetic treatments, despite its equal prominence. Both the face and the neck exhibit aging symptoms, but the skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate, so it can sometimes age faster and more dramatically. The aging symptoms you might see on the face and neck include wrinkles, lines, sagging skin, and loss of definition. Facelifts and neck lifts address all these symptoms, and pairing these procedures can give you a consistent youthful glow from the top of your forehead all the way down to your collarbone.
As the face and neck are both subject to the aging process, both should be treated equally. If you lift just one, the lack of balance will cause the treated area to look out of place. The untreated area will also likely be what others notice first, causing you to appear older.

2. Look Younger for Longer
When you treat a larger area, your overall results are more natural, dramatic, and durable. When Dr. Miller performs your face and neck lifts, he not only lifts the skin, but he also removes excess skin, tightens the underlying muscles, and repositions the natural fat. This ensures a long-lasting, youthful result. The results from both treatments will build on and enhance each other and address more issues than could be fixed with just one procedure. While a facelift alone can minimize jowl formations, a neck lift can further contour your jawline. A neck lift can smooth away wrinkles, while a facelift can remove excess skin on your lower face to reveal your youthful neck. Combining these procedures can give you much greater youthfulness than either one alone.

3. Reduced Cost and Risk
Getting two treatments at once means a quicker, less costly experience overall. You will only need to take one trip to our Manhattan plastic surgery clinic for your procedures, and any follow-up appointments can be used to monitor the recovery process for both lift treatments. The overall cost of your procedures will be less than if you underwent them separately, since combining procedures saves our practice time, money, and resources, too. You will only need to go under anesthesia once, which not only saves you money but also minimizes the risk of complications since anesthesia is a primary risk factor when undergoing any surgery. Perhaps most importantly, you can recover from your procedures at the same time, only needing to take time off work or out of your busy schedule once to heal. Undergoing two procedures does not typically extend the length of the recovery process either.

Facelift and Neck Lift Alternatives
You may not need a facelift or neck lift yet if your aging symptoms are less advanced or you are unsure about undergoing an invasive surgery. The good news is there are many alternative treatment options you can choose for face and neck rejuvenation.
A MicroLift is much less invasive than a traditional facelift, as Dr. Miller performs it in his Manhattan office in less than an hour and patients only need local anesthesia. This slight lift can diminish the appearance of wrinkles while lifting your face to give you a youthful look. The results from this procedure are long-lasting, and can be a great option for those with minimal aging symptoms looking to refresh their facial appearance without much downtime.
If you’re looking to completely avoid surgery, Dr. Miller offers his proprietary MillerLift technique to lift and refresh the face. This procedure is similar to a “liquid facelift,” and it can target concerns such as:
Wrinkles
Sagging skin
Hollowing
Volume loss
Dr. Miller assesses your facial structure and selects the best injectables to target your concerns and provide you with a complete facial transformation. To find out if a liquid facelift is right for you, please visit hopkinsmedicine.org.
Finally, Dr. Miller can combine either of these treatments with NeckTite therapy. NeckTite involves removing excess fat with submental liposuction, followed by the use of radiofrequency energy to tighten overlying skin under the chin for a smooth, contoured neck and jawline.

If you are considering a cosmetic procedure to improve your appearance, your chin may not be the first feature that comes to mind. However, the chin and jawline can add or detract significantly from your overall look. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to treat this area, to create a balanced and proportionate facial contour.
As a world-renowned, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Philip J. Miller offers a variety of options for sculpting and contouring the chin and jawline. From quick injectable treatments to long-lasting surgical procedures, Dr. Miller will customize your treatment to your precise needs and goals to achieve his signature NatraLook every time. With more than 20 years of experience, you can rest assured you will receive the highest level of care and superior results when you choose Dr. Miller for your chin procedure.
What a Strong Chin Can Do For You
In a well-proportioned face, the forehead, nose, and chin are all in balance. If the chin is recessed or weak, there can be a perception the nose is too big or the jawline is not proportionate. In men, a well-defined chin exudes masculinity, strength, and attractiveness. In women, a fuller chin can create harmony with the rest of the facial features.
Chin augmentation may provide the following benefits:
Strengthen a weak, recessed chin
Create a more symmetrical jawline
Eliminate the appearance of a double chin
Create a more harmonious facial profile
Balance out a larger nose
Define the transition from the jaw to the neck
In the past, implants were the sole option in augmenting the chin. While this is still the best choice for some patients, there are other choices in chin augmentation today as well. This allows Dr. Miller to tailor treatments to the precise needs and goals of each patient, ensuring patient satisfaction with the most natural results possible.
