Do you have a double chin or loose skin that you want to get rid of? Do you want to improve your jawline and neck contour but don’t know the best procedure to meet your goals? If this is you, check out this video! Here is a general framework: If you are in your 20s and 30s, have good skin quality without laxity, and have excess fat underneath your chin and neck region, you would benefit from neck liposuction alone. If you are in your 40s or 50s and beyond, have loose skin deflation and descent to the soft tissue of the face and neck, then you would be a good candidate for a face lift anf neck lift. There are skin tightening devices on the market that can help with mild skin laxity and can be performed with liposuction. But if you have moderate to severe skin laxity, then a neck lift would be a better option for you. Posted with permission.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.
