This 33 year-old lady was troubled by fullness under the neck and lack of contour despite being young and overall lean. The fullness in this situation is due to natural structure not ageing – floppy and bulky deep tissues under the chin.
She underwent a short scar neck lift to improve the contour by reducing the deep tissue excess (submandibular glands and deep fat) and tightening the platysma muscle. In addition, the hypoid bone was raised. These are not issues that can be addressed by liposuction, filler or non-surgcail treatments. The changes are all performed through a modest-sized scar under the chin. She was thrilled with the change at 3 months.
