Description
In a presentation on multimodal cosmetic rejuvenation focused on the neck, Dr. Shauna Flanagan emphasizes the importance of addressing neck aesthetics early, particularly in younger patients. She discusses various treatment methods, including submental fat reduction techniques like liposuction and deoxycholic acid injections, highlighting the effectiveness of combining treatments for better results. Dr. Flanagan explains the significance of incorporating neck treatments alongside facial procedures to avoid discrepancies in appearance. She dives into topics such as pigment issues, laxity, and volume loss, suggesting various fillers and skin boosters. Additionally, she addresses the efficacy of neurotoxins like Botox in neck rejuvenation, noting personal experiences and tailored approaches for different patient types. Dr. Flanagan concludes with advice on enhancing neck contours by evaluating the mandibular angle and jawline and reminds practitioners to start preventive care early. A key takeaway is her formula for patient satisfaction: results should outweigh factors like pain, downtime, and cost.
