Neck Rejuvenation
The neck is one of the first areas to show age. This is evidenced by skin laxity and fat accumulation in the area under the chin. Thankfully this is one of the simplest areas to treat.
Neck Rejuvenation Procedures by Maryland’s Experts
Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jared Mallalieu can perform a wide range of procedures to help correct sagging skin and remove the unwanted fat.
Neck Tightening and Lifting Options
Allura for neck contouring combines liposuction removal of fat with laser skin tightening. The procedure takes less than 45 minutes and can be done with a local anesthetic. Patients can return to work the same day as treatment!
Patients with more isolated laxity, Dr. Mallalieu can use the ThermiTight radiofrequency device to tighten sagging skin on the neck and jowl. This procedure tightens skin through tiny incisions closed with a single stitch!
For those who need more substantial contouring, Dr. Mallalieu can lift the face and neck with a mini-face lift or neck lift. These procedures are done in the comfort of our office operating room using light sedation. Many male patients choose the anterior neck lift (cervicoplasty) which does NOT require general anesthesia and provides a fantastic improvement in neck contour. It too can be done with local anesthesia. All of our procedures include two complimentary laser treatments to help minimize any post-procedure scarring. To find out which option is right for you, please get in touch with us to schedule your free consultation.
