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. Other nonsurgical options can help the skin’s texture and surface, such as laser or peel, to create a soft and smooth appearance.

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

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
I’m 5 months post-op from my tummy tuck, with Dr.Aflaki My experience was excellent! I couldn't be more happier with my results. the office staff and nurses were incredibly supportive and answered every call during my recovery. My scars are healing exceptionally well, and I feel much more confident. Highly recommend.
I am currently 4 DPO from an extended brachioplasty and mastaplexy with augmentation. Dr Aflaki is simply amazing. His surgical skill and bedside manner is hands down the best that I have had with any doctor. I will definitely be going back to him for any future work.
After major weight loss, I was left with a “deflated balloon” situation, and Dr. Heppe completely turned that around. Now everything looks perky, natural, and well balanced. It honestly gave me back a sense of confidence and youthfulness I didn’t expect. Perfection really.He’s clearly very skilled, but also just a genuinely warm, easy person to talk to, which made the whole experience feel comfortable from the start.The staff is amazing across the board. Everyone from reception and billing to the nurses to the anesthesiologist were kind, organized, and easy to work with. Scheduling was also really flexible, which made a big difference.Dr. Heppe is truly one of a kind! I’d recommend him and his whole office without hesitation.
My experience was tremendous, very happy with my results, staff are friendly and very professional ,big thanks to Dr. Aflaki one of the best Doctor I ever met.
Dr. Aflaki and his team were hands down the best. They made every part of my process seem less and comfortable.

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.
