Cosmetic surgery of the neck as an office procedure.
A simple office procedure to eliminate permanently double chin deformity and senile neck cords and with nearly invisible scars is described. Postoperative complications are mitigated by the use of autogenous fat grafts and constant aspiration of the wound cavity both during and after surgery. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities in several days.
