Like many, you probably take excellent care of your complexion, using a myriad of cleansers, moisturizers, serums, retinols, and more. But do you extend that rigorous skincare routine down to your neck?
The skin on your neck is especially thin, making it more delicate than most skin on your face. This tissue also contains fewer collagen and elastin fibers, giving it little strength to withstand aging, weight fluctuations, sun damage, and more.
After years of managing these internal and external forces, your skin may slacken, further weighed down by fat deposits and muscle. As a result, your jawline might appear to soften and your neck to droop.
With targeted treatments at Turkle & Associates and Phases Skin Care & Laser Center, you can achieve a more graceful slope to your neck. Read on to learn more about your surgical and nonsurgical options for neck contouring near Westfield.
Charting a Course for Treatment
Before scheduling your treatment at Turkle & Associates or Phases Skin Care & Laser Center, our providers invite you in for a one-on-one consultation. During this conversation, they listen attentively to your concerns and medical history, then assess your neck to determine the optimal path forward.
Evaluating Your Care Options
When deciding whether to shape your care with a surgical or nonsurgical approach, we consider:
- Your overall health
- Your ability to commit to a series of treatments
- Your lifestyle
- The extent of your treatment goals
Your aesthetic expectations and anatomy naturally inform the complexity and depth of your treatment plan. If you are interested in more dramatic, lasting enhancements, your practitioner might advise surgery. Should you want to foster more subtle changes to your neck and jawline, we can tailor your care with nonsurgical treatments.
Nonsurgical Treatments
We can create a sleeker, smoother transition from your jaw to your neck using popular treatments such as:
- Kybella: Your provider places strategic injections of Kybella, a proven formula that contains deoxycholic acid. This injectable breaks down the fat cells below your chin, improving definition along your jawline.
- CoolSculpting Elite: We can fit a small CoolSculpting applicator to the submental area, delivering powerful cooling technology to freeze and permanently damage the fat cells responsible for a fuller chin.
- EVERESSE: Ideal for addressing loose, slack skin around your neck, the EVERESSE handpiece sends radiofrequency (RF) energy into the targeted skin. The thermal RF heats the tissue, inducing skin-firming collagen and elastin production.
Surgical Procedures
For more advanced sculpting, our dual board-certified plastic surgeons can shape your profile surgically.
- Combined facelift and neck lift: Your surgeon strategically tightens your facial and neck muscles, removes unwanted fat deposits, and repositions the surrounding skin to reveal a more defined, lifted appearance.
- Chin liposuction: Ideal for addressing jowls and a softened jawline, your surgical team can precisely suction out the pockets of fat contributing to a sagging look.
Carve Out a More Defined Profile
