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

A defined jawline can be an attractive indication of youth, beauty, fitness, and vitality, and this is what facial slimming procedures are all about. Dr. Philip Miller is a highly regarded double-board certified facial plastic surgeon and artist who offers world-class rejuvenation in New York City.
How To Get A Skinnier Face?
These are the face slimming procedures that Dr. Miller can combine for optimal facial slimming:
Botox for jaw reduction
Buccal fat removal
G.I. Jaw
Fillers
Chin implants.
Botox For Jaw Reduction
That same injectable known worldwide for effectively diminishing lines and wrinkles around the face and neck can help you get a sharper jawline without surgery. Botox works by temporarily relaxing overactive facial muscles and for a slimming effect, can be injected into the masseter muscle.
The masseter muscle is a powerful muscle that’s wrapped around the jaw bone and whose primary function is to open and close the jaw while you speak or eat. When this muscle enlarges (usually caused by unconscious clenching or grinding of the jaw), the shape of the face changes as well. For women, an enlarged masseter presents the issue of looking more masculine (because of a squared jaw), instead of a feminine (oval) appearance.
When injected into the masseter muscle, Botox relaxes it, causing the muscle to return to a normal shape and size over time. Facial width is reduced and thereby softening and enhancing the appearance of the lower face, and slimming your overall facial structure into a more attractive heart shape.
Whether it’s because of genetics or weight gain, round, chubby cheeks may take away from the beauty of a well-balanced facial silhouette. If you’re looking to get a slimmer face, buccal fat removal surgery is your choice. Buccal fat pads lie within your cheeks and with increasing age, you will tend to lose the fat underneath the skin of your face. However, buccal fat pads remain the same size and do not respond to diet and exercise, resulting in a bottom-heavy or square-shaped face.
Dr. Miller can perform a surgical procedure designed to reduce fullness in the lower cheek by removing the fat pads themselves. In a buccal fat removal procedure, fat pads are removed through small incisions (2-4 cm) inside the mouth, between the cheek and gums. Once removed, the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures. This face reduction surgery can provide slimmer, smoother cheeks, resulting in a more sculpted, symmetrical, and youthful-looking appearance. To learn more about buccal fat removal, visit ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
A sharp jawline and a square chin are common indicators of masculinity, often signaling strength, vitality, and attractiveness. Diet and exercise, however, rarely help sculpt the face shape you want.
Dr. Miller invented the G.I. Jaw procedure as a non-surgical approach to enhancing your features by outlining your jawline, augmenting your existing facial structures, and supplementing areas of the face, helping you achieve a more chiseled appearance. By using facial injectables, Kybella, liposuction, Neck-Tite, or implants (or a combination of these treatments), Dr. Miller can help you achieve facial symmetry, a strong, muscular jaw, a square chin, and sharp, well-defined cheekbones.
Have you noticed that your once well-defined jawline is slowly changing? That’s because we all lose volume in our faces as we age. And as we lose fat, folds and creases become more pronounced. To fix these issues, we need to restore that volume. Using fillers to achieve a slimmer face does sound contradictory, but in order to look younger and rejuvenated, adding volume to your jawline could be your best anti-aging and slimming solution. By injecting fillers such as Juvederm directly into the jawline, your mandible and the edge of your bony angle are instantly enhanced, giving you a healthier, firmer, and younger-looking appearance.
By correcting a small or weak chin, facial features such as the nose and cheeks are enhanced, giving your face more aesthetic balance. Typically, surgery will involve making a small incision along the crease below the chin, followed by the placement of an implant around your existing chin bone. This procedure will augment the size and shape of your chin, resulting in a more attractive balance between your facial features.

One of the questions that Dr. Philip Miller, a board certified plastic surgeon from NYC, hears quite often from his Rhinoplasty candidates is how long the procedure takes.
Well, like all other invasive surgical procedures, questions and answers of this nature depends on multiple factors.
First, you must realize that all surgical procedures differ in multiple ways. There are a large variety of Rhinoplasty procedures that require different tools, techniques, etc. Along with this, the severity of each case varies from person to person.
You must take into consideration what the patient wants to have done. Is this a procedure for a more attractive nose or is this a more serious case where breathing is impaired or there are other health risks involved? This can change the type of procedure the doctor will perform and the severity of the techniques.
Depending on the individual, the duration of the procedure will have much to do with what the client wants and needs. Rhinoplasty’s can take as little as 10 minutes and can last upwards of several hours.
Also, the surgeon performing the procedure should be taken into consideration along with their experience and expertise. A well-seasoned specialist can do upward of 9 surgeries in any given week. Typically, these procedures may take less time to complete as those whom have been performing these surgeries for quite some time tend to develop a routine way of completing the Rhinoplasty surgery. They have their technique down to an art and their skills are more refined. If the surgeon is younger and newer to the field, their lack of experience and expertise tend to make the surgical process last longer.
For more information on the duration of the Rhinoplasty procedure, watch the video below.

