Several factors contributed to the unsightly neck in this man who was too young to have a neck such as this.
Each of the component had to be surgically corrected to obtain this degree of improvement. In other words the result is not from a simple necklift.
His correction required a lower facelift including necklift with contouring of the platysma muscle and skin tightening. Excessive prominence of his submandibular glands required partial resection of the gland on each side.
Not often appreciated is the importance of the shape of the bone structure of the mandible. Seen before the surgery, the jawline definition was relatively weak and the chin did not have good definition at its lower part. Correction was performed by augmenting the jawline, individualised for his need, using hydroxyapatite coral granules for jawline enhancement, 3.6ml each side and 0.6 ml chin augmentation.
