Breaking News. There are two new non surgical treatments to address neck fat under the chin. Read more about Kybella and CoolMini here.

There are two different surgical techniques which surgically reshape your neck to correct a double chin and the dreaded tech neck. Which of these techniques is right for you depends on two things.

1. Do you have any excess skin?
2. Do you have loose neck muscles that cause a “turkey waddle” appearance?

If the answer to both of these questions is no and your skin is still elastic, then liposuction of the neck is a great option for you. If, on the other hand, you have excess skin and a loose platysma (neck muscle), liposuction without skin excision is not your best choice. In fact, liposuction alone would make it look like you have even more excess skin. You are a candidate for a neck lift instead.

Dr. Reath explains more in the video below:

Neck Liposuction

Most candidates for liposuction of the neck are relatively young and have hereditary deposits of fat in their neck and under their jaw that make them appear heavier than they really are. If you have good skin elasticity then it’s likely you would have good skin retraction and an
excellent contour with liposuction alone. This is the case with these patients below.

Neck Lift

During a neck lift two things happen. The excess skin and fat are removed and the loose platysma neck muscles are re-contoured. Some people refer to these muscles as neck bands. Removing the skin and fat while repairing these muscles produces the youthful pleasing look to your neck and under-jaw area that most patients have in mind.

Many people don’t realize that a necklift is actually the bottom half of a facelift. You can choose to have a just a neck lift or a facelift, which includes the neck lift. Some patients with saggy jowls that descend into the neck area are surprised to hear that what they actually need to correct their area of concern is a facelift, rather than a neck lift. That’s because the jowl area along the jawline is lifted during a facelift, and not during a neck lift.

BEFORE & AFTER: Before and After Necklift

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

Before

After

Before and After Necklift: Here is a 54-year-old woman who was concerned about the fullness and excess skin in her neck. Because she was pleased with the contour of the rest of her face, she did not need a full facelift. Dr. Reath performed a necklift. She is pictured here before and six months after thrilled with her procedure. It makes a remarkable difference in her profile.

Here’s an exercise you can do. Look at yourself in the mirror. Put two fingers just below your cheekbone and push the skin directly upward. Look at the change in your jaw line and along the nasolabial folds. If that’s the improvement you want, you won’t be happy with just a neck lift.
