I am 39 years old--almost 40. I do not sag in the neck but when I turn my neck to a certain way, I do not like the appearance. It is not quite sagging but it is very loose and unattractive. Do I need a neck lift yet or what would work without surgery?
A neck lift is an excellent procedure that can help correct and enhance the neck, which improves loose saggy skin, and gives a more natural look. Unfortunately, anyone who turns their neck in certain directions or turns the chin in may show some loose skin. If your neckline in the normal position looks good, then you probably won't benefit from surgery. There is no ideal age for neck surgery, and candidates may range from people in their 20's to the elderly as long as you are a good candidate. To see if you are qualified for this surgery, you should be sure to speak with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon.
I noticed some draping under the chin coming down from the scar within a few months after surgery. From my profile I think I look like I have jowling. Just not a perfect jawline. My plastic surgeon has told me this is due to salivary glands that are more visible now. He told me that there is not much that can be done but is consulting with an ENT specialist for suggestions. I wanted him to tighten the draping but he said it would look the same in 6 months. Any suggestions? see pictures
I have reviewed your pictures. Yes, it is true that ptosis ("droopiness") of the submandibular salivary glands can cause fullness in the submental area (under the chin). There are procedures that can correct this ptosis to a degree. Although, I do not think that the above issue is your problem. Seeking an ENT I do not think is an answer, as I cannot believe any ENT surgeon will remove the salivary glands for cosmetic purposes. It appears from pictures alone that you continue to display skin laxity in the neck and jowl area. It also appears that the skin in the submental area did not re drape smoothly after your surgery. If you are at least 1 year out from surgery it is not unreasonable to have a revision of the lower face and neck lift, via the original incision lines, to better re drape and tighten the lower face and neck. I perform a large amount of face/neck lifts in my practice, and feel that you will be able to undergo a revision safely. Good Luck.... Dr. Corrado
I am interested in a neck lift but hear and read many people complaining after the surgery that they feel "strangled" and "extremely tight". I have heard some patients feel as though there is a rope around their throat and mobility of the head is limited due to a pulling sensation. This sounds very alarming and I wonder if this ever results in a permanent situation or if revision is warranted because it is too tight. What would the proper revision be?
Is is not uncommon for patients to initially experience some discomfort or tightness in the neck following neck lift (platysmaplasty) or lower facelift surgery. As the procedures function to tighten the lower face and neck, some initial tightness is normal. These sensations are often accentuated due to swelling in the immediate postoperative period. As time progresses, the tissues will soften and these abnormal sensations will subside. Good Luck..... Dr. Corrado
