There are many Facial Plastic Surgeons and Plastic Surgeons in your area who can perform a submental Z-plasty with great results. However, I am not sure why having the procedure performed under local is so critical. The vast majority of my patients prefer not to be aware of the sights and sounds of the OR. Although this may sound easier and safer, it introduces a level of anxiety you may not be aware of and can add operative time.
Thank you for your question.The Z plasty procedure will address skin excess at the chin level. However, in the majority of times will leave a prominent scar. the traditional surgery has the disadvantages of the length and invasiveness. However, when done properly it camouflages the scars very well. Good luck in your journey
There are several talented facial plastic surgeons in Houston. One in particular stands out -- Russell Kridel MD. He has an excellent reputation among his peers in this field and is a leader in the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. Do yourself a favor and pay him a visit. Another such surgeon you may want to consider is Anthony Brissett MD, at the Baylor College of Medicine.Best wishes! Harry V. Wright MD, Sarasota, Florida

After a neck lift I encourage my patients to wear a chin strap for two to three days to diminish swelling. I don't believe the strap is helpful for most patients after that time. At two months following surgery you are almost fully healed.
A neck lift or platysmaplasty can help sagging skin, loose muscle, or adhesions. Adhesions typically occur when too much fat is removed and the neck is skeletonized. A dermal matrix can be placed between the skin and the muscle to prevent recurrence. I would wait 6 months before undergoing a...
I advise doing the neck lift separately from the thyroid surgery. The incision necessary for the thyroid surgery would diminish blood flow to the neck skin and increase your risks with a simultaneous neck lift. In addition, some benign cysts turn out to be early cancer and it would...
It is not uncommon to be experiencing some #lumps four months post-op. Recovery from a neck and facelifts do vary per person. This process can take from 2-6 months for face, neck and cheeks. Muscle weakness may also be present around the mouth especially if liposuction is used. Some degree of...
