44 y/o male with a low hyoid - am I still a candidate for a neck lift with liposuction? (photos)

Question

Age 44, Male, BMI 31. I would like to improve my neck's side profile via a necklift. My anatomy is not ideal (ie. recession, jaw structure and low hyoid). Would I benefit from platysmaplasty with liposuction? Note: I am unable to get jaw surgery is not an option due to root resorption from orthodontics.

Liposuction and platysmaplasty (neck tuck) would make such a great improvement and is done under local.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The photograph demonstrate significant fat deposits, located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. Liposuction can accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the muscle, while surgical extraction is required to remove the fat deposits below the muscle. Platysma plasty is also performed during the neck lift procedure in our practice. With a neck lift, no skin removal is required. If you have poor skin tone in the neck even at age 44, you may need a lower face and neck lift, this must be determined at the time of the consultation.
