Deep neck contouring has emerged as a transformative procedure for individuals looking to enhance their confidence and refine their appearance. If you’re new to this concept, don’t worry! Drs. Lieberman, Parikh, and Curti, all double-board certified facial plastic surgeons are some of the nation’s best face and neck surgeons and will help you understand everything you need to know about contouring your neck so you look and feel more like yourself.
What is Deep Neck Contouring?
Deep neck contouring is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the shape and definition of the neck and jawline. Unlike surface-level treatments, this procedure works beneath the skin to address deeper structures, such as excess fat, loose muscles, and even certain bone structures. It’s particularly beneficial for people who feel they have lost the young, defined jawline they once had!
The goal of deep neck contouring is to create a more youthful and balanced appearance, making the neck and jawline more harmonious with the rest of your face.
However, deep neck contouring is not the only option to rejuvenate the appearance of your neck! At L&P Aesthetics, the Midline Necklift is a common and proven way to see big results in your neck and jawline definition.
What is a Midline Necklift?
A midline neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten the muscles of the neck for a more contoured appearance. Most all of the Midline Necklifts performed at L&P Aesthetics also include Deep Neck Contouring.
Unlike traditional neck lifts that involve more extensive incisions around the ears, the midline neck lift focuses primarily on the central part of the neck. This technique involves tightening the platysma muscles—the thin, sheet-like muscles that extend from the collarbone to the jawline—and removing any excess fat or skin to create a smoother and more defined contour.
Midline neck lifts are the upgraded version of deep neck contouring. By addressing the muscles in addition to the midline neck lift is the name of the procedure that tightens the muscles. If they have glands and muscles that are causing the fullness then deep neck contouring is almost always added on to get the best result.
Why a Midline Necklift is Superior for Deep Neck Contouring?
- Targeted Precision The facial plastic surgeons at L&P Aesthetics will tailor your midline neck lift to address your specific concerns about your neck’s central region, including sagging skin, vertical bands, and fat deposits. By directly targeting this area, the procedure achieves a refined contour that enhances the jawline and restores a youthful profile.
- Natural-Looking Results One of the most significant advantages of the midline neck lift is that it can produce subtle, natural-looking results. The procedure focuses on restoring harmony to the neck and jawline without overcorrecting, ensuring that you look refreshed rather than “overdone.”
- Minimally Invasive Compared to Traditional Necklifts While still a surgical procedure, the midline neck lift typically involves smaller incisions and less dissection than traditional neck lifts. This means reduced scarring and a faster recovery time for most patients.
- Long-Lasting Outcomes Unlike non-surgical options that require regular maintenance, the results of a midline neck lift can last for years. This makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run for those seeking a dramatic yet enduring improvement in their neck contour.
- Addresses Core Aging Mechanisms Aging in the neck is often caused by the weakening and separation of the platysma muscles, as well as fat accumulation and skin laxity. A midline neck lift addresses these core issues by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess tissue, ensuring comprehensive rejuvenation.
