A mini neck lift is a less involved procedure than a full neck lift, which addresses just the neck and, to some extent, the jawline. The incisions will be hidden behind the ear and into the hairline. Dr. Maas will perform liposuction through a tiny incision under the chin to remove fatty deposits in the area and perform platysmaplasty to address bonds in the neck. The loose skin of the neck will be elevated by gently pulling the skin on each side to return youthful contours. To envision what a mini neck lift might look like on you, stand in front of a mirror and gently pull back the sides of the neck.
