Best procedure for firming neck and chin?

There are three components in the neck that must be addressed for a comprehensive neck rejuvenation. These components are excess skin, fat above and below the muscle, and the muscle itself. The anterior platysmal bands are tightened with sutures placed in the neck. Fat is removed above and below the... more

Without a photo(s) I am at a disadvantage.  However, you may want to consider a neck lift, which is the lower half of a face lift.  If your cheeks are in good shape, you can go ahead and fix your "problem" area, and when the time comes, you havent burned bridges for the cheeks. Other... more

This is probably not the answer you want to hear but, in my opinion, the best option for firming up the neck and chin is a facelift. That having been said, it is not a popular option and many  individuals seek non-surgical treatments such as Thermage. The problem with many of these treatments is... more

1. Filler; Sculptra will restore the thickness of the skin which happens because of loss of volume (collagen) over time. 2.

There are many options depending on what is bothering you. If you have excess fat under the chin and neck area laser liposuction can remove fat and tighten skin. The addition of a chin implant can markedly improve results. If you have banding--2 parallel folds running up and down the neck--then you will need a... more

When you say that you neck and chin area do not look as good as your face, can you explain further.  Is it just crepey skin with fine wrinkles, perhaps some mottling or sun damaged skin and fine lines?  And perhaps some acne scars?  If this is the case, consideration may also be given to the... more

In patients who neither want nor need a facelift I do feel there is an option.  In the right patient with some excess fat in the neck and minimally loose skin I perform a combination procedure of liposuction and Thermage. I havae found that in the right patient this combination gives noticeable result... more
