I'm 22 years old but have always had a sort of round chin, even in pictures from when I was a young child, and despite being otherwise very lean and tall. It produces the look of a slight double chin from the front, and gives me an odd, rounded jawline from the side. If I sort of pull back there toward my jaw and hold it with my fingers, I have a much nicer, straight profile so I don't think it's something wrong with my bone structure. What procedure might be an option for something like this?
Neck liposuction can improve the concerns you describe. Your age is favorable as your skin elasticity should allow for excellent skin redraping and tightening.
Other issues to consider is you chin projection which looks good in your photo. In people who also have a recessive chin a chin implant can also help with improve the overall neck contour.
Why would a chin liposuction be a good choice for someone who is losing the elasticity on the edges of their chin and their neck?
Liposuction is only to remove excess fat. It only works well if the skin over the fat is strong and elastic. If it is lax, the liposuction will only make it worse. If the skin is already getting lax, there is no good role for liposuction.
I live in S. Louisiana and want to improve my chin area. I am 42 & of ideal wt. Is there any way to improve my profile other than a necklift/facelift? I've had a couple of consults & have been rec'd everything from Ultherapy to smartlipo (with chin implant) to a mini or full facelift. I'd really like to consider the lipo option but am worried about saggy skin. I have no problem with the mini facelift option other than the quote seems disproportionate to my needs. Advice? Thanks!
Fat isn't really your problem here but loose skin and muscle is. If you have gone to a physician who promises you improvement through liposuction such as smart lipo or any of those catchy phrases you should run away.
Your best result is going to come from tightening the skin and muscle, the real problem here. While there are a few mildly different approaches here they all end up with some type of incision around the earlobe and behind your ear. Some call it a neck lift, others call it a platysmal sling but the same approach and end goal is used by everyone doing this. Since your face doesn't appear to have aged as much as your neck this is a great way to get the youthfulness above the jaw in sync with what's going on below the jaw!.
