Dr. Miller, Kelly, and his entire staff was the BEST discovery I ever found in New York (and I’ve been living here for 10 years)! Seriously, words can’t even describe how thankful I am for finding Dr. Miller and his team.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Miller’s for over a year now and I’m truly blessed and lucky to be considered a member of the family! Please go and schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Miller, you won’t be let down I can 100% ensure you!

Nicole Clonan

Dr Miller is one of the most caring physicians I’ve met. My surgery (rhinoplasty revision #2 due to injury) was extremely complicated, but Dr Miller was able to give me an excellent result. My breathing has improved to such an extent that it’s been almost life changing. I will always be grateful to Dr Miller and his caring staff for helping to improve my health.

Michele Manuel

I highly recommend Dr Miller. He performed a revision rhinoplasty three months ago, and I’m so pleased with the results. I had no pain after the surgery and minor swelling. My breathing has vastly improved and my nose is very straight. I can’t imagine getting a better result from another surgeon. Dr Miller’s staff is also wonderful.

Dr. Miller is AMAZING! He takes the time to listen to the patients needs and concerns, has great bedside manner and really cares. I would recommend him 100%. As an out of town patient the Skype calls were super helpful and when visiting New York, his office is always happy to see you and fit you in for a visit.

What is a lower facelift?

A lower facelift is a procedure that rejuvenates everything below the corners of the mouth, lifting and tightening the face’s underlying structures that have weakened with age. It removes excess loose skin to smooth deep wrinkles, refine the jawline, and eliminate jowls.

Can a lower facelift be combined with a neck lift?

You can combine a lower facelift with a neck lift to achieve the best results. It is rare for surgeons to do a lower facelift without a neck lift.

The platysma muscle covers the neck and extends to the lower face. This broad sheet of muscle sags over time, and tightening it as one unit provides a more balanced and comprehensive result. A neck lift smooths sagging neck skin, removes excess fat to eliminate a double chin, and corrects a “turkey neck.” Addressing these signs of aging with a lower facelift and neck lift gives the entire neck and jawline a more youthful appearance.

How much does a lower facelift in New York City cost?

A lower facelift procedure in New York City costs about $6,000 to $8,000, but the price can vary depending on your surgeon’s experience, the severity of your skin laxity, and other factors.

*Prices reflect the average cost of the procedure in the area. For an actual quote, please contact Dr. Miller directly.

What does a lower facelift involve?

Dr. Miller performs the lower facelift in his in-office surgical suite and can often complete the procedure in less than 90 minutes using local anesthesia.  

Dr. Miller makes a small incision near the ear to allow access to the tissues and muscles underneath the skin. He lifts and pulls underlying tissues while removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles to restore a smoother, fresher, and more youthful appearance.

Who is a candidate for a lower facelift?

Results from a lower facelift can last for up to 10 years or more.
