Do I Need Neck Lipo or Neck Lift or Face Lift? (photo)

Here are my morphs done by a plastic surgeon

Questions: 1. Do I need a neck lipo or neck lift or face lift? 2. Do I have mouth protrusion(bi-max protrusion)? Is it severe needed to be corrected? 3. Do you agree with the implants? I am 32 male.

A: Neck lift vs neck lipo

I would recommend liposuction and chin implant. Be aware that you results may not replicate the morphs.

What Can I Expect From A Neck Lift Revision With Excess Skin and Scar Tissue?

I had a necklift 1 1/2 yrs ago. I had a wierd look right after under my chin, dr. said you need a vy plasty to remove more skin. Looked great for a week and then more of the same almost like a hinged look. Went to another dr. yesterday and he said I have a thick band of scar tissue under chin and excess skin. My dr. wants to redo and he is not even mentioning any of these problems. Dr. yesterday said this is tricky because of the scar tissue. Will this scar tissue cause me problems later?

A: Neck lift failure

It is very difficult to advise on this without hands on examination. It could be scar tissue, excess skin, residual fat, even muscle. The best approach would be based on these assessments. Seek yet another opinion.

A: Face and neck improvement

Morning,

Here's what I would say about what I can see in the photo without a physical exam.  I think you are relatively young (40 or less).  We'll take this area by area starting from the top:

1.  Maxilla and malar area:  Yes, this area is a little weak.  I would recommend malar/submalar implants for a nice improvement that would look something like your photo imaging.

2.  Your chin:  This would benefit from either genioplasty (cuts to the bone with advancement of the chin) or a chin implant.  The chin implant will be the easiest with less risk and a nice improvement.

3.  The neck & chin complex.  No matter what your do you should probably make the chin stronger.  Give your young age and good skin/tissue quality you could get a nice improvement of the neck and jawline with liposuction, preferably Smart Lipo.  The photo imaging you have created on your profile may not be possible with lipo or surgery if your hyoid bone is too low and forward but you can still get a great improvement.  Surgery for the neck would be more impressive but may not be worth the risk given your age and good candidacy for Smartlipo

Best of luck
