01 / TARGETED ANATOMY
Short incision.
Direct platysma tightening.
Unlike full extended facelifts, the Mini Neck Lift focuses specifically on the cervicomental angle and submental bands:
Hidden Incisions: Minimal retroauricular micro-incisions with virtually imperceptible scars
Platysma Tightening: Structural tightening of lax platysma muscles to eliminate turkey neck and bands
Jawline Definition: Carving a crisp mandibular angle and resolving submental fullness
Submental Liposuction: Targeted ultrasonic fat clearance for an agile, youthful neckline
02 / CANDIDATE EVALUATION
Is Mini Neck Lift
right for you?
Best suited for patients with mild to moderate submental fullness, platysmal banding, or jawline blunting who do not yet require a full mid-face facelift. Can be combined with deep periosteal lifting or structural injectables for complete harmony.
- Ideal for resolving neck horizontal bands and early skin sagging
- Significantly reduced operative duration and swelling
- Patients typically resume daily social activities within 7–10 days
03 / PLANNING & RECOVERY
Smooth recovery.
In Shanghai.
Suture removal takes place on Day 7 in Shanghai. Sleeping in an elevated head posture for the first 2 weeks and wearing a soft chin strap at night optimizes definition.
