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
Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Fantastic Results - The results after my mommy makeover have exceeded my expectations! Dr Heppe is very skilled and the facility is clean and welcoming.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing job Dr. Aflaki did with my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mastopexy (breast lift), and lipo 360 procedure in October 2024. His expertise and attention to detail truly made a difference in my journey, I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Aflaki and his team for the exceptional work and support. I will gladly recommend Dr. Aflaki to anyone considering similar procedures. Please follow him on Instagram to see his work.
Dr. Aflaki is the BEST. I wish I had come to him sooner. I recently had a 360 Lipo and BBL done with him and I am SO grateful I went to him. I originally booked with 2 different doctors in Miami but cancelled both after finding out some very horrifying news about what they were doing to women. Something in me told me to just stay in state and do it closer to home. THANK GOD I cancelled with the other doctors and stayed in state. I soon found Doctor Aflaki's office and booked my procedure the same day as my consult with him because my intuition felt REALLY good about him. My spirit was at peace when speaking to him, and it felt right. He is straight to the point and honest. He genuinely cared for me. If I have questions, I ask him directly anytime, and he is always there for me. His staff is also very kind and helpful. Shout out to Nurse Victoria for all the advice she gave me through my recovery! The results I got with Dr. Aflaki are fantastic... I am 7 weeks post-op today, and I am EXTREMELY happy with my results. -Madhu
My experience was excellent! Dr. Aflaki and his team were amazing with anything I needed. I couldn't be more happier with my results. For my next procedure I wont go anywhere else! Looking forward to my next improvement. I can't wait! Thank you Dr. AFlaki for everything!
I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on face with Kristine and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Dr. B prescribed me a prescription to prep as well as a numbing cream for the day of. I arrived one hour earlier than my scheduled time to allow the numbing cream sit and settle. Then I had the Fraxel laser pass over several times and thankfully I had a cooling tube right by me which made the passes at the more painful setting much easier to go through. I’m still in the recovery phase, but it’s not as bad as a chemical peel. I have slight flaking, and it just look like I’m more flushed than usual. Looking forward to the results over the next months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T

Neck Lift FAQ
How much does a neck lift cost?
The cost of your neck lift can be reviewed during your consultation with our specialists. Once we have created your personalized surgical plan, we can estimate the costs for anesthesia, facility fees, and other expenses. 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. This combination can help if you have both loose skin and pockets of fat in the neck. Our specialists will guide you in deciding whether a neck lift, liposuction, or both should be part of your treatment plan.
