Neck & Chin Enhancement

A well-defined, youthful looking neck is attractive because a number of important components are working together. A satisfactory chin prominence continues straight back towards the throat and then forms a right angle as the neck line continues to the base of the neck. The skin is taut and is of good quality. Minimal to no fat is present under the area behind the chin. A poor angle that continues straight down to the base of the neck is unattractive and may be due to fat accumulation, loose skin, poor projection of the chin or a combination of these deformities. Patients often wear turtleneck sweaters to conceal this deformity and usually avoid photographs of their profile.

Neck Rejuvenation

As we age, different areas of the face and neck are affected differently. Some people develop wrinkling and sun damage in their entire face and neck. Some people seem to lose facial fat, while others accumulate fat in the neck and maintain good skin tone. Others may develop more exaggerated signs of aging in their neck.

What conditions can be corrected with what procedures?

  • Loose, sagging skin under the chin requires tightening of the skin with a laser.
  • If the skin is too excessive, it may need to be removed with excisional surgery.
  • Visible vertical bands in your neck, the neck muscles can be tightened in the midline.
  • Fat deposits in the neck can be removed with liposuction or direct excision.

Chin Surgery (Mentoplasty)

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.
