The
Weekend Facelift Or Submentoplasty
This procedure rejuvenates the chin and neck area without the
incisions utilized in a facelift and sometimes can give dramatic
results as seen in the photographs. Because the incisions,
dissection, recovery time and operating time is brief compared to
a regular face lift , it has been referred to in the media (ABC
20/20 news program, 1997) as the "weekend facelift".
The
Procedure
The lax tissues under the chin and near the midline of the neck
are reduced and tightened with a combination of surgery and
liposculpting . When a stronger chin profile is indicated, a
customized chin implant is designed and placed by Dr. Newman. This
procedure is performed under IV sedation and rarely requires
general anesthesia. Patients usually have a small one inch
incision under their chin in a natural skin crease which becomes
almost invisible with time. All patients go home after this
procedure and wear a special support garment for four to five
days. Most patients take Tylenol or stronger oral pain pill for
the first few days. While this procedure is best performed prior
to age 45 because of good skin elasticity, significant results can
also be achieved in more mature patients. |
