A chin implant and augmentation can improve the lax tissue under the chin by pulling up the tissues that are causing the sagging double chin. It can improve the neck lift even more than when a neck lift is done alone. A neck lift (Platysmaplasty, Neck Rejuvenation, Lower Face lift, Necklift, submentoplasty, double chin surgery, turkey gobbler surgery, neck enhancement) done well though can significantly tighten the neck. The key is how the platysma muscle is treated. This muscle is essential to how the neck looks. When doing a neck lift, the platysma must be tightened from just under the chin to the bottom of the neck area. This changes the structures of the neck for a better shape. There are also other adjunctive techniques that can be done to the fat, tissues and the muscle under the chin which can also improve the way the neck looks. Another very important key to tightening the neck is by making sure that the skin of the neck has a place to go. Elevating the skin to a certain degree is essential to allow the skin to shift to a more shapely appearance. All of this takes experience and knowledge on the part of the surgeon.