Surgical vs. Nonsurgical Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation is a procedure designed to correct the projection, asymmetry, or overall shape of the chin. When a chin is recessed, chin augmentation adds projection and definition to the jawline. If the chin is asymmetrical, chin augmentation can be used to balance the contour. In some cases, chin augmentation requires treatment of a double chin, by removing submental fat beneath the jawline. When a chin augmentation is performed well, it can transform the entire balance and harmony of the face.
Surgical chin augmentation often involves placing an implant inside the tissue to create the needed projection. In most cases, this procedure offers permanent improvement. If a double chin is a concern, liposuction is another surgical option that can be used to remove the submental fat. These two surgeries can be performed as stand-alone procedures or at the same time by a plastic surgeon to further enhance the results.
Dr. Miller may perform nonsurgical chin augmentation using injectable dermal fillers. The fillers are strategically placed to provide just the amount of fullness needed to create a more balanced jawline. The advantage of this approach is that you can place a specific amount of filler into a precise location to get just the amount of augmentation you need. The drawback is that filler treatments offer temporary results and will need to be repeated periodically to maintain your improvement.
The Nonsurgical Approach: Injectable Chin Augmentation
Dermal fillers are used for everything from smoothing away wrinkles to restoring youthful volume in key areas of the face. They can also be an effective method of facial contouring, without anesthesia, incisions, or downtime. Dr. Miller uses multiple fillers for nonsurgical chin augmentation, which allows him to personalize your treatment based on your precise needs and desired results. Popular options include Restylane, Voluma, and Radiesse. The right filler for you will depend on the amount of correction you need and the improvement you hope to achieve.
Another option in nonsurgical chin augmentation is facial fat grafting. During this procedure, Dr. Miller removes a small amount of fat from another area of the body, processes it, and injects it into the chin area to boost volume and definition. Fat is injected in a similar fashion to dermal fillers, but it can offer longer-lasting results.
One and Done: Surgical Chin Augmentation
For patients who prefer the one-and-done approach, chin implants might be a better choice. Implants come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so plastic surgeon, Dr. Miller can choose the implant that will produce the most proportionate, natural result for you. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes to complete. Incisions are placed under the chin or inside the mouth to minimize visible scarring after surgery. Recovery is about one week. Visit medlineplus.gov to learn more about surgical chin augmentation.
If you want to eliminate a double chin, liposuction is typically recommended. This procedure is also performed with local anesthesia and tiny incisions that allow for the insertion of micro-cannulas. Recovery is just a few days when the procedure is performed as a stand-alone treatment, but it can also be performed at the same time as chin augmentation for a more comprehensive result.
Just for Men: Dr. Miller’s G.I. Jaw® Technique
For men who are looking to chisel their jawline to achieve a more masculine appearance, Dr. Miller has created the innovative G.I. Jaw technique. This combination of procedures is customized for each patient and may include:
Injectables to add volume and contour
Kybella or liposuction to remove submental fat or a “double-chin”
NeckTite, a radiofrequency device that tightens skin without surgery
Medical-grade implants
Dr. Miller masterfully mixes and matches these procedures to strengthen the jawline, improve facial asymmetry, and augment the chin. Recovery and results will vary, based on the specific procedures used.

As we near October, many are thinking about how they can spread awareness of breast cancer, but at Gotham Plastic Surgery and for others, October is also known as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Started in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, this month has proven to be critical in gaining momentum to helping victims of domestic violence, and Dr. Phillip Miller has taken a prominent stance in ensuring he is playing a part in providing assistance and solutions.
Face to Face: The Domestic Violence Project delivers pro bono facial plastic and reconstructive surgery to domestic violence survivors. The aim is to repair injuries to the face, head, and neck that are the result of violence brought forth by a partner.
Though the goal is to be able to physically address and repair the outward damage caused by a partner, there are other motives behind this work. In addressing the damage and providing necessary reconstructive work, another underlying goal is also met: empowering those who have been affected, thus freeing them from harmful situations and helping them live successful lives. Since the program began in 1994, more than 1,000 women in need have been helped.
