Abstract
Improvement of the neck without face lift is possible through proper chin projection and adequate debulking or tightening of the submental area. For chin augmentation, the author prefers to insert a wraparound anatomic silicone implant using the "no-touch" technique. Lipoplasty with or without fat excision is often sufficient to correct the neck of patients with a minimal to moderate submental bulge and satisfactory skin tone. For patients with large fatty necks and contour problems, a full neckplasty will achieve excellent results.
