I am 60 years old and ever since a lipo procedure under my chin about 6 years ago my neck has looked worse snd my platysmal bands show. What can I do to help the appearance of my neck? Thank you!
Answer: Neck lift As a board certified plastic surgeon, I am often asked questions like this and unfortunately, the liposuction of your neck likely wasn’t the right approach. 99% of all people in their 50s do not have enough collagen and elastin needed for a good result, so what you see is hanging skin that has been defatted rather than a sharp, youthful jawline. The better approach would have been a formal neck lift during which liposuction would take place along with a resection of the skin that would tighten and redefine the jawline. Just based on your photos, it appears that you would likely be an excellent candidate for a lower face- and neck lift, which would in turn help improve your marionette lines, jowls and neck. I recommend consulting in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and expectations.

Answer: Lower face and neck lift From the photos that you have provided, I believe you may be a good candidate for a lower face and neck lift. A lower face and neck lift would address the sagging around your neck and jowls and allow for a youthful rejuvenated look. The best part is that you will be able to enjoy this refreshed look for many years to come as we typically expect the results to last 8-10 years, as opposed to non-surgical options that typically last about a year. As for your visible platysma bands, deep muscle work can be performed during the procedure to lessen the appearance of them. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete multiple in office consultations with a board certified facial plastic surgeons to discuss your ideal outcome. This way, they can assess your goals in person and determine the best treatment for you. Best of luck! Kian Karimi MD, FACS

Answer: The Advanced Lower Face/Neck Lift under local is just what the doc ordered. You would look so amazing. There is nothing going to make the lower face/neck look fabulous now other than a great mini Lift under local. It is so easy to undergo and you look so amazing in just 2 days . You are wrapped up for 1-2 weeks though but there is almost no pain during or afterwards. A little filler in the oral commissure areas would compliment the results nicely as well as a face/neck/chest resurfacing with Morpheus8 and a medium TCA peel.

Answer: Necklift with corset Platysmaplasty and lower facelift Hi Nursedebbie, neck/chin liposuction for a double chin often times deflates the double chin, but results in vertical muscle bands (clench your jaw to show all your lower teeth and you will see two vertical neck muscles protruding through the neck skin) and loose skin.

Answer: Lower face and neck lift... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for necklift along with the jawline lift. This will tighten the muscle and lift up the skin, making it appear much more youthful. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.