Dr. Phllip Miller of Gotham Plastic Surgery volunteers his time and talent to this project, offering relief and empowerment to victims of domestic assault. Dr. Miller specializes in facial plastic surgery in New York and is recognized as an expert in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation procedures, so he is able to provide an expert level of care to patients within the program. Dr. Miller is even voted among the Best Doctors in America consistently since 2007 and Top Doctor of New York.
Dr. Phillip Miller’s Helping Hands: Carla’s Story
In 2010, Carla was met with an attempt to end her life by her partner. Having to wear scarves to hide the scars on her neck brought on by the attack, she lost confidence and happiness. One scar measured to be a 4 inch vertical mark, and there were several other horizontal scars.
Without Face to Face, a surgery to heal these scars would have cost Carla approximately $8,000. But with the program’s help, Carla received treatment from Philip Miller, MD FACS, and regained some of what she had lost.
“There’s an increase in confidence, there’s an increase in self-esteem. There is a sense of closure,” Dr. Miller said in an interview with NBC7 about the transformation he’s seen after a survivor receives treatment through this program.
In the interview, we see Dr. Miller address Carla, reminding her that though sharing her story will help encourage others, the pro bono treatment was for her to enjoy most of all.
Carla says that the first thing she would do post-surgery was purchase a necklace, no longer feeling the need to hide behind scarves. The successful results of the surgery allowed for Carla to finally shed her neck scarves and reveal her beautiful, healed neck. To watch her interview on NBC7, click here.
Susan’s Story
When philanthropic acts begin, it is hard to stop them; and for good reason. Dr. Phillip Miller has gone on to help a number of other survivors of domestic abuse, including Susan. Susan had an abusive partner who, during their relationship, broke her nose and tore her ear.
Though finding the strength, bravery, and opportunity to remove herself from the situation, Susan still lost quite a bit of confidence. Reaching out to Face to Face, Susan met Dr. Miller and received her own transformation.
Dr. Miller performed a rhinoplasty to fix her nose and an ear surgery to restore her torn ear. The combined surgeries would have cost Susan thousands of dollars. But the charitable acts of Dr. Miller and the many surgeons who volunteer within this charity allow for real internal and external transformations for those who turn to this program for help, at no cost to the patients.
“The fact that I can look in the mirror now and see myself for who I really am, and not what that monster did to me every day, is very empowering,” Susan said when providing her testimony to Dr. Miller. “I feel like I won now, and I took my power back.”
Providing corrective surgery to alleviate the scars, the damage, and the ghastly reminders of traumatic events left on survivors from their partners, is a rewarding feat for everyone involved. While the survivors of domestic abuse have the opportunity to reclaim their power, confidence, and sense of self, Dr. Phillip Miller has the opportunity to pave a new path for each patient.
Dr. Miller is considered one of the country’s leading experts in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. He is double board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, and he’s even written chapters for rhinoplasty and neck rejuvenation textbooks, which means Carla and Susan received the best care possible.
Face to Face: The Domestic Violence project has been around for nearly 30 years, with a number of plastic surgeons ready to assist these survivors. With one million women requiring medical attention from domestic assault each year, out of the five million women who are affected, they are touched by the helping hands of each surgeon that aims to deliver new freedoms to these survivors.

Nobody wants a neck lift. Seriously. If we had our druthers, our swan necks would be lithe and tight until death do we part.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature, time, and the sun all conspire to create loose, crepey, and sagging skin on your neck that makes you look 10-20 years older than your energy and your otherwise glowing skin would suggest. In fact, if you have a turkey neck and only have the budget for one type of plastic surgery or procedure, a neck lift should be your first choice. A neck lift is so essential to a convincing rejuvenation, in fact, that almost all surgical face liftprocedures also include a neck lift.
If you’ve been researching neck lifts, you’ve probably realized that there are a couple of different options. How do you choose a neck lift? The answer depends on what you need.
Phillip J. Miller, MD, FACS, an expert facial plastic surgeon in New York with an artist’s eye and touch is one of the most skilled practitioners of neck liftsin the country. Not only has he written neck lift chapters for medical textbooks, he also developed the innovativeNeck-Tite™ nonsurgical neck lift. With Neck-Tite, Dr. Miller removes excess chin fat and jowls using BodyTite™’s patented radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology combined with a specialized applicator, which also tightens and contours the neck and chin area.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
Both a surgical neck lift and Neck-Tite resolve a “turkey neck” by tightening sagging skin under your chin or on your jowls that look aged and unflattering. The benefits you can expect with either procedure include:
Tighter, smoother neck
No more double chin
No more jowls
Sharper jawline
Turns back clock 8-10 years
If you opt for a surgical neck lift, Dr. Miller also tightens the platysma muscle that underlies your neck skin. Tightening the platysma muscle makes a surgical neck lift a very long-lasting procedure. You can expect for your neck to look younger than your non-treated peers for 10 years or more.
