Neck Lift

Over time, the skin loses laxity, leading to loose, hanging skin on various parts of the body, including the neck. Commonly known as a “turkey wattle,” this issue can create a less than desirable appearance. Neck lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin on the neck and chin and tightens the remaining skin for a tighter and smoother appearance. Dr. Raj makes small incisions that are strategically placed around the ears and/or under the chin. He is also careful when tightening the skin to avoid an overly tight appearance. Following neck lift, you can expect a well-defined yet natural-looking jaw line and neck.

Kybella

Kybella is a new injectable procedure and the first of its kind to remove submental fat (also known as a “double chin”) without incisions or surgery. This non-surgical treatment uses a naturally occurring molecule in the body to destroy fat cells in the chin area. Once destroyed, the fat cells cannot return, and as a result, the neck will appear slender and more attractive. Four to six treatment sessions are typically needed to achieve the best results.

Botox

Botox is the most popular injectable treatment performed to treat fine lines, creases and wrinkles on the face, as well as neck bands that form over time. When treating the neck, Dr. Raj injects small amounts of Botox to temporarily paralyze the muscles underneath the skin, preventing them from contracting. This in turn causes the lines on the neck to smooth out, lessening their appearance. Botox can be completed in one convenient 30-minute treatment session. To maintain results, repeat sessions are required.

Surgical Options

Facelift is considered to be the gold standard in facial rejuvenation as it addresses multiple aging concerns at once by trimming excess fat and skin and re-draping the skin of the face. Facelift eliminates wrinkles, hollow pockets and sagging skin, creating a younger-looking and smoother appearance.

Do you constantly look tired or exhausted due to puffy eyelids or under-eye bags? Eyelid surgery restores an energetic and youthful look to the eyes by removing sagging skin on the upper eyelids and reducing the appearance of “bags” on the lower eyelids. If necessary, eyelid surgery can be combined with another procedure (e.g., facelift, brow lift) for more rejuvenating results.

If an overly large, asymmetrical nose causes you to be self-conscious, rhinoplasty can help. By reshaping or resizing the nose, rhinoplasty can bring harmony and symmetry to your overall facial appearance.

Non-Surgical Options

Has years of squinting or smiling created prominent crow’s feet and other wrinkles on your face? Botox minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles, instantly creating a softer and younger look. Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can also treat wrinkles and have the added benefit of filling in hollow pockets in the face for a fuller and smoother appearance.

Are your selfies plagued by an unsightly double chin? Kybella is a new and innovative injectable treatment designed to dissolve submental fat. With a few treatment sessions (typically four to six over the course of several months), Kybella can turn a poorly defined chin into a sleek and slender jawline.
