Who this may help
An adult with neck or jawline laxity may be considered after evaluation of skin quality, fat, platysma muscle, chin support, and lower-face aging.
Neck Lift
Features considered in proportion—not in isolation.
A neck lift can tighten supporting tissues, reposition soft tissue, and remove excess skin beneath the chin and along the neck. It may be planned alone or with facial surgery when the jawline and neck have changed together.
