Neck Lift in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is A Neck Lift?
Are you tired of wearing turtlenecks or scarves the whole year to conceal the loose flaps of skin on your neck? Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki perform neck lift surgery at their Fredericksburg, VA practice to reduce the appearance of an aging neckline. This facial surgery tightens the section under your chin and along the neck to remove the loose skin that creates a "turkey neck" or "double chin." By removing loose skin and fat while introducing a tightening method to produce a softer neckline, this procedure at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg can provide striking improvements to your profile. Before you call to schedule your initial consultation, read more about surgical neck lifts and the beautiful results they can create.
How is a Neck Lift Performed?
During neck lift treatment, anesthesia is used. An incision is placed just in front or behind your ears, and another might be created beneath your chin. If pockets of fat exist, liposuction of the neck would be the first step in the surgical process. Next, any sagging, loose, or hanging skin will be carefully excised, and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This tightening method is performed until the desired shape and contour have been achieved. Although sutures are placed at the incision area, scars should not be visible since they are located beneath your chin. A nonsurgical fat reduction injection, such as KYBELLA®, may also be used to complement the results. Also, other nonsurgical options can help the skin's texture and surface, such as laser, peel, or IPL treatments, to create a soft and smooth appearance.
What Are the Benefits of a Neck Lift?
Patients in Fredericksburg, VA who may be debating having a neck lift should think about some upsides of this surgery, including:
- Smooths out skin that creases and gathers under the jaw
- Minimally invasive procedure that provides just a trivial amount of scarring
- Quick recovery timeframe that allows you to return to your everyday routine fairly swiftly
- Raise self-assurance and self-confidence in your profile and whole look

This is the first time that I have posted a review for any service, and I feel honored to provide feedback for this facility, and most specifically for my surgeon, Dr. Howard Heppe. He is absolutely extraordinary. His willingness to listen, and provide advice and guidance was deeply appreciated. He is a master at his art, a brilliant surgeon who literally changed my life. He performed a breast lift, tummy tuck, and a procedure on my eyes which removed lifelong bags and dark circles from my face. Amazing. The support staff and nurses were exceptional, cheerful, kind, and emotionally supportive. I am truly grateful for all of their extreme care and attentiveness. Again, Dr. Heppe is in a league of his own. His ability to craft and mold and enhance the human body is so impressive and he exceeded all of my expectations.

I am so pleased to share my enormous respect and admiration for Dr. Heppe and every one of the staff members at this medical facility. I was there to care for my friend having surgery. Not only was she treated compassionately and professionally during the entire experience, I was surprised that I, too, was given the same courtesy as her care partner. The appointments were on time, thorough, and informative. We were prepared with important information and immediate responses to any potential concerns we raised. When my friend experienced a difficulty, Dr. Heppe went beyond all expectations to assist her promptly and appropriately. We were reassured and comforted to know that every patient is treated "as the center of attention." I highly recommend the services of this extraordinary medical facility. We offer our highest gratitude for the way every one on the staff kindly contributed to make this time so amazing.

Am I A Candidate for A Neck Lift?
Men and women desiring neck lift treatment generally have visibly loose skin on the neck. Neck skin that hangs is usually caused by numerous factors including aging and significant weight loss. Whatever the reason may be, hanging neck skin causes an unflattering look, which in most cases can only be corrected with skin removal and tightening. If you are at a healthy weight but you feel frustrated by lines, wrinkles, and hanging skin along the neck, a neck lift cosmetic surgery treatment may be a great option.

How much does a neck lift cost?
The cost of your neck lift can be reviewed during your consultation with our specialists.

To make your neck surgery more affordable, our team accepts several payment methods and can provide information on low-interest medical financing.
Will I have visible scars?
Your neck lift will involve an incision beneath the chin and two more near the ears, strategically placed so the scars are difficult to notice. Our specialists take great care during surgery to minimize visible scarring. We will provide scar care instructions to ensure your incisions heal properly, resulting in thin and flat scars.
Can I combine a neck lift with other facial surgeries?
During your consultation, you can discuss whether you're considering additional procedures like a facelift or chin implant along with your neck lift. It's common to combine these surgeries to achieve the best possible results. If you have concerns about an undefined jawline or a weak chin, our team can help create a plan that addresses all your aesthetic goals.
Should I get a neck lift or liposuction?
Depending on your specific concerns and goals, you may benefit from combining a neck lift with surgical liposuction.
