This case depicts a 47 year old woman who wished to improve the appearance of her neck and jawline.

Because I felt that her skin elasticity (i.e., the ability of the skin to "snap back") was excellent for her age, I performed ultrasound assisted liposuction to the neck and jowl region without a face lift. Her post-operative photographs show her at approximately two and a half months after surgery.

Ultrasound assisted liposuction can be utilized to address the cheek and jowl region as well as the neck.

Individuals who are candidates should have good skin elasticity and an excess of fat without a significant excess of skin.  Typically, individuals who are good candidates for this procedure are in their twenties and thirties and sometimes their early forties.  Once an individual is over the age of 45, it is rare that they do not look much better with at least a short scar face lift to address sagging skin and jowls.
