Neck Lift
A refined, individualized approach to neck lift, designed to enhance your natural features with results that look and feel like you.
Overview
What is Neck Lift?
A neck lift tightens loose skin and muscle bands beneath the chin and along the neck, refining a “turkey neck” or heavy jawline. It creates a smoother, more defined neck and jaw contour.
Dr. Leppard’s approach prioritizes results that are refined, balanced, and true to each patient’s natural features. During your consultation he takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then explains every option, tradeoff, and realistic outcome so you can make an informed decision.
To learn whether neck lift is right for you, the best next step is a personal consultation.
