Why can't surgeons simply make an incision under the chin to access and tighten neck musculature in cases of Neck lift? I do not need a lower facelift; I just have a neck that does not match my face, due to cervical spondylosis. It surely cannot be too difficult to access and tie these loose muscles without drastic surgery. I look like a bullfrog at the moment, so Botox is unlikely to help me.
Certan aspects of a neck lift can be approached from the area under the chin. I use this incision all the time. You have access to the submental fat and platysma bands so that they can be plicated and sometimes even cut. But, if there is a lot of loose skin, you have to remove it and that means incisions behind the ears.
