Achieve a Youthful and Defined Neck with a Deep Neck Lifting

The submental area is the part of the neck that is under the chin and floor of mouth and the submental crease is a natural facial crease that sits behind the chin. For some people, there can be a small excess of skin that hangs down that causes them concern and embarrassment. The solution to this is a submental excision where a small incision is made in the submental crease and an elliptical piece of skin is removed behind the crease and the scar is buried in the crease and over time will become almost impossible to see. This procedure can tighten the neck skin in certain individuals without having to undergo a full facelift. The submental incision can be used to remove fat under the platysma and reduce prominent salivary glands that have fallen, creating unsightly bulges in the neck.

This procedure takes 30 mins and is carried out under local anaesthetic. a small incision is made in the crease and a small piece of skin is removed and the resultant scar sits within the crease and is hidden. The submental excision can be a stand-alone procedure and can be incorporated into a facelift or can be utilised with liposuction or in a deep neck lift and platysmaplasty.

There are stitches that are left in for 6-7 days and the scar can be covered up with light mineral make-up to camouflage the area. The downtime is only a week and most patients return to work after a few days.
