Mini Neck Lift in La Jolla, CA | Malone Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Mini Neck Lift Procedure

A mini neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and remove sagging skin in the neck and under the chin. The primary goal is to reposition soft tissues, redefine the jawline, and create a smoother, more youthful contour. Unlike a traditional neck lift, this procedure involves smaller incisions, condensed procedural work, and an abbreviated recovery time.

Procedure Details

During a mini neck lift, Dr. Malone typically performs the following steps:

• Creates small incisions under the chin and behind the ear
• Removes excess fat through targeted liposuction
• Tightens the platysma muscle to create a smooth appearance
• Lifts and removes loose skin behind the ears
• Closes incisions with precision stitches

Ideal Candidates for Mini Neck Lift

Patients are excellent candidates for a mini neck lift if they:

• Are in good overall health
