Chin Implants Before & After Case 1485

This 30 year old patient complained of a longstanding fullness in her neck which lacked contour and a weak chin. After examining the patient, Dr. Parker explained to the patient that she had excess pre platysmal fat as well as subplatysmal fat in her neck. He continued, that the pre platysmal fat could be treated with liposuction and the subplatysmal fat by direct excision through a small submental incision. A platysmaplasty would then be performed to tighten the medial platysma muscles. Because the patient had good skin tone, additional incisions would not be needed. In summary, the patient would have a minimal incision neck lift which could be performed under local anesthesia. At the same time, a chin implant could be inserted through the same incision to build out her chin to complement her improved jawline and neck. The patient loved the plan and wished to proceed. The surgery discussed by Dr. Parker was subsequently performed several weeks later. The patient said the procedure was easy, the recovery quick and painless. She is thrilled by the significantly improved appearance of her chin, jawline and neck; she says her self confidence is soaring.
