Mini Necklift

Surgical Procedure

A mini necklift is a newer procedure we offer to restore the youthful contours of the lower face. This is ideal for patients who have mild to moderate laxity in their jawline and neck, and 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 around the jawline.

A mini necklift is often done in tandem with radiofrequency skin tightening using either Renuvion or FaceTite technology, depending on the area being treated. Patients often combine a mini necklift with a skin resurfacing procedure such as Halo to improve the quality of the skin.

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, minimizing the number of incisions needed while still being able to deliver the rejuvenation wanted.

This procedure can be done under local anesthesia and requires minimal to no downtime. The result is an uplifted appearance in the jawline and neck area.

Aftercare and Recovery
