Can a traditional cheek lift lift the throat skin at all?

Question

Can a traditional cheek lift (incision in the hairline and down to thre bottom of the ear with skin removal) affect the throat area at all? I have just a touch of laxity under my chin. When I pull my cheeks up with my fingers a touch, it does seem to lift this area, but will the lift produce something similar?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

A face-lift operation is done to lift middle and lower part of the face and neck together. So the cheeks, jowls and neck connective tissue and skin is rejuvenated. It is better to evaluate with photos to understand if you are candidate for this operation.