Candidates for a Neck lift
If you’ve noticed sagging skin under your chin or a softer jawline, you may be a candidate for Neck-Tite or a surgical neck lift. Signs that you could benefit from a neck lift include:
Double chin
Jowls
Crepey neck skin
Sagging skin under the chin
Sagging on neck
Neckbands
Soft, saggy profile
Soft or diffuse jawline
While you can choose whichever procedure you prefer, if you have significant sagging or if your skin has lost elasticity, Dr. Miller may recommend a surgical neck lift. With surgery, he also removes excess fat from your lower face and neck with liposuction.
If you have just a small pouch of skin and fat under your chin, Dr. Miller may recommend a liposuction-only treatment. Liposuction removes double-chin fat, plus slightly tightens your neck skin in the treatment area.
How to Prepare for a Neck lift
If you want to tighten your neck with liposuction alone or with a Neck-Tite procedure, you can relax: You don’t need to do any preparation at all. Dr. Miller and his staff may recommend that you quit smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications for a few weeks before your neck lift.
On the day of your treatment, you simply come to our New York City office. The entire procedure is conducted under IV anesthesia. If you choose twilight anesthesia, you’ll need to take a cab home or have a friend pick you up, because you’ll be sleepy afterward.
If you’re having surgery, Dr. Miller and his staff will provide you with a full list of substances to avoid before your procedure, including cigarettes and blood thinners. You should arrange for someone to help you take a cab home. You should also arrange for household help and take off from work for at least a week while you heal.
Also, be prepared for a few double-takes and long, lingering looks after your neck lift has healed. You’ll look:
Younger
Fresher
More vibrant
If you don’t want anyone to know that you’ve had “work” done, you might want to create a “beard” for your rejuvenation by taking a mini spa vacation or trying a new hairstyle. Your friends and colleagues will envy your new, vibrant look — without any visible, telltale scars to tell them how you achieved it.

Adding on to your neck lift
Of course, if you need a neck lift, chances are your face could use a boost, too. Depending on the degree you want to improve and rejuvenate the contours of your face, you might opt for non-surgicalprocedures, such as lasers and dermal fillers, or a type of liquid facelift calledThe Miller Lift that uses Botox® and fillers to lift and re-contour the planes and curves of your face.
If you’re having a surgical neck lift, that’s a great time to add in a surgical facelift, too. Choose from:
Micro-Lift — skin-only lift for slight aging; mimics the lift you get when you pull your hair back in a ponytail or bun
Mini-Facelift — a mini-lift uses shorter incisions to fix moderate lower-face drooping
Facelift — a full facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, lifts the entire lower face, including the underlying SMAS layer, for long-lasting improvement. Dr. Philip Miller almost always recommends a surgical neck lift when you opt for a facelift

Without question, your wedding day is going to be one of the most special and memorable events of your life. Not only is it the day when you and your beloved make a heartfelt commitment to each other in front of your family and friends, but it’s also a day that will be undoubtedly immortalized in dozens of beautiful professional photos and a high-end video, too.
Of course, you want to look your best for your partner. But you also want to look your best for posterity. That’s why a wedding gives you the perfect opportunity to indulge in the ultimate head-to-toe makeover.
But just as a perfect wedding takes planning, so does a perfect wedding makeover. You don’t want to be healing from lip injections when the photographer catches a candid shot. Nor should you get fitted for your wedding dress or tux before you’ve sculpted your ideal figure!
If looking your best is part of your wedding plans, Dr. Phillip J. Miller and his team of experts in New York City can help. Below are some of their most popular pre-wedding treatments, along with a timeline that will give you the ideal time-frame as to when you should schedule!
Re-shape your nose
Rhinoplasty
If rhinoplasty is part of your journey toward facial harmony, you need to schedule that as far in advance as you do an ideal venue. To fully heal from a surgical rhinoplasty, you need to allow about one year.
