Synopsis

Recontouring the lower face in the younger patient often takes the form of chin augmentation and/or submental liposuction. With age, skin laxity needs to be addressed in order to achieve an optimal result. This clinic is designed to introduce the spectrum of submental liposuction, platysmaplasty, mini-lifts, complications and post-operative management.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe cosmetic problems and deformities that affect the lower face, their anatomic basis, and treatments that may be recommended in their treatment;
  2. Describe lower facial recontouring/rejuvenative surgical techniques in a step by step basis utilizing live surgical footage and PowerPoint presentation; and
  3. Describe the physiologic basis of wound healing and its relationship to post-op management. Describe typical post-operative patient course and care. Describe complications that may arise and their treatment.
