I am considering mini neck and pinch bleph in January. I feel that my neck ages me but not sure if I need a total one just yet. I had a lower bleph ten years ago in which fat was removed from lower eye area. It actually made me look worse and hollowed out. Thinking a pinch bleph might help my eyes look less droopy and more smooth. I am 41 in September and wnat to look as energetic as I feel!!! Turkey neck and hollowed eyes don't exactly help the cause!! Am I a good candiadte? Thanks for help!!
Answer: Mini Neck Lift Will Not Correct Muscle Bands
Thank you for your question. You look lovely and have excellent skin. I think it is early for you to consider neck lift surgery. However if you do decide to have a procedure it is important that you choose the proper procedure.
The 2 small folds seen on your neck are most likely caused by the Platysma Muscles beneath the skin and a mini neck lift will not address them. So if you are going to have the procedure the muscles must be addressed which is not usually done with a mini neck lift.
A skin pinch blepharoplasty will tighten the lower eyelid skin but superficial wrinkles will not be corrected. If you feel you have Hollow eyes then fat grafting is required to correct Hollow eye caused by previous fat resection. In my experience only laser resurfacing can remove surface wrinkles from the eyelid. However laser resurfacing of the lower eyelid can cause lid retraction if canthopexy is not done to tighten lid support.

Answer: Neck lift in pinch blepharoplasty
A neck lift procedure involves removal of fat above and below the platysma muscle and tightening the platysma muscle, called a platysma-plasty in the front part of the neck. When jowls are present and excess neck skin laxity are present, then a lower face and neck lift must be performed for best results. With respect to the lower lids a very conservative pinch technique or fractionated CO2 laser may help with the wrinkles on the lower lids.

Answer: Mini Face/Neck lifts can really help the right patient.
You appear to be a good candidate for a lower face/neck lift which can be done all under local anesthesia with less complications, swelling and bruising. I would recommend a jessner's + 35%TCA chem peel as well for the face and especially around the eyes rather than a pinch bleph. Sincerely,David Hansen,MD

Answer: Mini Neck Lift and pinch bleph
It appears that most of the doctors who replied think that you look very good for your age and I certainly agree with this. Certainly, one option is to do nothing and to realize that you look far more youthful than most others your age. But, if you are motivated to proceed, unlike several others who replied, I have no problems with either one of your suggestions. Certainly, there are those who might suggest eyelid resurfacing with laser or with chemical peeling instead of a pinch bleph and this is a viable alternative. But I don't think that under the eye fillers will give you the results that you are seeking. Good luck!
