Can the deep indentation on my neck located under my chin be corrected?

January 31, 2015
Asked By:JEAN RENARD in Scottsdale, AZ

The indentation under my chin in my neck looks like someone poked the skin deeply and it did not pop back out into a normal shape, but just stayed indented. The indentation is right in between the two protruding salivary glands. Is it possible to do a vertical cut on the neck to pull the vertical bands closer together (they are about two inches apart) and to make the indentation disappear or should I have a fat transfer to close the deep indentation?
