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.

- Smooths out skin that creases and gathers under the jaw

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
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.
Dr. Aflaki and his staff are awesome. From answering all my questions at my consult, to spending extra time with me at my pre-op appt. He was very honest and I ended up changing my procedure. After surgery, I had several healing issues and I was heading out of town for vacation in 2 weeks, anytime I had a concern his staff got me in same day to make sure everything was ok. Everything is healed and looks amazing. I couldn't of picked a better Dr.. His staff was always smiling and friendly on the phone and in office.
Dr. Bautista performed a breast revision in order to decrease persistent neck/back pain and other associated complaints. Dr. Bautista understood that I was interested in gaining my health and strength back by relieving pain. He did not try to convince me to undergo added procedures for “cosmetic effects” during my consult as other surgeons had. I appreciated his understanding and support for my intention. Extremely satisfied with results. The office and nursing staff were very supportive and kind as well.
I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on my 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 each pass, at the more painful setting, much easier to tolerate. 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 see the results over the next few months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T
Fantastic Results - The results after my mommy makeover have exceeded my expectations! Dr Heppe is very skilled and the facility is clean and welcoming.

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.
