The appearance of the neck is influenced by many factors, including sun exposure, genetics, and the aging process. At CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center, plastic surgeons Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace and Dr. Juan Quintero offer several cosmetic surgery procedures for the neck. These procedures range from simple liposuction under the chin to a complete neck lift to give their patients from Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, and Floyds Knobs, Indiana, firm, attractive necklines.
To find out how cosmetic surgery can improve the appearance of your neck, request a consultation today at CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center or call (502) 899-9979 to schedule your visit.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Women and men in their 20s and older choose Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero for neck enhancement procedures. They customize these procedures to provide one or a combination of the following improvements:
Additionally, you can treat sun damage with skincare regimens, chemical peels, and laser treatments.
Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero perform liposuction under the chin, called submental liposuction, to remove fatty deposits that make the neck fuller than desired, resulting in the appearance of a double chin. The excess fat can be under the skin or under the muscle. You may also want to consider KYBELLA®, a nonsurgical injectable treatment approved by the FDA specifically to reduce the fat that causes a double chin.
The submental liposuction procedure takes less than an hour to complete. It is performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under twilight or local anesthesia. The surgeon infiltrates the area with fluid, applies external ultrasonic energy, and then suctions away the fat with very thin liposuction cannulas.
This free, easy-to-use program lets you access your records and documents, learn about procedures, and even upload your own photos.
LEARN MORERecovery following submental liposuction should last only a few days. Postoperatively, a chin strap is worn for 1 week continually and an additional week at bedtime. Risks include bruising, swelling, contour irregularities, dimpling, sensation changes, temporary motor nerve weakness, and incomplete flattening of the neck due to anatomic limitations.
Results from liposuction under the chin are noticeable almost immediately and are generally extremely impressive in appropriately selected patients. Younger patients and those who carry fat mostly in the neck are the best candidates for this procedure.
The undesirable contour of the neck may be due to a combination of fatty deposits and looseness in the central neck muscles, called the platysma muscles. Platysmaplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses vertical neck bands caused by muscle laxity. Dr. Calobrace or Dr. Quintero combines it with liposuction to remove fatty deposits. This procedure is generally not appropriate when a significant amount of excess skin is present.
Whether you want the latest non-surgical aesthetic procedures or you desire a relaxing day spa experience, CaloSpa® Rejuvenation Center is ready to serve you.

Learn MorePlatysmaplasty with liposuction takes about an hour to complete. It is performed through an incision under the chin through which the surgeon tightens the neck muscles. The surgeon performs liposuction through a small incision placed behind each ear.
Postoperatively, a chin strap is worn for 1 week continually and for an additional week at bedtime. While recovery is similar to that for submental liposuction, it usually will take longer for the neck to soften and feel normal. In addition to the risks for submental liposuction, there is a risk of poor scarring, thickening, recurrence of platysmal bands, and skin irregularities/redundancy.

Learn MoreThe undesirable contour of the neck may be due to fatty deposits, loose neck muscles, and lax skin. Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero perform neck lift surgery to address this combination of concerns that are seen most often in the aging neck. He often combines neck lift surgery with a facelift for complete facial rejuvenation.
The approach for neck lift surgery generally involves a small incision under the chin and limited incisions around and behind the ears. This procedure is similar to a lower facelift, but does not address the lower facial/jowl region and involves shorter incisions. Liposuction is performed if necessary, muscle is tightened through both the submental and lateral incisions, and skin is removed from around the ears. The surgery takes about 2 hours to complete.
Neck lift recovery generally takes from a few days to a week. Postoperatively, a chin strap is worn for 5 to 7 days. The risks are similar to those for cervicoplasty, but may also include poor scarring around the ear, ear distortions, permanent nerve injuries, and skin necrosis.
