Necklift (Submental Lipectomy)

The first signs of an aging neck usually become evident in our forties and may appear as sagging or loosening of the skin below the chin or jaw. Some will notice cords or bands (the “weakening” of the platysma muscle) and possibly the development of a “turkey neck” or “turkey wattle.” With time, neck fullness and sagging tissues can progress to the point where the youthful definition of the jawline is blurred or lost altogether. It’s not just advancing age that can affect the look of your neck, even at a young age, excessive hereditary fat deposits located underneath the chin may enlarge and lead to the dreaded double or even triple chin. Surgical intervention can address all of these issues.
