Dr. Yousefi offers neck lift surgery for patients in Washington, DC, Vienna, Arlington and surrounding areas of Northern Virginia.
Is your neck overly full and out of proportion to your face? Have you lost weight only to find sagging skin in your neck? The Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) is a family of treatments that can address problems with the fat, muscle and skin of your neck and jaw line, such as a fleshy neck "jowls", plastysma or neck "bands", and that "turkey waddle" or double chin.
How is a Neck Lift in Vienna Performed?
The neck lift procedure is designed for people who have excess fat around the neck, but have good skin tone and are not yet ready for a full face-neck lift. This operation includes liposuction of the neck, manual removal of fat underneath the muscles and tightening of the neck muscles under the chin. Excess skin cannot be removed with this procedure. If excess skin is the problem then a face-neck lift should be done.
Dr. Yousefi begins with a one-inch incision just under the chin so the skin can be elevated off of the fat and muscle. Then, liposuction is used to remove some of the fat down to the muscle. Once the fat is removed, the muscles are tightened and any neck cords are released.
