I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider a surgical procedure at Allen Aesthetic Surgery. I understand how much time, thought, and planning you have likely invested in this process. I deeply regret to inform you that I will be relocating from North Carolina to Tennessee to be closer to family and will discontinue surgical procedures in September 2026. As a result, I will be unable to provide long-term follow-up care after that time. Virtual care may be an option in some circumstances; however, this is a decision you must feel comfortable with. Your safety and aesthetic goals remain very important to me, and I want to ensure you are supported as much as possible during this transition.

For larger procedures, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or similar surgery, it may be in your best interest to consult with another surgeon, as these cases generally require a longer recovery period. Smaller procedures, such as blepharoplasty or liposuction, may still be possible during August and September. Ultimately, however, the decision about how you wish to proceed is entirely yours as long as you understand that I will not be seeing patients beyond October 23, 2026.

I will not be performing any surgical procedures beyond mid-September. This decision is intended to protect your safety and ensure that no patient is left without appropriate follow-up care or support during the recovery process.
I am truly sorry that I cannot continue as your physician, and I extend my warmest wishes for your future health, confidence, and happiness.

You are not too old and it's never too late.....

Are You a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Do you ever feel like your neck gives away your age more than your face?

The delicate skin under the chin is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. From sagging skin and muscle laxity to stubborn fat deposits, these changes can impact your self-confidence — no matter how committed you are to your skincare routine.

If you’re seeking a way to restore a smoother, more contoured neckline, a neck lift might be the solution.

Dr. Amber Allen performs neck lift procedures at Allen Aesthetic Surgery in Raleigh, NC. With extensive training from industry leaders and a background in fine arts, she understands how to create natural-looking outcomes that enhance your appearance without dramatically altering it.

Signs You Might Be a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift

A neck lift is a good fit for individuals who want to address visible signs of aging or weight changes in the lower face and neck. You might be a candidate if you have:

  • Loose or sagging skin under the chin or jawline
  • Prominent vertical neck bands (platysmal bands)
  • Excess fat that gives you a double chin or “turkey neck”
  • A loss of jawline or chin definition
  • A desire for facial rejuvenation without full facelift surgery

Ideal candidates are generally in good physical health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Allen will also consider your skin elasticity, anatomy, and long-term goals during your consultation.

When to Talk to a Cosmetic Surgeon

If you’re noticing changes in your neck that makeup, skincare, or non-surgical treatments can’t fix, it may be time to explore surgical options.

Dr. Allen can assess your skin condition and help you decide if this is the best approach. She might also recommend combining a neck lift with other procedures, such as liposuction or a lower facelift, for enhanced results.
