Is Your Smart Phone giving you ‘Tech Neck’?
by Dr. Lucie Capek, Board-Certified New York-Based Plastic Surgeon
Did you know that consistently staring down at your cellphone may be causing an increase in neck wrinkles? It’s called ‘Tech Neck’ and cellphones are not the only culprit. Any electronics that keep your attention pointed down, weaken the front neck muscles and crease the neck skin, which are already thin and prone to sun damage. Many doctors are seeing patients under 40 with sagging or wrinkled neck skin. Since we all need our electronic devices, what can we do to prevent this?
Sun Prevention
All skin should be sun protected but don’t forget your neck and décolleté areas, which are often overlooked and prone to sunburn.
Straighten Up
Make a concerted effort to hold your phone at eye level for good posture.
Take a Break!
Make sure to look up and away from electronic devices throughout the day. Doing this will save you from neck problems, vision problems and the dreaded ‘Tech Neck’.

MedSpa - @capekmedspa![For years, this patient envisioned breast augmentation but wanted to be sure her results would feel balanced, natural, and true to her body goals. 🌸 When she was ready, we created a treatment plan that reflected exactly that.
Today, more patients are choosing naturally proportioned implants that enhance their figure without looking overdone. The goal isn't simply a larger cup size. It's creating beautiful balance, soft contours, and results that complement your unique frame. 🤍 Every breast augmentation is customized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
If you've been considering a breast augmentation, I'd love to help you explore your options. 😊 Tap the link in my bio or give my office a call to schedule your consultation.
