Liposuction of the jawline and under the chin does great for many patients.

Liposuction of the submentum (under chin) and jawline does great for many patients and is easy to undergo for about $2500-3250 under local anesthesia and you can drive yourself home and be back to work in 1 day. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Aggressive Jaw, Submental Lipo Vs. Mini-Facelift

Try the lipos first, less invasive for a good result. Especially in your age group. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski

Chin fat, neck fat

An exam is needed to determine where is the fat, above or below the muscle or in both. Depending on the findings you may need only appropriate liposuction when the fat is under the skin, above the nuscle. If the fat is under the muscle then a submentral incision is made to remove the fat under the muscle and repairing the muscle.

Liposuction with a chin implant

Hi, From your pics, I think that aggressive liposuction and a chin implant is the answer. Minifacelift is not appropriate for you at this point. Best. Dr.S.

Liposuction

Very few "aggressive" things are beneficial in the long term. In your case, liposuction of the neck would give you a leaner more youthful look. I would defer the Facelift for when you have nose to mouth lines and jowling. Dr. Peter Aldea

Lipo vs minifacelift

In your case, because you look like you have good skin and a modest amount of fat, lipo would be my recommendation, but not "aggressive" as that is how you get into all the lipo problems.

Excess Neck Fat Can Be Treated w/MicroLiposuction

From the photo, there does appear to be excess fat in the neck area which could be treated with micro-liposuction of the submental area and entire neck...just below the jaw line. You do not appear to have jowls, which would be an early indication for a minimum incision Face Lift. However, for the past 20 years, I have found that removing fat from the face of patients 40 years old or older typically results in sagging skin and as such, if you are that age...you might consider... more

Liposuction is a Good Way to Start

Liposuction of the neck is an excellent way to remove fat from below the jawline. It usually is performed under local anesthesia with, or without sedation. Skin retraction is usually excellent, especially in younger patients. Liposuction first is an excellent first step since direct fat excision in the neck (submentoplasty) is an additional procedure to a mini-facelift. In most cases it is best to start with a closed, more minimal procedure that can be followed up as desired years later... more

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction works best in younger patients. Based on the picture shown, my first inclination would be to recommend aggressive neck liposuction.

Options for Fullness Under the Chin

Hi wkc073406- Liposuction would be a good first option. Another option would be a submentoplasty, which would remove any fat from under / or between the platysma muscles and tighten the platyma muscles, in addition to the liposuction. Sincerely, Tom Kaniff

Try the liposuction first

Thanks for the picture. If you were my patient I would tel l you to try liposuction first. I think you simply need to set reasonable expectations with your surgeon. If your unhappy after a full year; the cost, scar and recovery of adding a mini-facelift may be warranted.
