Can a neck lift be performed without having to cut in front of the ears?

Thank you for your questions. Yes, a necklift can be performed by making a small incision under the chin and a tiny incision behind each of the ears. The laser-assisted weekend necklift creates a more youthful appearance to the neck and jawline while providing recovery as short as one weekend. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question!  A neck lift can be performed through a few different approaches.  Depending on the amount of improvement needed/desired, incisions for a necklift can be placed behind the ears and/or in the submental neck area, just under the chin.  Generally, incisions placed in front of the ears result in a face lift.  Whether or not this may be performed under local anesthetic also depends on how extensive of a neck lift is being performed.  I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to obtain a professional recommendation and treatment plan.
