Neck Lift: Q&A

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift and Or/chin Implant? (photo)
I am a 28 year old female with no definition between my chin and neck. I could probably lose about 25-30 pounds, but I have noticed this trait even when weighing that much less. It's also genetic; I notice it in my relatives. If not a neck lift and/or chin implant, is there another procedure that would solve this problem? Thank you.

NECK LIFT AND OR/CHIN IMPLANT?
If you lose those extra pounds that you mentioned, you might be surprised with the improved definition of your neck. At that point you may only need a little liposuction of the neck region.

Neck lift not the only answer
Achieving your desirable weight will be important in achieving a desirable neck contour. It is too aggressive to consider neck lift at this point because significant contour benefits can be achieved with minimally invasive liposuction and additional tightening of the underlying musculature can be achieved with internal suspension or sometimes referred to as "waddle" neck procedure.
Surgery should only be considered when the desired result cannot be achieved with...

Necklift or chin implant for definition of neck.
Necklift or chin implant for definition of neck is a good question and the answer for you is neither. Spend the money on Jenny, etc. and shed the weight first to get the best result and you probably won't need surgery.

Weight Management Prior to Cosmetic Surgery
Before electing for cosmetic surgery of your face or neck, I would encourage you to focus on weight loss first. You may find enough change that you won't need a cosmetic procedure. At that point you can make a better decision upon seeing a qualified surgeon in your area.

Decision for necklift is made when patient is at ideal body weight
It is always best to be at your ideal body weight prior to deciding whether undergoing a neck lift or neck liposuction is needed. A neck lift is a comprehensive sculpting and defatting of the neck with a platysmaplasty. A retrusive chin is best treated with a chin implant and can be done irrespective of weight gain or loss.

Liposuction of the neck without or with a chin implant can dramatically improve the neckline
First off, if you feel that you're overweight and are committed to losing the 25-30 pounds you'll be much better served by focusing on this prior to considering any sort of facial implant or other surgical procedure. You'll feel better, look better, live longer and (best case scenario) be happy enough with your neckline that you will no longer be interested in changing it surgically. In that case, you can put your hard earned money to use in other ways. If you get to a stable goal body...

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift and Or/chin Implant?
Aesthetically, to measure the chin, a straight profile view is required. An imaginary vertical line is extended down from the lower lip and in men...the chin should hit this line. In women, the chin should be approximately 3/8's of an inch behind that line to be balanced with the lower face.
The excess fat from the face and neck, if not lost with weight reduction, could be removed with micro-liposuction and at 26 years old, the skin should shrink and not...

Liposuction of the neck works.
Hi.
Of course you need a thorough exam of your neck, but from the photos, it looks like liposuction is all you need. You certainly don't need a chin implant.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift and Or/chin Implant?
If you are truly going to lose weight Than do it first to see what your appearance will be like. If you can lose 10 pounds I bet a little Smart lipo and a small chin implant might result in a nice appearance. But you need in person examination to determine this.

What will improve the appearance of my neck?
Is is extraordinarily unusual that a 28 year old would benefit from a neck lift procedure. 25-30 pound weight loss would likely give you significant improvement in your jawline definition. It is possible that you could lose the weight and still have some excess fat under the chin. If this is the case you would benefit from lipocountouring of the neck. It is difficult to determine from the pictures provided whether or not a chin implant would be of benefit.
I would advise...
