If You Get a Necklift Will It Affect a Future Facelift? I am able to hold off on a facelift until next year. I am keeping things at bay with Dysport and Restylane I do though have a neck problem with soft beginning of a sagging there. Uneveness from lipo 10 years ago. Which comes first for best results? The face and than the neck? I feel like the horse or the cart asking this, but I think maybe a future facelift will affect the lay of the face. Thanks

A: uneven neck contours and necklift options

You have a few options to address your uneven neck contours. If there is some skin laxity and excess, platysma banding (ie neck cords), and residual fatty deposits, and it is not too extensive, then a procedure called submentoplasty can be performed with an incision under the chin. It is also possible to add incisions behind the ear for more improvement. It will not detract from future facelift results, and there may be less to do in the neck area when you do have the facelift performed. Seek out a Facial Plastic Surgeon with experience and board certification for a comprehensive evaluation.

What Procedure Would Be Appropriate for my Neck? I'm pretty young (19) but I've been noticing more recently that my neck appears rather fleshy, like the the neck line droops down too close to my chin. I'm pretty fit, so I think it's genetics - but I'm not sure if that's fat in my neck. I assume part of it is because I have a small chin, but I don't think I want to consider a chin implant as that seems more risky. Is there any possible neck liposuction or neck lift I could do? The former would seem more ideal for my age but I've no idea.

A: Tumescent liposuction with small cannulas will help your neck.

At your age, there are probably some hereditary factors at work to cause lipodystrophy or double chin. Some fat may also be present under the platysma muscles, but that is not apparent from the photos. Limited small cannula liposuction is probably appropriate unless there is loose skin, which can be addressed with limited excision using a small submental incision.

How Much Swelling and Bruising Will I Get from Neck Liposuction and Lift? I am scheduled for Neck lipo and Neck lift next week. How much swelling and brusing should I expect? How long will they last?

A: Neck lift with lipo

Lipo of the neck and then lifting the neck is one approach to sculpting the neck. I prefer to inject the neck with the fluid that we use for liposuction and then surgically recontour the neck , including the fat, under direct vision without suctioning. I believe this gives superior results. Your surgeon may get the best results with the procedure that you describe. The bruising should be minimal and the majority of the edema should be nearly resolved in ten days.

Best,
