Transform your appearance with neck and brow procedures, expertly performed to address sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Dr. Stephen Lu at the Pennsylvania Institute for Plastic Surgery offers neck lifts, neck liposuction, brow lifts, and chin & cheek augmentation, restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial harmony for a rejuvenated, balanced look.
Neck lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens and smooths the skin on your neck, reducing excess fat and loose skin. If you’re noticing sagging or a “turkey waddle” effect, a neck lift can help restore a more youthful, defined neckline. Dr. Lu uses advanced techniques to remove excess fat, tighten the muscles, and lift the skin for a natural, rejuvenated look. This procedure can dramatically improve the contour of your neck, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Neck liposuction
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck. If you’re struggling with a double chin or unwanted neck fat, this procedure can help create a more defined, sculpted neckline. Dr. Lu uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove stubborn fat, leaving you with smoother contours and a more youthful profile. The procedure is relatively quick and offers natural-looking results. Neck liposuction can be an excellent option for enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
Brow lift
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging eyebrows, forehead lines, and wrinkles, helping to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. If you’re noticing drooping brows or deep forehead lines, a brow lift can reposition the brow to a higher, more natural position and smooth out the skin. Dr. Lu uses advanced techniques to achieve subtle yet significant changes, lifting the eyebrows and rejuvenating the upper face. This procedure can help you look more alert, rested, and rejuvenated.
Chin & cheek augmentation
Chin and cheek augmentation enhances the contours of your face by adding volume and definition to the chin and cheeks. If you have a recessed chin or lack fullness in your cheeks, these procedures can help create a more balanced, harmonious appearance. Dr. Lu uses implants or fat transfer techniques to achieve subtle, natural-looking results. Whether you want to enhance facial symmetry or restore volume lost with age, chin and cheek augmentation can provide significant aesthetic improvements and boost your overall facial profile.
Neck & brow procedures FAQs
What is the recovery like after a neck lift?
After a neck lift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these typically subside within a few weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Lu will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. You may need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your neck during recovery.
How long do the results of a neck lift last?
A neck lift offers long-lasting results, typically lasting anywhere from 10 to 15 years. However, factors such as aging, lifestyle, and genetics can influence how long the results will last. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper skincare, hydration, and sun protection can help preserve the results of your neck lift for as long as possible.
Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine a brow lift with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a facelift, for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and provide a more balanced, refreshed look. Dr. Lu will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and needs.
How soon can I return to work after a brow lift?
Most patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days after a brow lift, depending on the extent of the procedure and how well they’re healing. If your work is physically demanding, you may need to take additional time off. Dr. Lu will provide guidance based on your recovery progress, ensuring you feel confident in your ability to return to your routine.
Are there non-surgical options for brow lifting?
Yes, non-surgical brow lifting options include injectables like Botox or Dysport. These can temporarily lift the brows and smooth out forehead lines without surgery. While the results are not as dramatic or long-lasting as a surgical brow lift, they offer a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime for those with early signs of aging. Dr. Lu can discuss whether non-surgical treatments are right for you during your consultation.
Will a chin and cheek augmentation look natural?
Yes, chin and cheek augmentations can enhance your natural facial features. Dr. Lu uses advanced techniques, including implants or fat transfer, to ensure the results complement your unique facial structure and anatomy. The goal is to create a subtle, balanced look that enhances your overall facial harmony without appearing overdone.
