A neck lift is commonly combined with a facelift to help improve the overall aesthetic result. The facelift incision (around the ear) can be further augmented with an incision hidden just behind the chin to allow more refinement of neck contour.
Typically, excess fat deposit in the neck can be removed by liposuction and direct excision. The underlying platysmal muscle can also be sutured and tightened. The overlying skin is then redraped and sutured to help improve the jawline contour and skin laxity
