Hi! I am scheduled to get a neck lift procedure next month and I am planning on asking my plastic surgeon about this at my preop, but I’m curious to get an array of thoughts. I have seen some patient post neck lift have what looks almost like a hollowing under the chin around the throat area. Is this something that is expected to happen? Is this something that can be avoided or does this just depend on individual anatomy? If I’m hoping to avoid it, it is something specific I can discuss with my surgeon?
