That sagging skin under the chin - sometimes referred to as a "wattle" - can be the result of problem fat, weakened muscle, loose skin or a combination of all three conditions. It can also be a real pain in the neck, making it uncomfortable to wear the types of clothes and jewelry that you like. Thankfully, with a neck lift, this sagging skin can also be easily reduced or even removed, in the process, providing a more defined jaw line. Many women and men having a neck lift combine this procedure with a San Diego face lift in order to full rejuvenate the appearance of their lower face.
