Why a chin assessment may include neck support

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

This ILCHI article links chin drooping and an under-chin fold through a shared assessment of muscle, skin, and soft-tissue support. It describes different plans for isolated muscle displacement, combined skin laxity, and simultaneous chin and neck concerns. The clinic's Folding Zero description includes intraoral access and, where selected, an under-chin incision with platysma support, while emphasizing the intended continuity of the profile rather than isolated correction of one point.

Planning the extent and direction of an endoscopic lift

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

In this ILCHI patient-education post, midface and lower-face heaviness are discussed as reasons to assess tissue position rather than choose a lift by name alone.

It also explains the clinic's stated consultation and follow-up process, including attention to incision hygiene and individual recovery responses.

Connecting chin support with the under-chin contour

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

This ILCHI article describes its Folding Zero approach as a combined assessment of chin position, soft-tissue support, and the neck's platysma muscle. It distinguishes muscle displacement alone from accompanying skin laxity and outlines intraoral or submental access according to the findings. The clinic presents coordinated treatment as an option when chin drooping and an indistinct under-chin contour occur together, rather than describing one identical operation for every patient.
