Liposuction of the Neck
If there is excess fat in the area under the chin but your skin is still taut, Liposuction alone can produce a more sculpted, angular, and youthful jaw line. In general, most patients who benefit from Liposuction of the neck will be under 40. In some cases, a
Weekend LIFT will be recommended in combination with
liposuction of the neck for the best result.
Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)
If, however, the skin of the neck is loose, hanging, or creepy, even if there is excess fat, liposuction alone will not produce the desired result. A full Neck Lift may be used to address problems with slack skin, slack neck muscles, or both. Most patients over 40 will require some surgical skin tightening.
Neck Lift with Facelift
Many times patients choose to have a Neck Lift with their Face Lift procedure. Patients with loose facial and neck skin usually require a face and neck lift in addition to or instead of
liposuction.