Schedule: More than a year before your wedding day.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
But if you’ve already past the deadline, don’t despair: A non-surgical rhinoplasty might be all you need to create the most flattering profile of your life. Dr. Miller has developed a non-surgical rhinoplasty that utilizes dermal fillers to correct nasal defects in just minutes. A quick and pain-free non-surgical rhinoplasty can create beautiful changes, including:
Evening out a nose-bump
Correcting small dips
Correcting asymmetries
Straightening your nose with injectable dermal fillers may even make it appear shorter. A non-surgical rhinoplasty only takes a few minutes and doesn’t cause any pain or swelling. Results can last for 18-24 months.
Schedule: Several weeks before the wedding.
Eliminate Loose Skin
Facelift
If you’re in the market for a full-on surgical facelift, make sure you leave at least six months to heal. Like a surgical rhinoplasty, a surgical facelift is a long-term project that has lifetime results. Once you turn back the hands of time, you continue to age from that prior stage, looking 10 years younger than your peers (provided they’re not also patients of Dr. Miller’s, of course!).
Schedule: More than one year before your wedding.
Micro-lift
If you’re still in your 20s or 30s, you could benefit from a Micro Lift, which mimics the result of wearing a tight ponytail. In this skin-only facelift, Dr. Miller makes a small incision in front of your ear and lifts from there. Results are subtle but permanent.
Schedule: At least two months before your wedding
Face-Tite
Dr. Miller and his team also have a bouquet of non-surgical face-lifting methods to lift sagging skin and spirits. You can look younger than you ever dreamed of by rejuvenating your skin with:
Face-Tite™ — A combination of mini liposuction and radiofrequency (RF) energy, Face-Tite sculpts away sagging, aging fat from your eyebags, jowls, chin, and neck while tightening your skin. You can tighten every area of your face from brow to neck.
Schedule: At least six weeks before the wedding. You’ll see amazing results by then, though your skin grows tighter and firmer for up to a year.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy® — This non-surgical face and neck tightening procedure relies on the power of ultrasound waves to heat your collagen, which both contracts it and stimulates your body to create new collagen. Depending on how severe your skin sagging is, you may need more than one treatment. Ultherapy works with your body’s healing and rebuilding capabilities, so it takes several months before you see the degree of tightening and firming that you desire.
Schedule: At least three months before the wedding for one treatment, or seven months for two treatments.
Miller Lift
Miller Lift — This non-surgical liquid facelift uses nothing but injectable dermal fillers and Botox® to re-contour and lift your face to a more youthful position. You can erase frown lines and nasolabial folds, while lifting and building your midface and cheekbones.
Schedule: Two weeks before your wedding.
Touch up trouble spots
Whether you’ve opted for other treatments or not, to create a portrait-perfect face you may want to smooth out your brow and fill in creases and wrinkles. We custom-design a treatment plan with dermal fillers and Botox to give you the smooth, silky skin that you (and your makeup artist) deserve. Botox lasts between 3-4 months. Dermal fillers can last for up to a year.
Schedule: 2 weeks before your wedding for fillers
Get an extra glow
You’ll already be glowing from excitement and fulfillment when the Big Day arrives. But you can boost your luminance with skin treatments that detoxify your skin, slough off old skin cells and resolve acne scars and dark spots. Our aestheticians choose from a variety of med spa treatments that are right for your skin type and problem areas. Many treatments have the added benefit of tightening your skin, too.
Schedule: A week or two before your wedding.
Sculpt your Body
Don’t rely on Spanx to create your perfect wedding silhouette, or on willpower either, as indicated by this study. Sculpting away excess fat and tightening your muscles ensures you’ll look amazing both in your dress or tux and in your wedding night lingerie (and out of it, too).
CoolSculpting® — If you’d rather eliminate fat without any kind of incisions or downtime, a series of up to three CoolSculpting treatments freezes off excess bulges, including muffin tops and thunder thighs. Leave about a month between treatments. To learn more about CoolSculpting, visit ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Schedule: At least six months in advance of your wedding.

Once upon a time, you didn’t have many options after the signs of facial aging started to appear, other than smearing your face with ineffective cold cream or wearing a chin strap to try to lift up your jowls. Nowadays, though, there are so many choices offered in New York City for reversing signs of aging and rejuvenating your skin that you may be overwhelmed and uncertain of what choice to make.
You might even feel paralyzed by the number of options available to you — stuck in the “paradox of choice” that we sometimes experience in our abundant world. At Dr. Phillip J. Miller’s Facial Plastic Surgery practice, we want to make sifting through your abundance of choices easy for you. Here are a few questions that can help you decide whether you’re ready for a surgical facelift, or if another option better suits your needs and lifestyle.
