Not every patient needs a facelift to achieve a beautifully defined jawline and neck.
Our 54-year-old patient was bothered by fullness under the chin and along the neck, along with a lack of definition through the chin and jawline.
Importantly, she did not have significant jowling or deep facial folds, which made her an ideal candidate for a more targeted, structural approach. Her anatomy and aesthetic goals helped us design a plan focused on deep structural refinement rather than skin removal.
Her transformation included:
· Structural neck lift to contour and support the deeper tissues
· Submandibular gland reduction to address fullness beneath the jawline
· Digastric muscle refinement to smooth the submental contour
· Corset platysmaplasty to tighten and define the neck from within
· Chin implant to enhance chin and jawline projection and balance in profile and oblique views
All of this was performed through a small, well-concealed incision under the chin, without removing skin. The result is a neckline that appears more sculpted and defined, more balanced, and naturally harmonious with the rest of her face.
This type of structural neck lift is especially powerful for patients who feel that their profile lacks definition — even when the skin itself is not severely lax.
Subtle changes.
Sophisticated technique.
Impeccable contour.
