What is a chin & neck lift?
Also known as a Submentoplasty, it is a less invasive procedure to rejuvenate the neck in selected patients.
Submentoplasty (Chin and Neck Lift)
The surgery involves an incision under the chin, liposuction to the neck, removal of deep fat, reshaping and tightening of the platysma muscle.
Submentoplasty Patients
Generally, younger patients with a poor chin and neck profile and without significant skin excess are the best candidates. Selected adults with excess neck tissue and without jowls may occasionally be candidates.
Who aren’t candidates for chin and neck lifts?
Patients with excessive neck skin and jowling are only candidates for facelift.As stated, patients in their fifth decade is significant skin excess are usually not candidates.
Types of anesthesia used during submentoplasty
our facelift specialist prefers IV sedation or general anesthesia for submentoplasty procedures.