When you are recovering, post-surgical rhinoplasty, it is a normal and natural reaction for there to appear to be slight swelling. An individual who has underwent said procedure will notice this immediately once the bandages are removed. The nasal bones tend to want to drift outward after the compression releases the restriction.
For this reason, it is extremely important to understand the techniques behind nasal exercises otherwise because of soft tissue memory shifting of the nasal bones may occur.
What are Nasal Exercises exactly?
Nasal exercises, also known as ‘digital’ exercises, refer to a postoperative instruction that involves massaging the nasal bones after rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty surgery. Nasal exercises would only be recommended in rhinoplasty patients where the nasal bones were ‘broken’ during the nose reshaping process. This is also referred to as an osteotomy when the nasal bone is repositioned or narrowed or both. This is commonly performed after a large hump deformity has been corrected and in cases where the nose is crooked. An osteotomy is also frequently done simply to narrow a wide nose during cosmetic rhinoplasty. Nasal exercises are done to help further contour the nose during the rhinoplasty recovery process. Whenever the nasal bone is reshaped as part of a rhinoplasty surgery, a nasal cast is placed to keep the bones in their new position. The nasal cast is usually removed in 5-6 days. In a majority of cases, the nasal bones are fairly well positioned in their new location. However, because the bones were completely cut and moved, they are also still mobile at 5-6 days out from surgery. Once the cast is removed, the nasal bones have the potential to move or drift out of the desired position. If they do so, they will typically trend toward moving back to their original position. And this movement or drifting can occur any time between cast removal and 6-8 weeks out from surgery. Why 6-8 weeks? Because this is the average amount of time it takes before the nasal bone fuses and heals in its new position.
Nasal exercises allow the surgeon to digitally manipulate the healing of the nasal bones, shift displaced grafts and increase the resorption rate of surgical edema in specific areas. Nasal exercises involve application of digital pressure over a specific location to improve nasal contour. The patient will press on the area of the deformity for one minute twenty to thirty times per day. It is crucial that the patient understands to press in the exact location with the appropriate amount of force. The exercises are generally well tolerated but should be done to the point of slight discomfort.
The Benefits of Nasal Exercises include:
The massive advantage of doing nasal exercises following rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty is that an individual can truly optimize the surgical results and achieve the best possible outcome.
This video by Dr. Philip Miller shows how to keep the nasal bones narrowed after rhinoplasty and to facilitate the reduction of swelling.
Rhinoplasty, more simply referred to as a nose job, is a nose surgery procedure that by now, we have all heard of. But, other than the fact that rhinoplasty is performed to change or repair the shape and structure of the nose, how much else do we really know? Probably not so much!
If you’re looking into rhinoplasty (or just curious about it), here are the top five interesting facts about it you should know:
1.The first rhinoplasty was performed over 2000 years ago.
The Sushruta samhita by Sushuruta is a medical book that was written in India around 5000 BCE that describes the techniques of rhinoplasty still used today. The techniques were used to restructure noses that had been cut off in battle or otherwise damaged.
Plus, even older then the Sushruta samhita is a papyrus from Egypt, the Ebers papyrus, that gave details on rhinoplasty for restoring a nose that had been cut off as punishment for a crime – apparently a common punishment in that culture.
The discovery of Indian rhinoplasty techniques, and later the Ebers papyrus, brought rhinoplasty to England in the 18th and 19th centuries.
2. Rhinoplasty uses other parts of the body.
Many people assume plastic surgery such as rhinoplasty uses implants to change the shape of the nose. While there are some times when implants are used, it is much more common to take skin or cartilage from other parts of the body and graft it onto the nose.
One common form of rhinoplasty uses skin from the forehead, cut and shaped into what is needed for the nose.
3. Rhinoplasty is much more common than you may think.
In fact, it’s one of the most common forms of cosmetic surgery. In 2007,12 million plastic surgeries were performed in the United States alone. Of these, the top five procedures were breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and abdominoplasty.
And, since 2007, the demand for rhinoplasty has done the opposite of slow down — it’s continued to grow according to ASAPS stats which say that in 2015 alone 145,000 people headed to plastic surgeons for nose surgeries.
4. Technique for men’s and women’s rhinoplasty varies.
You may think a nose job is a nose job, but when it comes to rhinoplasty, it’s almost entirely art. The angle and slope of a man’s nose is different from a woman’s, and many experienced plastic surgeons will choose angles that feminize a woman’s nose.
5. Rhinoplasty surgery is pretty quick!
Believe it or not, the surgery itself only takes 1-2 hours, and that’s not all — recovery doesn’t take too long either. In most cases, patients are only required to wear a small cast for up to five days.