Do you want immediate results for your face?
You’ve made up your mind to turn back the clock, but you don’t want to spend weeks to months in recovery from a surgical facelift. A liquid facelift is by far your best option if you want to leave our office looking anywhere from 5-10 years younger, with no recovery time at all. Dr. Miller developed his own variation on a liquid facelift — dubbed the Miller Lift — in which he resculpts and re-contours your face to look more youthful, using only injectable therapies.
Facelift, neck lift, dermabrasion and earlobe repair to enhance the appearance of a female patient by Dr. Miller.
Dr. Miller may choose from a variety of dermal fillers to find ones with the right consistency, longevity, and composition to reverse the signs of aging on your face. You can use a liquid facelift to:
Restore volume to your midface, which lifts up a slightly sagging lower face
Build up your cheekbones for greater elegance and more lift, too
Fill in hollows under your eyes or on your temples
Smooth out and un-do deep creases around your nose and mouth
Re-contour your jawline and chin to be sharper and more youthful
Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, including perioral lines
Rejuvenate and plump up your lips
Philip Miller, MD, may recommend combining hyaluronic-acid (HA)-based fillers (e.g., Juvéderm® and Restylane®) with collagen stimulators (e.g., Radiesse® and Sculptra®) to give you the best of both worlds. The HA fillers immediately add volume, lift, and add smoothness to your face so that you look visibly younger in less than an hour. The collagen stimulators work over the long-term, in the deeper layers of your dermis, to create more collagen that rebuilds and strengthens your skin from the inside out. Together, they provide a powerhouse of anti-aging benefits.
Your treatment could also include Botox® as part of your liquid rejuvenation. Botox smooths out wrinkles:
On your forehead
Between your brows
At the top of your nose
Around your eye corners
*Patient results may vary
However, Botox’s benefits don’t stop there. Dr. Miller can also use Botox to relax tensed muscles around your jawline, neck, and mouth to create cosmetic improvements such as:
Softer, more feminine jawline
Liquid neck lift
Nonsurgical lip flip
The final component in a Miller Lift is Kybella® — an injectable treatment that melts away unwanted facial fat. Dr. Miller uses Kybella to eliminate double chins and jowls, and tighten the skin along your jawline.
The downside of a liquid facelift is that some of your immediate and dramatic benefits are temporary. You will need periodic touch-ups of both the dermal fillers and Botox (though not of Kybella!), which can range from every 3-4 months for Botox, to up to 24 months for some fillers. We are able to schedule your maintenance checkups and send you reminders so that you always look great, but if you’d rather trade the time savings of a liquid facelift for the ultimately lower cost of more long-term anti-aging solutions, then keep reading.
Are you willing to wait (just a bit) for your facelift? There is an in-between option.
Non-surgical skin-tightening treatments can dramatically rejuvenate your look over time without incisions or scars. They work by stimulating collagen in the deep layers of your skin, which thickens and strengthens your skin, literally turning back time. Although you may notice a difference in the texture and firmness of your skin directly after your first treatment, your skin gets tighter and more youthful-looking over the next several months as your body produces new collagen and elastin. Dr. Miller offers:
Ultherapy® — Ultrasound energy heats the collagen layers of your skin to tighten and firm your neck, jawline, face, and brow
Neck-Tite™ — Neck-Tite uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to melt and vacuum away excess fat around your chin and neck to firm and tighten your skin, permanently removing a “turkey neck”
You can combine both Ultherapy and Neck-Tite with elements of a liquid facelift for a more dramatic and instant effect.
Do you want to wow them with the best possible results?
Despite the advantages of anti-aging technologies, if you want the most dramatic, long-lasting rejuvenation possible,nothing can rival a beautifully performed surgical facelift. Dr. Miller performs a deep-plane lift that not only repositions and lifts up your skin, but also the underlyingsuperficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer for superior, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking results. Using mini liposuction, he removes any excess fat from your lower face and chin, which causes jowls and drooping. Choose from:
Full facelift — entire lower face and neck area tighten, lifted, and recontoured
Mini lift — Only lower face and jowls lifted and tightened
Micro lift— this slight, skin-only lift mimics the rejuvenating effects and lift of wearing your hair in a tight ponytail
Depending on your needs, Dr. Miller also performs a neck lift, in which he tightens and lifts the neck’s platysma muscle. In most cases, he recommends fat grafting, which removes unwanted fat from an area where you don’t want it (such as your tummy or legs) and injects it into your cheeks, where it integrates with your tissues to create long-lasting volume. You might also benefit from a:
You won’t see your full results for 2-3 months and may be slightly uncomfortable or a little self-conscious as your facelift heals. You’ll also have slight scars behind your ears. However, Dr. Miller always makes sure to hide the scars in the creases of your skin. You can also later get laser treatments to minimize their appearance.
