Neck Liposuction and Submental Neck Lift

 

Submental Necklift and Suction Lipectomy:           
Excess   skin  and  fatty  tissues  beneath  the  jaw   lead  to a double chin deformity.    Many  patients with this problem can be treated by Tumescent Liposuction of the excess fat  or by   direct  fat excision via a  small  incision  under the chin.    This approach allows fat  removal  from  the neck and  jowl region and,  via  the incision  under the chin,  direct  tightening  of  the neck's  superficial  platysma  muscles  to  establish  a  better angle between   the neck and jawline.    If  there  is  too much loose neck skin and muscle,  a Facelift / Necklift  procedure is   necessary    to    properly     correct    the   age   changes.  Liposuction of  the  neck region  and  direct  fat excision with platysma  muscle tightening under local   anesthesia  in  the Office  Surgery   Suite  is  demonstrated  below.
