Neck Lift

As we grow older, the natural loss of skin elasticity and the effects of gravity combine to take their toll on the neck. For some, genetics cause a predisposition toward excess skin or fat in the neck area. The result can be lax skin that obscures the contour of the chin and jaw line.

Our plastic surgery practice in Virginia performs neck lift surgery as a remedy for the jowls, excessive sagging, and creasing of the neck that can make you look older or heavier. The surgery involves trimming away excess skin and fat to create a smoother, tighter, and more attractive neck area.

Your Neck Lift Procedure

Dr. Andrew Goldberg and Dr. Mitchel Krieger typically perform neck lift surgery at their on-site surgery center under general anesthesia, or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure usually involves the removal of excess skin, the tightening of lax muscles, and in some cases, liposuction for the removal of fat deposits. They will take into consideration factors such as your age, your skin tone, the amount of fat and excess skin in your neck, and other signs of aging in your facial features before deciding on the best way to perform your neck lift.

Sometimes when we perform a neck lift in Fairfax, Virginia, face lift surgery may be done at the same time for an even more effective rejuvenation of the entire lower face and neck area. Depending on whether the procedure is performed alone or in conjunction with other procedures, neck lift surgery usually takes approximately 2 to 3 hours.

The best way to determine whether a neck lift procedure is right for you is through a personalized consultation with the professionals at our cosmetic surgery practice.
