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?
A:
It is possible to lift the neck if you only have excess skin below your jaw line. If your facial skin is also lax, doing a neck lift only (without an incision behind the ears) can cause pleating or bunching of the skin just in front of the earlobe. You may also get a non-harmonious appearance if your neck appears youthful and your face looks old & tired. The overall outcome should be the most important factor when making your decision about facial rejuvenation.
