At his premier plastic surgery practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Bucky employs advanced techniques to restore youthful contours, improve skin laxity, and address the crepey of the aging neck. Known for his personalized approach and meticulous attention to detail, Dr. Bucky delivers natural-looking outcomes tailored to each patient’s unique aesthetic goals. Dr. Bucky is committed to providing superior care and remarkable results with dilute fat grafting for the neck in isolation or in combination with other facial plastic surgery procedures like facelifts or neck lifts. Dilute fat is specially processed fat that rejuvenates rather than volumizes tissues.
What Is Dilute Fat Grafting for the Neck?
Dilute fat grafting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that enhances skin quality through advanced fat transfer techniques. By carefully harvesting fat cells from other areas of the body, like the abdomen or thighs, Dr. Bucky processes the fat solution before injecting it into the neck. This innovative approach minimizes the risk of contour irregularities, ensuring smoother, more natural-looking results.1 This procedure, often combined with facelift, neck lift, or Dr. Bucky’s minimally invasive Xact Mini Lift, is particularly effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and necklace lines, improving elasticity, and creating a more youthful appearance.
