Understanding Neck Lift Procedures in Fairfield County

The neck contains some of the most delicate and sensitive skin on the human body. It's also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. The skin around the neck and jawline can become slack, resulting in a "wattle" that can be difficult to remove even with proper exercise, diet, and skin care.

Comprehensive Neck Rejuvenation Techniques

Dr. Mahony's neck lift procedure offers comprehensive skin tightening and muscle repositioning, addressing multiple signs of aging:

• Tightens neck skin and underlying muscles
• Repositions loose skin folds
• Improves neck and jawline contours

Customized Procedural Approach

Neck lift surgery can be customized and often combined with complementary procedures such as:

• Liposuction for neck and jaw region
• Threadlifts for mid-face rejuvenation
• Eyelid surgery
• Comprehensive face lift

Preparing for Your Neck Lift

Dr. Mahony recommends preparing for neck lift surgery with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) procedures. These treatments stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and promote elastin fiber repair in the deepest layers of neck and facial skin.
