Can I get a better Neck lift result with Submandibular Gland Resection? (photos)

January 21, 2014

When I had neck liposuction about 3 years ago my highly skilled and respected surgeon said it wouldn’t be possible to achieve an ideal aesthetic outcome because of my anatomy. Alas, my skin didn't shrink. I can't change my hyoid bone, but could I get a better result with submandibular gland resection? My last surgeon didn’t offer it as an alternative, but a recent consult with another very well regarded PS did. Do I look like a good candidate?
