Q:
I have a 90-year-old relative - extremely sharp, but with some minor illnesses (mild diabetes). She recently lost a good deal of weight and would like to have the excess sagging skin under her chin removed. At her age is this feasible?
Q:
I am considering a jowl lift. I have contacted numerous plastic surgeons who all said that a jowl lift is a facelift. I don't need a complete facelift. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could get a jowl lift done without a complete facelift or do you agree that all patients who want this require a full facelift?
Q:
My question is in regard to facelifts. I am particularly concerned with the "chicken" neck I have developed, while I don't feel the rest of my facial features are bothersome. Is it possible to just have the neck fixed or is it part of an entire facelift?
Q:
I have a very youthful face but the skin under my chin is starting to sag. Can I get it fixed without having a full facelift? Are there any nonsurgical ways to tighten that area?

Q:
I've heard about a Deep Plane Facelift that is performed deep under the facial muscles. Is this better than the standard facelift and more long lasting? Are there more complications, and is this a fairly common procedure among surgeons?
