Neck Lift Before & After #3

This patient had a “cobra neck” deformity after a previous neck lift done elsewhere.

A “cobra neck” deformity is an unnatural contour that can sometimes develop after a neck lift or aggressive liposuction.

Instead of having a smooth, defined transition beneath the chin, the central neck can appear hollow or tight while the areas on either side look fuller. This creates a shape resembling a cobra’s hood.

Correcting this type of complication is a highly specialized and technically challenging procedure.

For this patient, Dr. Smith performed a revision neck lift with fat transfer to under eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lower face.

Now at 6 months post op, she is extremely happy with her new contours!
