At The Spiegel Center, we’re used to seeing our patients’ excitement when they see their results for the first time. But recently, one of our neck lift cases caught the attention of another kind of “viewer” — ChatGPT.

When we submitted before-and-after photos of a neck lift performed by Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel for review, ChatGPT awarded it an impressive 9.3 out of 10. In the world of aesthetics, that’s a score worth celebrating. And according to ChatGPT, the only reason it wasn’t a perfect 10 was simple: in surgical artistry, nothing can truly be called “perfect.”

Why This Neck Lift Stood Out

The neck is often one of the most telling areas when it comes to aging. Even if the rest of the face looks refreshed, loose skin under the chin, vertical bands, and a soft jawline can add years. Addressing these concerns takes more than just tightening skin — it requires reshaping underlying structures, refining contours, and creating natural proportions that blend seamlessly with the rest of the face.

In this case, the patient’s transformation was dramatic yet subtle.

  • The jawline became more defined and youthful.
  • The under-chin area appeared smooth and refined.
  • The neck contour looked elegant and balanced without a hint of being “overdone.”

It’s the kind of improvement that patients from Boston, Newton, across the U.S., and even internationally seek when they travel to The Spiegel Center for facial rejuvenation.

The 9.3/10 Score — and Why That Matters

When ChatGPT reviewed the before-and-after images, it praised the case for its symmetry, contour, and natural finish. The 9.3 out of 10 rating wasn’t because something was missing — but because in aesthetic medicine, “perfect” doesn’t exist. Every patient’s anatomy is unique, and the goal isn’t to erase individuality, but to enhance it.

In ChatGPT’s assessment, this neck lift represented the gold standard in surgical balance: a result that looks fresh and youthful, yet completely authentic.

Before-and-After Highlights

Front View:
Before surgery, the patient’s jawline was softened, and there was visible laxity under the chin. After surgery, the jawline was sharper, the neck appeared lifted, and the under-chin area was smooth. The skin looked firm and healthy, without any signs of excessive tightening.

Side View:
From the profile, the difference was even more striking. The cervicomental angle — the contour where the chin meets the neck — became crisp and youthful. Any skin redundancy along the neck was addressed, creating an elegant slope and a balanced profile.

Why Patients Choose The Spiegel Center for Neck Lifts

Patients come to us from all over the world for one reason: results that look amazing in real life, not just in photos.

Dr. Spiegel’s neck lift technique is designed to be both natural and long-lasting:

  • Deep structural support: Tightening the platysma muscle for stability that lasts for years.
  • Refined contouring: Sculpting and repositioning fat to enhance definition.
  • Precision skin redraping: Achieving a smooth finish without tension for a youthful, relaxed appearance.

This combination means the improvements aren’t just visible — they feel like a natural part of the patient’s features.

A Transformation Worth Noticing

What made ChatGPT’s rating even more exciting for us is that it confirmed what we hear from our patients every day — that the best results are the ones that don’t look “done.”

When friends and family see you after surgery and tell you that you look refreshed, well-rested, or more vibrant — without knowing exactly why — that’s when we know the procedure was a success. This patient’s result is the kind that turns heads quietly, earning admiration without revealing the secret.

The Takeaway

A 9.3/10 from ChatGPT is more than just a number — it’s an acknowledgment of the surgical skill, artistic judgment, and attention to detail that Dr. Spiegel brings to every procedure. The score reflects a transformation that is youthful, harmonious, and true to the patient’s natural beauty.
