Mini Facelift (Short Scar Neck Lift)
Surgical Procedure A neck suspension suture procedure is a less invasive way to achieve a neck lift in patients who have mild to moderate laxity in their neck who may not want or need the downtime associated with a full neck lift or facelift procedure. Patients may also require submental liposuction under the chin as well if there are fatty deposits present. The intended result is to create a more youthful neck with a better contour. This procedure is often done in tandem with Radiofrequency Skin Tightening or Skin Resurfacing as well.
The liposuction portion of this procedure requires an incision approximately ½ inch wide under the chin where fat is suctioned through a tiny wand like instrument. This same entry can be used for a skin tightening procedure, minimalizing the number of incisions needed while still being able to deliver the rejuvenation wanted.

Aftercare and Recovery
The patient will go home with the chin and neck wrapped in dressings or in an elastic neck sling. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Swelling and bruising will disappear over approximately 2 weeks and though the result can be appreciated after a few weeks, final results are evident at one year after surgery.
