LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dr. Lam, what is your opinion of the necklifts using dissolvable ribbons:

The article talks about ribbon necklifts superior to the old fashioned necklifts for people like me who have 'unfavorable anatomy' that is my adam apple is too forward. Two plastic surgeons confirmed that my problem with the neck is not fat, just the anatomy - a little recessed chin, adam apple too forward and maybe skin laxity. They suggested sliding genioplasty but we all agreed it is going to improve the are below the chin and the jaw line but is not going to resolve the problem 100%. Standard necklift doesn't seem to be able to help so I was wondering what is the advantage of ribbon necklift in my situation.

a ribbon necklift will NOT help that. it is just another way to secure the neck. now, if you are talking about a full sling that goes from side to side, it can help it a bit more but in my experience is absolutely dreadful. it feels very tight and unnatural. most men can't tolerate it. some women can because beauty is a higher priority but i still would not do them.
