Double-Chin and Excess Loose Skin Around Neck Archives

Facial Liposuction

Drfisher on February 24, 2023

Liposuction involves removing excess fat to improve your facial contours. Liposuction can improve your proportions and enhance your self-image. Liposuction can make you appear thinner. Often times, even with good health and fitness, localized fat deposits may remain for reasons out of your control, including genetics. Facial liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. Additional treatments to complement liposuction are needed to treat saggy skin. Depending on what is best for you, liposuction may be performed alone or in addition to other surgical procedures including facelifts. Please call our office if you would like to schedule a consultation to learn more about how liposuction procedures may apply specifically to you. General anesthesia is not necessary for liposuction. These procedures are performed using local anesthesia and “tumescent” technique, or intravenous sedation.

Areas in which we perform liposuction

Face – Liposuction can effectively remove fat from under the chin. Liposuction of the face may be combined with other skin enhancing procedures, including the Lumenis ActiveFX and DeepFX for improved results.

Necklift

A neck lift procedure specifically targets loose skin, excess fat, or weak muscles under the jaw and chin. The necklift is effective with both targeted liposuction and Botox injections. If you are concerned about sagging skin around your neck and would like a pleasing neckline, a neck lift may be an excellent option. Always consult with a board-certified physician to help make your decision. We are happy to help. Please contact our office so that we can help you determine which procedure is the best fit for you.

Profound RF

Profound is a new, energy-based facial treatment designed to turn back the clock on your face. It works by stimulating your body’s own natural collagen-building systems in just one single short, in-office treatment. As a result, it boosts elasticity in a way that makes aging skin look years younger. For patients who are noticing signs of skin sagging, wrinkling or other age-related damage, Profound makes a world of difference.

Is Profound right for you?

Profound is an ideal treatment option if you:

Want to reduce the signs of facial skin aging
Have sagging skin, especially around the jowls and cheeks
Do not have a history of poor skin healing

Profound works well on patients with all skin types and pigments. It is not an option for pregnant women or patients with pacemakers or defibrillators.

What can you expect in treatment?

Your Profound treatment will take less than 45 minutes to complete from beginning to end. You’ll receive local anesthetic beforehand, so the entire procedure is quick and comfortable. During treatment, the system heats your skin at deep layers in a controlled, precise way that stimulates new collagen production. Because it delivers the heating energy right where it’s most beneficial, you’re able to reap the greatest benefits.

Benefits of Profound

Profound smooths out and adds elasticity to your facial skin in a way that takes years off your appearance—in fact, clinical studies have shown a 100% response rate for wrinkles and a 95% response rate for skin laxity. Here are some key benefits:

Lifts sagging jowls and loose skin on the neck
Redefines the jawline
Minimizes the look of a double chin
Treats areas of loose skin
Works in just one single treatment
Requires no surgery, fillers or toxins

Results from Profound continue to improve after treatment. If you’re interested in learning more about the smoothing, age-defying power of Profound, talk to our team.

Facelift

Drfisher on January 25, 2023

As we age, for natural reasons our bodies shows signs of aging. These signs can manifest as sagging in the mid-face area, folds or creases in the lower eyelids, facial jowls, and loose skin. Loose skin under the jaw can make a person of healthy weight appear to have a double chin. While rejuvenation procedures can reduce the effects of aging over time, a surgical facelift is highly effective to improve the visible effects of aging in both the face and neck. Candidacy for surgery is considered on an individual basis, but if you are in overall good health physically, facelift surgery may be a good option for you.

A facelift is known medically as a “rhytidectomy.” There are many kinds of facelifts, and patients may be misled into thinking that all they need is a “mini” or “SMAS tightening” facelift. However, it is important to recognize the fact that the world’s top facelift surgeons do not perform this type of lift. It is also important to realize that the incisions used on these facelifts are the same as for the deep plane facelift.

Although Dr. Fisher was taught how to do a SMAS lift during his surgical residency, he realized the limitations and inconsistent results inherent with this technique. Four years ago, he began to learn the extended deep plane face and neck lift used by the top facelift surgeons in Manhattan and Beverly Hills. He studied the associated journal articles, videos, and textbooks while observing some of the most well-known surgeons perform them.

Dr. Fisher’s deep plane facelift results over the past three years speak for themselves. The deep plane face lift includes a midface lift. Buccal fat pad reduction and cheek contouring may also be performed if indicated during the deep plane facelift. An extended temporal brow lift can also be performed at the same time to treat the upper face and brow.

For patients only wishing to have excess neck skin removed and improved contour in that area, a deep plane neck life with Profound RF treatment may be an option.

A Liquid Facelift can be performed by using filler such as Radiesse. (Before/after picture are the 2 from the bottom)

A Mid-Face Lift can also be performed.
