There are many young patients who have never had a right angle under their jawline and would benefit from the Beverly Hills Necklift. Their full neck is primarily related to the orientation of the muscles that form the floor of the mouth and, to a lesser degree, fatty deposits and/or prominent salivary glands or hypertrophied muscle.

To correct this deformity, a combination of several techniques are used. Liposuction, creation of muscle flaps, excision of muscle, transection of muscular attachments, suspension sutures or partial salivary gland resection are  the primary approaches. The procedure need not be performed with any additional facial surgery and can have a dramatic effect on the overall appearance.
