The exact placement of the incisions and sequence of events depends on your facial structure. If the neck needs work, a small incision may also be made under the chin. In general, Dr. Bermant will separate the skin from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be trimmed or suctioned from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. Dr. Bermant then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess.
Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions.
Metal clips may be used on the scalp. Following surgery, a small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect there. Your head will then be wrapped loosely in bandages to minimize bruising and swelling. If you like what you see and have learned here, call our office for a consultation .
