Cervicoplasty (Neck contour)
Liposuction and Neck Contour Over time, fat tends to accumulate in the area between the neck and the chin. In these cases it is possible to remove excess fat with liposuction to better define the neck contour. This procedure also known as ' neck lift ' is also one of the best options for young adults who have a double chin effect, resulting in a more streamlined profile and a very natural appearance.
Cervicoplasty is a procedure that specializes in highlighting the chin and neck as opposed to ' full facelift ' rhytidectomy, which is why this surgery is also known as 'mini facelift'. It is important to note that cervicoplasty is not designed to treat signs of aging on the face, only on the neck. However, by firming the skin and removing excess oil, it definitely improves the appearance of the face in general.
