Face and neck lift surgery will tighten your neck and thus can also make underlying structures more prominent. So if your glands are sagging or prominent they can be more visible. In order to check whether you have this risk just pull the skin of your neck so to see if the gland will be more prominent or not following surgery. Please consider the dual plane extended SMAS face and neck lift technique as it is the GOLD STANDARD and which will best camouflage a sagging or prominent submandibular gland.
