Standard double-chin liposuction treats only superficial fat beneath the skin. The V-neck Lift Program can address multiple layers, including the skin, superficial and deep fat, platysma muscle, salivary glands, and deeper muscles. It may suit patients who previously had liposuction with unsatisfactory results or whose concerns originate in deeper structures.
Results often last longer than double-chin liposuction alone because the procedure addresses several layers, including deep fat, the platysma muscle, and structures beneath the chin. Longevity varies with skin quality, age, weight changes, and postoperative care.
Swelling generally begins to decrease during the first week, and many patients can return to light work in about 7–14 days. Strenuous work and vigorous exercise should usually be avoided for the first 2–4 weeks, according to the surgeon’s advice.
In selected cases, yes. A person of normal weight may have a double chin caused by deep fat, a lax platysma muscle, or prominent salivary glands. The surgeon will assess the chin and neck structures and design an individualized plan.
This depends on the extent of surgery and the patient’s health. When multiple layers or additional procedures are involved, the surgeon and anesthesia team will determine the safest and most appropriate anesthesia method.
The surgeon generally reduces only an appropriate portion when indicated, rather than removing the entire gland. Other salivary glands continue to produce saliva. The need and safety of this step must be assessed carefully for every patient.
In selected cases, they can be planned together to harmoniously address the lower face, neck, and facial laxity in one operation. The surgeon will always evaluate health, operative time, and individual suitability first.
Pricing varies according to the concerns being treated, neck anatomy, surgical scope, and any combined procedures. An in-person consultation is recommended so the surgeon can create an appropriate plan and provide case-specific pricing.
