San Diego men and women experiencing sagging skin under their chins have a way to experience positive, subtle change with very little downtime. It's called a neck lift, and the really great thing about it and all plastic surgery in San Diego is you get to ask and answer the question: "might it help?"

You'll maybe miss a bit of work (typically, full recovery is 1 to 2 weeks). You certainly won't miss the loose skin. And, no one has to know. Consider San Diego plastic surgeon Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS - you can meet with him when you request your Complimentary Consultation online

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.
