There are multiple surgical techniques designed to enhance the contour of the neck and jawline. One of the most common approaches is submental liposuction. While liposuction is an excellent option for younger patients with good skin elasticity, it only removes fatty tissue. It does not address muscle laxity or excess skin.
For comprehensive rejuvenation, Dr. Totonchi offers advanced procedures such as submental lipectomy (fat removal) combined with platysmoplasty (muscle tightening)—often referred to as a deep neck lift. This procedure surgically removes localized fat beneath the chin and tightens the underlying platysma muscle. The result is a profoundly improved, sharper jawline angle that is highly effective at redefining the entire submental and neck area.
For specific patients, a submandibular gland excision may be included to further restore a youthful neck contour. In more advanced cases of aging, a combined facelift and deep neck lift may be recommended to achieve your goals.
Many individuals feel self-conscious about sagging or fullness under the chin, particularly when viewing their profile. A deep neck lift, performed at our fully equipped facilities in Cleveland, OH, directly reduces fullness and laxity. This procedure delivers immediate, visible results, restoring a sharper, more youthful jawline.

A submental lipectomy can be beautifully combined with other facial procedures—such as a facelift, genioplasty (chin enhancement), or submandibular gland excision—to maximize your overall aesthetic results. While a deep neck lift is highly effective on its own, combining it with other facial enhancements helps maintain a balanced, harmonious, and naturally youthful appearance across both the face and neck.
During a deep neck lift, a small, discreet incision is made in the submental area under the chin.
Some swelling and bruising are normal and expected during the initial healing phase. A draining tube might be used for the first few days recovery, While complications such as bleeding or hematoma formation are rare, other standard surgical risks include asymmetry or the potential need for minor revisional adjustments. Dr. Totonchi and our medical team will provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative instructions to support a safe, comfortable recovery.
