Before & After
Case Details
This 35-year-old woman led an active lifestyle, but felt bothered by fullness under her chin that did not match the rest of her physique. Initially, she inquired about liposuction to improve her neck contour. After a careful examination, I explained that her concerns stemmed from deeper fat deposits that liposuction alone could not address. To help her achieve the look she wanted, we decided a Mini Neck Lift (Single Incision) in New York would be a more effective option.
During the procedure, I made a single, discreet incision under her chin to remove the deeper fat and tighten the underlying muscle. We also reduced the size of the submandibular glands, which allowed for better contour and created a more defined jawline. Immediately after the Mini Neck Lift (Single Incision) in New York, she experienced significant swelling. This was expected, and I made sure to monitor her progress closely during the recovery process.
Over the next few months, the swelling gradually subsided. As her healing progressed, her new neck contour became visible. The results are subtle and natural—the goal was never to make her look different, only refreshed.
My approach with every Mini Neck Lift (Single Incision) in New York is to listen closely to each patient’s goals and create a surgical plan tailored to their unique anatomy. I feel that delivering honest recommendations and attentive follow-up care help patients feel confident in their decision and happy with their outcome.
