Dr. Robert Kearney is a double-board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego, with advanced training from Vanderbilt University and a fellowship in craniofacial surgery under the internationally renowned surgeon Dr. S.A. Wolfe. With a focus on cosmetic surgery of the face and neck, Dr. Kearney combines surgical precision with the latest techniques—such as neck lift and liposuction—to help patients achieve natural-looking, youthful contours.
Why Combine a Neck Lift with Liposuction?
With age, skin loses elasticity, and fat tends to accumulate under the chin and along the jawline, often referred to as a “double chin” or “turkey neck.” While a neck lift tightens the underlying muscles and removes excess, loose skin, liposuction effectively eliminates the pockets of fat that often contribute to an aged or heavy appearance.
By combining both procedures, patients can enjoy:
- Improved jawline definition
- Elimination of neck bands and sagging skin
- A youthful, natural-looking contour
- More balanced facial harmony
This comprehensive approach offers more dramatic and longer-lasting results than either procedure alone.
What to Expect
During your consultation, Dr. Kearney will evaluate your skin quality, fat distribution, and muscle tone to determine if you’re a good candidate for both procedures. The combination is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take around two to three hours, depending on the extent of the work.
Recovery time is similar to a standalone neck lift, with most patients resuming their normal activities within 10-14 days. Mild swelling and bruising are expected but temporary.
