Adjustment of the Platysma Position and Chin Augmentation to Improve the Neck

The relative position of the inferior portion of the chin to the neckline can have a significant appearance on how youthful a neck can appear. For example, to the untrained eye it may appear in the before picture that the neck would need to be tightened. In reality the chin needs to be lowered to the position of the neckline. The addition of a chin implant, mild submental liposuction, a platysmal repositioning can have a significant impact on the youthful appearance of the neck.

Facelift. Deep Plane Facelift.

I enjoy all of the different types of facelift techniques that I have learned.

My preferred facelift technique is the deep plane technique. Which technique I perform depends upon the presence of jowling, the heaviness of the neck, and the depth of the nasolabial fold. I find that a significant amount of youth can be restored to the face with effective treatment of the neck in facelift surgery.

Appropriately addressing the neck requires a small incision beneath the chin to adequately correct the presence of platysmal bands or deposits of fat beneath the chin.
