• Necklift with Limited Excision
• Liposuction of Neck and Jawline with Suture Suspension

Necklift with Limited Excision

For this San Jose plastic surgery technique, a small incision is made under the chin. Neck muscles are tightened and modified to improve the angle of the neck and remove excess fat and fullness, creating a more youthful and attractive look. Additionally, because the incisions are skillfully placed in the contours of the jawline, scarring is typically only minimally visible after healing takes place.

Liposuction of Neck and Jawline with Suture Suspension

Excess fat in the neck is removed with San Jose plastic surgery SmartLipo liposuction excision through a small incision under the chin. Better neck and mandibular border definition is obtained by the use of a suspension suture anchored in the fascia behind the ear and in the midline under the chin. The suture acts as a sling to pull in the lax neck muscle and reinforce the midline muscle repair. Appropriate tension applied to the suture provides definition and keeps it from being felt by the patient after surgery. The newer barbed Quill unidirectional sutures may allow even better suture suspension in the future.
