Neck Lift Huntingdon Valley, PA | DiBello Plastic Surgery - Joseph N. DiBello, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to eliminate loose, sagging skin and excess fat in the neck, submental area, and along the jawline. The goal is to achieve a smooth, attractive, and youthful neck contour.

Signs of Neck Aging

Individuals in their forties and fifties often notice visible signs of neck aging, including:

• Weakening platysma muscle creating neck bands
• Reduced jawline definition
• Hanging skin beneath the chin (often called "turkey neck")

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery include women and men who experience:

• Loose or hanging skin beneath the chin
• Stubborn fat deposits in the neck area
• Desire to eliminate double chin appearance

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Dr. DiBello performs neck lift surgery using a customized approach involving three strategic incisions: one behind each ear and one beneath the chin. The procedure may include liposuction to address fat deposits and muscle tightening for optimal results.

Surgical Approach

Depending on individual needs, the neck lift procedure can involve:

• Tumescent liposuction along the jawline
• Muscle tightening (platysmaplasty)
• Skin redraping and excess skin removal

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically return home the same day, with potential overnight hospital stay. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment, managing minor bruising and swelling, and avoiding strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.

Cost Considerations

The average neck lift at DiBello Plastic Surgery is approximately $9,000, which includes surgeon's fees, hospital costs, anesthesia, and prescribed medication. Personalized pricing will be discussed during consultation.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

While non-surgical neck treatments exist, Dr. DiBello recommends surgical neck lift for more natural, long-lasting results that can provide significant aesthetic improvements.
