Achieve a sculpted neck and jawline to enhance your profile by undergoing Deep Neck and Submandibular Gland Reduction, expertly performed by Dr. Steven R. Cohen at FACES+.

What Are the Submandibular Glands and Why Reduce Them?

The submandibular glands are salivary glands located beneath the jaw, responsible for producing saliva to aid digestion. While these glands are crucial, they can become enlarged and more prominent in some individuals, whether due to aging, genetics, or weight changes. This prominence can lead to visible fullness or a “bulging” neck, which can be restored with the surgery for sharp, defined jawline and neck contours.

Deep Neck and Submandibular Gland Reduction is performed by reducing the size of the glands and addressing excess neck fat, to create a more refined and aesthetically pleasing neck profile. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who seek a more sculpted and youthful appearance in the neck and jawline area.

Custom Neck Lift Surgery: Say Goodbye to Under-Chin Bulging

When combined with a neck lift, submandibular gland reduction goes beyond the removal of excess skin and fat and tightening of the deeper neck structure. This procedure can prevent the appearance of under-chin bulging and ensure a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Cohen, removing the submandibular glands does not inhibit daily life. It can significantly enhance the results of your neck lift, providing more predictable and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

What is the Surgical Procedure?

During Deep Neck and Submandibular Gland Reduction, Dr. Cohen makes small, discreet incisions under the chin or behind the ears to access the submandibular glands and the underlying neck tissues. He carefully reduces the size of the glands and may remove excess fat to enhance and slim the neck contour. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The meticulous surgical techniques employed by Dr. Cohen allow you to restore an elegant, refined neck and jawline.

After the Procedure, What to Expect?

After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within one to two weeks. Most individuals can return to normal activities within two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks longer. Your healing progress will be carefully monitored, and you will have several follow-up appointments. As the swelling diminishes, the full benefits of the procedure become visible, revealing a smoother, more defined neck and jawline that enhances your overall facial aesthetics.

Deep Neck Surgery FAQs

Will deep neck surgery make my jawline look sharper?

Yes, by reducing deep fat and adjusting muscles, deep neck surgery can enhance jawline definition, giving the neck and chin a more sculpted, sharp appearance.

What is deep neck surgery, and how is it different from a standard neck lift?

Deep neck surgery targets deeper neck structures, including excess fat and enlarged glands, to achieve significant contouring that a standard neck lift might not address.

Does deep neck surgery leave visible scars?

Incisions are generally placed under the chin and around the ears, making scars well-hidden. Skilled surgeons like Dr. Cohen prioritize minimal, discreet scarring for natural-looking results.

Will my neck movements feel restricted after deep neck surgery?

Initially, you may experience some tightness or stiffness in the neck, which improves as swelling subsides and tissues heal. Gentle stretches may be recommended during recovery.
