A mini neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens and removes sagging skin in the neck and under the chin. The goal is to reposition the soft tissues in the neck and redefine the jawline and create a smoother contour and a more youthful appearance. A mini neck lift is a shortened version of the traditional neck lift with smaller incisions, condensed procedural work and an abbreviated recovery time.
Extended Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift Before and After- Dr. Malone performed her extended Deep Plane Facelift with Necklift (Platysmaplasty) for this patient. This procedure is a shorter incision technique that can result in powerfully natural results to lift the cheeks, tone the jawline and tighten the neck. As we age the lower face starts to feel widened and heavier, resulting in a more square face shape that can feel masculinizing to many women. Lifting the muscles and cheek fat pads as well as reducing the redundant buccal fat pads will recreate a more tapered lower face shape, recreating the heart shaped face that we associate with feminine youth. We are absolutely floored by this lovely patient's naturally beautiful transformation.

While this patient looks more youthful we love her naturally refreshed outcome.

Many patients present in their early to mid 40s wanting to lift up their cheeks and smooth and tighten their jawline.

A mini neck lift is a routine procedure involving an incision under the chin and behind the ear. The small incisions are barely visible once healed.
The fat can sometimes be removed by liposuction. The platysma (underlying) muscle is tightened creating a smooth and youthful appearance. Loose and excess skin is lifted and removed behind the ears. All incisions are then closed with stitches.
