A little bit of excess skin and/or fat under the neck can be removed with a SIMI (single incision, minimally invasive) neck lift. Unlike a typical neck lift, which consists of 3 incisions - one under your chin and two behind the ear, this only requires one incision in the crux of your neck. From this incision, liposuction is performed to remove fat, the skin is undermined and draped to address the excess skin, some fat is excised directly and the platysma muscles are tightened. All of these steps help contour and smooth out the neck. As long as your hypothyroidism is controlled and you receive clearance from your primary care physician, this procedure is a great option to address your "creepy neck" concerns.
