A saggy, wrinkled neck is virtually impossible to disguise with any type of clothing or treat with creams or serums. No matter what skincare products you apply that promise skin-firming effects, an aging neck appearance persists and worsens. A neck lift is the definitive solution for an aging neck – when performed with the most advanced techniques.
Your individual condition will determine the surgical approach necessary to restore a youthful, defined jawline and upper neck.
This form of neck lift is fairly invasive, treating the entire chin area. It involves liposuction to remove under-chin and upper neck fat in addition to removing excess skin. The incisions are placed in the front of the ear, continue to the back of the hairline, and may vary in length.
This surgery is performed to reduce the appearance of vertical neck bands, which can give the neck an aged appearance.
This surgical approach is far less invasive, and Dr. Moynihan often uses this technique to restore a firm, defined appearance to the chin and jawline. The procedure is focused on removing a double chin that won’t disappear despite regular exercise and diet. Fatty deposits along the jawline can leave you looking heavier, even when in good physical shape, and may be an inherited physical trait. A submentoplasty requires only about an hour or less to complete and comes with smaller incisions and a faster recovery time. The incisions are placed around your ears, with another small incision made under the chin, all of which are virtually invisible once healed.
