Neck contouring surgery aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the neck and chin area. It targets issues such as surplus fat, lax skin, and weak muscles that contribute to double chin formation, neck fullness, and a lack of jawline definition. This procedure harmonizes facial features, promoting a more balanced overall appearance.
Dr. David Gilbert, an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in performing neck contouring surgery. His expertise ensures tailored procedures that align with each patient's aesthetic aspirations and unique requirements. To explore your options further, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Inland Institute Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Benefits
Neck contouring resolves concerns related to weak chins or excess neck fat, eliminating surplus fat and tightening skin to achieve a well-defined jawline and improved facial symmetry.
Aging often leads to sagging neck skin and wrinkles. Neck contouring addresses these issues by eliminating excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue, resulting in a smoother and more youthful neck contour.
Excess fat deposits in the neck area can contribute to facial heaviness. Neck contouring removes these deposits, creating a slimmer and more contoured facial profile.
Types of Neck Contouring
When looking for a youthful and well-defined neck appearance, various neck contouring procedures offer effective options. Among these, neck liposuction and neck lift surgery are prominent choices.
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive method that targets surplus fat deposits, addressing concerns such as double chin and neck fullness. By extracting fatty tissue through small incisions, it enhances neck definition and jawline contour. This outpatient procedure suits patients with good skin elasticity and minimal skin laxity.
In contrast, a neck lift is a more comprehensive surgical approach that not only removes excess fat but also addresses loose skin and weakened neck muscles. By accessing underlying tissues through incisions around the ears and under the chin, surgeons tighten platysma muscles, remove excess skin, and reposition remaining skin for a rejuvenated profile. This procedure is ideal for individuals with significant neck laxity or those desiring substantial enhancement.
Non-Surgical Neck Contouring Procedures
For those preferring non-surgical methods to refine their neck appearance, several effective options exist that are minimally invasive and require minimal downtime.
- CoolSculpting® involves controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells beneath the chin, enhancing neck contours. Treatment frequency varies based on individual needs, utilizing the FDA-cleared CoolMini® applicator for precise neck treatments.
- Kybella®, an injectable treatment using synthetic deoxycholic acid, targets chin fat cells to achieve a more defined neck profile. Multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results, tailored to individual responses.
- Ultherapy® uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, firming and lifting neck skin. Many individuals experience noticeable improvements after just one session, though multiple treatments may be beneficial for some.
