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?

- 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

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Procedure changed my life - Dr Heppe transferred body fat into my aging hands. He made sure I wasn’t in any pain, did it expediently and recovery was easy. I’m one hundred percent satisfied. I no longer feel the need to hide my “ugly old hand”. I am now feeling confident and free. Great job Dr. Heppe! Thank you.
My experience with Dr. Aflaki and everyone at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg has been nothing short of amazing! From consultation to post-operative follow-ups, I have been in the very best hands. I am extremely pleased with my healing, recovery and results! Thank you, Dr. Aflaki, for changing my life!
Amazing results - I look better than I ever have in my life - Dr Aflaki is a magician. I am so happy with my results . I was back to work in 2 weeks after TT and arm lift. Zero pain after 2 days. The scars are almost gone. I look better than i ever have in my life!
I had my breast augmentation back in May 2024. I am so happy with Dr. Aflaki and the work that he has done. I am close to 4 months post op and am absolutely in love with them. I was so scared to get it done because of all the horror stories I have heard from peers of them getting this procedure done at other places. But this is something I have always dreamed of and when I came in for my consultation I was greeted so warmly from the front desk ladies and the nurse that attended me that day Nurse Jamie was so reassuring and nice. After meeting the Dr I realized that this is an office I could trust. The healing process was smooth, I understand every case is different. For me I wasn't continuously bleeding as I heard that is something a lot of people go through. If I were to do it again I would.
My wife had a procedure done over a decade ago that she has been very happy with. As well, we really appreciated the demeanor and the way the doctor works, no pressure, no false promises. She just had a procedure done about a week ago that was significantly more invasive than her first one. We drove back to Fredericksburg from New England because of the trust and relationship that had developed with Dr. Batista's practice. She had many options in New England but the relationships were not there and the demeanor of the practices were far more aggressive in pushing products. She has a healing process ahead but I think she will be very pleased with the outcome and I'm sure we will return if she wants any other procedures.

Neck Lift FAQ
How much does a neck lift cost?

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.
