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: 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.

Are You a Candidate for Deep Neck Surgery?

A well-defined, elegant neck and jawline are signs of youth and beauty. However, as we age, the accumulation of fat and the prominence of the submandibular glands can create an undefined, less appealing neck contour. At FACES+, Dr. Steven R. Cohen offers a specialized procedure known as Deep Neck and Submandibular Gland Reduction to refine these areas, creating a smoother, more sculpted neck and jawline. With his extensive experience and innovative techniques, Dr. Cohen delivers results that enhance your natural beauty while maintaining the harmony of your facial features.

You may be a good candidate for a deep neck lift in San Diego at FACES+ if you are experiencing any of the following:

You have excess fullness or bulging in the neck area that detracts from a defined jawline.
Your submandibular glands are prominent, creating an undesirable contour in the neck.
You desire a more sculpted and youthful neck and jawline to enhance overall facial harmony.
You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
You are seeking a long-lasting solution to improve the appearance of your neck and jawline.
You have maintained a stable weight and are looking to address specific aesthetic concerns rather than weight loss.

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?

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.
