Neck Lift Tallahassee, FL | Ben Kirbo, MD

Understanding the Neck Lift Procedure

The neck lift surgical procedure addresses age-related changes in neck appearance by targeting loose skin, weakened muscles, and excess fat. Southeastern Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive neck rejuvenation for patients throughout the Florida Panhandle region, including areas like Destin, Dothan, and surrounding communities.

Neck Aging Characteristics

Aging of the neck typically results in three primary concerns:

• Loose, sagging skin
• Weakened neck muscles
• Excess subcutaneous fat deposits

Procedure Details

A neck lift can be performed independently or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures like a facelift. The surgical process may involve muscle tightening, skin removal, and strategic fat reduction to restore a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
