Deep Neck Contouring Case 1001929

Many people consider deep neck contouring to address concerns about a full or undefined neck and jawline. This young patient expressed that her lower face and neck felt disproportionately full in comparison to her petite frame. She had previously tried a single session of Kybella®, but did not notice an improvement. Family traits also played a role in her decision, as she observed a similar fuller lower face and neck among relatives on her paternal side. She hoped to define her neck without changing the natural appearance of her cheeks.

Dr. Quatela discussed her goals in detail, focusing on preserving her buccal fat while targeting excess tissue and fullness below her jawline. He then proceeded with deep neck contouring, which included submental liposuction, platysmaplasty with subplatysmal fat excision, and digastric muscle resection. This tailored approach was designed to refine her chin and neck area without thinning areas she wished to keep.

After surgery, our patient noticed a more balanced profile and a shape that fit her build. She felt increased confidence knowing the results reflected her personal goals, not a generic standard. Recovery progressed smoothly, and her unique facial features remain intact while her lower face and neck now appear more defined.
