I had a necktite procedure and closed platysotomy. It left me with no submental fat, loose skin and looking much worse. My question is, can the middle of my neck be raised and moulded under my chin during a neck/facelift? Just knowing it's possible will put my mind at ease. I'm 54, and had a lot of healthy fat also above my jawline that was removed without my knowledge or consent.

Answer: Neck Hello, Thank you for your question and sorry to hear about your result. Based on your photos, a necklift will certainly help. Keep in mind that it will likely never be a perfect result since the soft tissue has been removed but there are certainly things that can be done to make it MUCH better. This can be done wide awake using local anesthesia and oral medications to help you relax. Patients do incredibly well with this and it avoids the side effects of general anesthesia. Mark G.

Answer: Neck Lift Hello, hope you are well. The muscles of your neck, especially the platysma, appear skeletonized. Platysmaplasty and neck contouring with a neck lift can help to improve this appearance. Best,Dr. Tower
