Plastic surgery of the neck, performed by liposuction alone or a neck lift procedure, treats the subdermal causes of aesthetic issues. Typically, the structures are most affected by gravity and must be tightened and trimmed to reshape the neck. Common concerns are a double chin (submental fat), softened contours of the neck, visible vertical bands of the neck, and muscle and skin laxity.

Modern plastic surgery has gotten to a point where serious complications are quite rare. This is great news—the safety of even in-depth procedures is now extremely high, and patients are enjoying less painful recovery periods. However, plastic surgery is still surgery, and patients should know what to look out for during the healing process, in case complications do arise.

Good facial balance greatly improves the overall facial aesthetics, and is achieved when the features are proportional and work in harmony with one another.

While many plastic surgery procedures are geared toward anti-aging, many others are intended to improve overall facial aesthetics, balance, and harmony. One procedure that’s popular for helping to bring balance to the face? Chin implant surgery.