Your facelift lasts for at least 10 years. That means, even if you don’t do another thing to your face — other than using medical-grade skincare and getting regular chemical peels — you’ll look younger than your peers for a decade or more. So, although the initial investment is larger, you save money and time in the long run. To learn more about facelift, visit medlineplus.gov

You thought you knew everything about facial plastic surgery and cutting-edge aesthetic procedures. And maybe you do! But if you don’t, the following are a few of the lesser-known surgical aesthetic enhancements that I perform for women and men who want to boost their physical appearance as well as their self-confidence. As a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon in New York City who also trained as an artist, my goal is to make you look like the very best version of yourself and increase your Aesthetic Confidence®:
The entire outpatient buccal fat removal surgery only takes about an hour and can be done under general or local anesthesia. During this procedure, I make a small incision inside both cheeks, so you won’t have a visible scar. With care and precision, I sculpt away excess fat to create cheeks that are lean and beautifully contoured.
The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures. You can return to work or regular activities as soon as the next day. To learn more about buccal fat removal, visit ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Looking to achieve a strong jawline through a cosmetic procedure has become so popular that according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, general plastic surgeries are on the rise. But my patented G.I. Jaw procedure is more than simply inserting a medical-grade jaw implant or building the jaw non-surgically with long-lasting dermal fillers. I may also recommend other changes to create a more masculine appearance, which keeps your new jawline in harmony with your other features. Recommendations may include:
Dermal fillers to build volume in cheekbones and mid-face
My aim is to create improvements that convey more strength and masculinity, while still looking natural and like yourself.
Inserting medical-grade implants is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia. You may experience some swelling or discomfort afterward. Generally, most men don’t have discomfort following a nonsurgical G.I. Jaw procedure performed with dermal fillers.
Using specialized tools, I insert a high-tech, air-powered micro-rasp into the incision and gently reshape your nasal bone and cartilage, sculpting away humps and bumps. The end result is a nose that’s straighter, more aesthetically pleasing, and in better harmony with the rest of your facial features.
Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which is performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours, micro-rhinoplasty is done in my Manhattan office under local anesthesia. The entire procedure only takes about 5-15 minutes.
Your recovery time is also cut down. You’re swollen for a few days after your procedure but can return to most of your normal (non-strenuous) activities within 1-2 days.

In addition to adorable puppy ears, floral headpieces, and new pairs of sunglasses to try on, Snapchat also offers face-perfecting filters that instantly smooth out your skin and give you bigger eyes, a smaller nose, and a thinner face. While it may seem all fun and games at first, teenagers can become obsessed with their filtered selfies and may go to great, social media-approved lengths to be able to “Facetune” their faces in real life, with the help of a cosmetic surgeon. Those who choose to undergo plastic surgery in New York City to look like their pixel-perfect selfies may be suffering from an underlying mental health condition called Snapchat Dysmorphia.
What Is Snapchat Dysmorphia?
Social media platforms like Snapchat and Instagram and photo-editing apps like Facetune are contributing to a dangerous trend where people are feeling insecure about not looking as beautiful and flawless as their own filtered selves that have garnered ego-boosting hearts and “likes” from their followers.
Dubbed as “Snapchat Dysmorphia” by a group of dermatologists at Boston University, this new phenomenon has patients seeking out cosmetic surgeries in an attempt to look identical with the filtered versions of themselves –with a thinner nose, bigger eyes, and fuller lips. The paper which was published in the JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Viewpoint also mentions how Snapchat Dysmorphia is a new twist on the condition known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder in which people have an excessive preoccupation with their perceived flaws. What is happening right now is a significant rise in “selfie” surgery requests and instead of patients bringing in photos of celebrities who possess their ideal nose or face shape, they are now presenting highly-edited selfies fit for an airbrushed cover of a glossy magazine. “This is an alarming trend because those filtered selfies often present an unattainable look and are blurring the line of reality and fantasy for these patients,” the paper read.
