How to Correct a Wide Neck?

Some patients with laxity of the lower face may have some droopiness related to a retrusive chin.  This may help, and so will Ultherapy alongside a chin implant to tighten the lower face and neck.

         Liposuction or a neck lift would be the two alternatives from your description, but a physical exam or the appropriate pictures would be necessary to give an accurate answer in regard to your specific circumstance.  Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of facial procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

It is possible the liposuction under the chin and neck will give you a slimmer looking neck.  However, some photos (frontal and profile views) of this area are necessary to further confirm or at least suggest this option.  It could also be possible that after the liposuction you are left with loose skin and/or underlying muscle and thus need a neck lift to tighten this up.  Best next step is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that can physically evaluate you and recommend the best plan from there.  Glad to help...
