Adam's apple and "cobra neck" after deep plane FL and NL? (Photo)

August 13, 2024
Asked By:SMH33 in McRae-Helena, Georgia

6 months post deep plane facelift and neck lift. Great job getting rid of my jowls and turkey neck, but it's like the cartilage structure in my throat has dropped and relaxed. I understand that removing excess skin and fat make the neck structure more visible, but I've compared pics and my throat was not nearly this prominent. Can this be remedied w/under chin incision alone Does the cobra neck cause the adam's apple to press down and out? I'm 60, trying to be reasonable.
