Face Case #1389

This patient, a 47-year-old woman, came to my office with concerns about her neck and lower face. She felt her neck looked heavy and the skin below her chin had become loose over time. She also noticed more hollowness in her cheeks, which made her hesitate in social settings and in photos.

During our consultation, we talked about her goals for a more refined neck and a youthful facial contour. We decided a deep neck lift with submandibular gland reduction, muscle tightening, and neck liposuction would offer the improvement she wanted. Since she had excess superficial fat, I included targeted liposuction under her chin. This specific approach was tailored to sculpt her neckline and support the balance between her jaw, chin, and cheeks.

Now, several months after her facelift in New York, she feels more comfortable just being herself—whether she’s attending a gallery opening or meeting new people. She’s thrilled with her results and even mentioned starting a new relationship since her procedure. I always appreciate seeing how a few careful changes can boost someone’s confidence and fit naturally into their lifestyle.

Every face and neck have a unique story. My goal is to develop a surgical plan that supports your personal vision with proven techniques. As an experienced provider trained in both general and plastic surgery, I strive to help each patient find the solution that’s right for them—always with warmth, precision, and a commitment to helping you look and feel your best.
