Ellevate Neck Contouring Before & After Case 67

The above patient sought Ellevate Neck Contouring in Santa Rosa to address moderate fullness beneath the chin, early onset of jowls, and reduced definition along the jawline. She noticed that tissue laxity and gland prominence were becoming more visible, even as her skin retained good elasticity. Because her skin maintained good elasticity, she was considered an ideal candidate for Ellevate.

Ellevate is a minimally invasive suture suspension procedure that targets the underlying platysma muscle and submandibular glands to enhance neck and jawline contours. For this patient, the technique supported the glands and provided better structure under the skin, creating a smoother and more defined neck. She experienced a well-tolerated recovery, returning to normal activities soon after the procedure.

The before and after photos above illustrate the improvement in jawline definition and reduction of under-chin fullness that can result from Ellevate Neck Contouring in Santa Rosa. Patients with good skin elasticity and isolated muscle or gland laxity respond especially well to this targeted intervention.