Social media, it seems, is shaping our concept of beauty and is putting the spotlight on our flaws as we attempt to achieve physical perfection offline. No matter how advanced and innovative the techniques in plastic surgery are today, attempting to measure up to your altered images can be unrealistic, unattainable, and unhealthy. This is why it is important that you consult with a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Philip Miller. Dr. Miller and his team can help you achieve healthy aesthetic changes that can highlight your natural, unfiltered beauty.
No Filter Needed
Dr. Miller and his New York team can help you healthily achieve your aesthetic goals. His expertise ensures you will have a natural and refreshed look, not just what you see in altered and heavily filter pictures.
Some of the best available treatments today don’t even need a scalpel and can be done in a lunch hour with minimal downtime. And what is brilliant about these non-surgical procedures is that you will still look like yourself –just fresher, younger, and more radiant with glowing skin, a sharper nose, and a taut jawline. These are the non-surgical face and skin-transforming treatments that can be performed by Dr. Miller:
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Also referred to as a liquid rhinoplasty, a non-surgical nose job allows the surgeon to subtly alter the nose’s size, shape, position of the nasal tip, as well as straighten the nose and hide bumps through the use of injectable fillers.
A non-surgical nose job is a pain-free alternative to surgical procedures for correcting undesirable nasal characteristics. And since injectable fillers are used, the results are immediate. In addition, if you are unsatisfied with the results, the fillers can be dissolved within 24 hours. Non-surgical rhinoplasty has no long-term effects, making you a potential candidate for a traditional rhinoplasty in the future should you still desire to undergo the procedure. A MicroRhinoplasty™ is a less invasive alternative to a traditional rhinoplasty as well.
Dr. Miller is considered one of the country’s leading experts in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation and has even lectured on innovative rhinoplasty techniques as well as written chapters for rhinoplasty textbooks.
Botox
Those who want to look more youthful by smoothing their fine lines and wrinkles are good candidates for Botox injections. FDA-approved to treat crow’s feet and frown lines, Botox works by blocking nerve impulses to the facial muscles, causing dynamic wrinkles to soften and relax. Skin will appear smoother and less wrinkled, giving you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Dermal Fillers
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Miller is recognized as an expert in facial rejuvenation procedures, including filler injections. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a natural substance within the skin that’s responsible for keeping the skin supple and hydrated while adding volume. We lose HA as we age, resulting in skin’s lack of moisture, strength, and volume. When injected into the skin (cheeks, around the eyes and mouth area, chin, or lips), fillers will replace lost volume to plump and contour the face. Examples of dermal fillers include Juvéderm and its products (Voluma, Ultra, Ultra Plus, and Volbella), Restylane, and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite).
Dermal fillers combined with Botox can work wonders in rejuvenating the face. They create a powerful anti-aging treatment that gives the face a natural lift as they relax and fill in those lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas while redefining the contours of the face.
Treatments For Skin Resurfacing and Tightening
Laser, light, and energy devices can help address signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation through short and direct pulsating beams of light that create heat points or micro-injuries in various depths of the skin, triggering the skin’s natural healing process. Skin becomes smoother, tighter, and clearer, with improved tone and texture. Examples of treatments include:
CO2 Resurfacing Laser Treatment – creates microscopic treatment areas where shafts of intense light penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. During the healing process, old, damaged skin is replaced with new skin that is smoother, tighter, and more radiant. The laser effectively treats acne scars, blotchy skin, deeper wrinkles, and scars from surgery or trauma.
Ultherapy – Dr. Miller is among the first in New York City to offer the Ultherapy treatment for toning and lifting loose, lax skin without any downtime. It uses safe ultrasound energy to trigger collagen production, resulting in tighter skin and a more youthful, contoured appearance on the brow, chin, and neck.
Fractora & Fractora Firm – Fractora utilizes fractional radiofrequency technology to resurface the skin, effectively correcting common skin concerns such as fine lines and deep wrinkles, redness, brown spots, visible blood vessels, and poor skin texture. On the other hand, Fractora Firm is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses thermal energy to deeply heat beneath the skin, stimulating collagen formation which results in tighter, more youthful, and glowing skin.

Your “chipmunk cheeks” were adorable when you were five, but now you want a sophisticated, sleek look that matches your personality and your level of achievement. By removing excess buccal (i.e. cheek) fat and tissue, I create a slender lower face that emphasizes and dramatizes your cheekbones.
