Neck Lift Fredericksburg, VA | Dr. Howard P. Heppe, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg perform neck lift surgery to reduce the appearance of an aging neckline. This facial procedure targets loose skin under the chin, eliminating the "turkey neck" or "double chin" appearance by removing excess skin and fat while creating a softer, more defined neckline.

Neck Lift Surgical Procedure

During the treatment, anesthesia ensures patient comfort. Surgeons strategically place minimal incisions near the ears and under the chin. The procedure typically involves:

• Liposuction to remove excess neck fat
• Careful excision of sagging skin
• Precise skin tightening to achieve desired contour
• Optional complementary treatments like KYBELLA® or laser resurfacing
