Lower facelift include double chin removal? (Photo)

Question

Hello! If you're getting a full lower facelift/neck lift, and you have a double(or triple lol) chin, is it part of the facelift procedure and cost to remove the access fat, or is liposuction considered an add-on and therefore additional cost in incurred? I included pictures in case that helps.Thanks!

For a deep neck lift or facelift, addressing those wrinkles and fullness areas should be part of the process. You can expect a very nice improvement.

Thank you for your question and photos. Excess fat removal and treating a double chin are generally included in lower facelift procedures. The neck and throat are targeted directly to remove submental fat, tighten the tissues along the jawline, and tighten the skin to create a smooth and well-defined contour.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to answer any questions you have and help you decide if this procedure is right for you.

A well performed deep plane facelift should include a deep neck lift in this circumstance.  This will address sub platysmal (deeper) neck fat and muscle, in addition to a platysmaplasty to help contour the  neck. The face and platysma in the neck age downward and forward and must be repositioned to achieve a more youthful jawline and neck.

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

Different surgeons have different names for facelift. I do a full facelift which includes the neck with fat removal, but not removed with liposuction, I also do a mini facelift which does not include the chin. the neck lift only works on the neck and does include the chin. However, this surgery is very limited and used mainly in younger people with large necks. You would also be a good candidate for liposuction of the chin and neck areas with minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion. Many patients are getting the mini facelift look with much less pain and down time.  We have some great noninvasive options as well.

Hi dear lohaus1010!
The issues you mentioned can be addressed to a well-executed Lower Face Bulldog Aesthetics in the right hands. Lower face Bulldog Aesthetics include removal of fat, excess skin, and connective tissues under skin. You can achieve younger, tighter and elegant jawlines like before it sags. This is a simple surgical procedure that can be performed under local or general anesthesia, takes approximately 1.5 - 2 hours, and can return to normal life immediately after the procedure. Excess skin and tissues under the skin that causes sagging on your lower face is removed with a tiny incision made behind the ear. The hidden tiny incision scars will remain around ears will fade day by day and become almost invisible. It is permanent for almost 10 years because it is handled not only skin but also muscles, smas flaps and strong connective tissues under the skin. It will not change your apperance, your jawline will only re-gained definition with this process. Best regards.

In our practice, a lower face and neck lift does include rejuvenation of the neck. It's very important to ask that question with your prospective surgeon. You also have significant fat deposits located below the platysma muscle, so it's you're going to need Neck specialist to address that issue. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Liposuction alone in the neck will be ineffective, since the majority of your fat deposits are located below the platysma muscle which requires surgical removal.
