Many of my patients from Southern California who get referred to our practice by previous patients request to do something about their necks. This is one of the most common complaints we hear from both men and women in their early forties to late seventies. For many individuals the issue is excess fat under the chin, which creates what we call a "Double chin." The jaw lines and neck are not well defined, and the per­son's face just appears to be connected to the neck area. In some instances, the issue is loose and droopy neck and jowl skin and not excess fat. This is referred to a "turkey neck." Some individuals also have concern about circular wrinkles around the neck, which I call "ring wrinkles."

A turkey neck or double chin in young people is most commonly treated by liposuction. The results from neck liposuction are significantly influenced by the quality of the overlying skin. In younger patients with good taut or thick skin will respond by shrinking and adapting upward to a less obtuse neck-jaw angle. Loose or wobbly skin may shrink somewhat but it will be irregular with band and cords apparent to the eye. When neck skin is loose, the liposuction procedure must be combined with some type of neck lifting or neck tightening procedure called platysmaplasty. One often overlooked consideration in neck liposuction is that of the chin. Should the chin be brought forward or is its projection adequate where it is currently? In the spirit of what one is trying to achieve by removing fat from the neck…a more evident jaw and neck line…the chin should not be forgotten. In some cases, it can be a good complement to the look that liposuction creates.

This patient is 7 weeks post face and neck lift in this before and after picture. She was referred to our Newport Beach office by one of her friends. She wanted a soft and good face lift that would look and feel natural, and was in harmony with her other facial features. She wanted to avoid the old “wind tunnel look” or “operated look”.  She had seen other individuals who had cosmetic facial surgery with Dr. Sadati with beautiful improvements that looked pleasing, but also fit those individual’s other facial features. Dr. Sadati recommended her a natural lift that would fit her needs and lifestyle.

In this photo, patient is shown 6 weeks post operative a mini facelift that is much less invasive than the traditional face lifts, and with a much quicker recovery time.  A procedure that has been mastered by Dr. Sadati, a facial plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California.  As it is apparent in the before picture, there are early signs of aging in the lower face area.  In this six weeks post operative picture improvements are made to the sagging jowls and neck area.  This mini facelift procedure was performs while this patient was sedated with only oral medication and local anesthesia was used to numb the face, making the recovery time very quick.  She was able to return to work within a few days.  Therefore, it addressed the needs of her with busy lifestyles and esthetic desire.  This mini facelift procedure has long lasting results and integrates the best features of the traditional face and neck lift.  Dr. Sadati performs his signature lift in his Newport Beach Surgical Center (in the heart of Orange County.)
