What Does a Mini Neck Lift Treat?

- Loose skin in the upper neck
- Lack of jawline definition
This procedure is perfect for patients seeking subtle yet noticeable improvement without extensive surgery.
How Mini Neck Lift Works
A mini neck lift typically involves:
- A small incision under the chin (submental area)
- Removal of excess fat (liposuction)
- Tightening of underlying muscles (platysma)
- Mild skin tightening for a smoother contour
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes about 1–2 hours.
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.

If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.
