The nose can be altered in a number of ways, including the angle at which it projects away from the face, its size, and shape.

Plastic surgery of the neck, performed by liposuction alone or a neck lift procedure, treats the subdermal causes of aesthetic issues.

Common concerns are a double chin (submental fat), softened contours of the neck, visible vertical bands of the neck, and muscle and skin laxity.
