Connecticut Plastic Surgeon Specializing in Neck Lift or Lower Facelift?

I've had "Smart Lipo" (non-suction) which did nothing at all to resolve my problem which is a "weak chin" and skin/tissue under my chin.

At 48, I am also now getting the jowls and am trying to find a local plastic surgeon with references from past patients.

I understand most have a consultation fee, which is fine with me, but I do want to spend my money more responsibly this time by doing more research. Could you please tell me how to find the right plastic surgeon for me that will be able to give me a jawline?

Treatment of neck and jawline

Your best bet is weight loss to help lose some of the fat located deep to the... more

Treating the fatty neck

I can see that you got nothing from Smartlipo and would have predicted that based on the amount of fat and loss of angularity in your neck. You have a strong chin but it looks soft to you because your neck angles from chin to chest rather than back and then down. What you need is to first be sure your weight is within 20 pounds of ideal for you. Next you need a cheek and neck lift to remove all the fat in the neck, tighten the muscles and redrape the skin and remove the excess... more

Neck lift or facelift will give you good result.

Hi. 1) You absolutely do not have a weak chin! 2) I wrote an article for RealSelf about how to pick a plastic surgeon (for neck lift or other cosmetic procedure) which I think you will find helpful. You can read it on my profile.

Surgery for neck

An excellent surgeon I know in Greenwich Ct is Dr. Jon Sherwyn. He is very meticulous and explains your options thoroughly. It is definitely worth a consultation with him. He also has an office in NYC.

The ASPS and ASAPS websites would be good starting points for qualified board certified plastic surgeons. Dr. David Bass may be a possibility. Consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to review your options.

Facial rejuvenation

Just from the one side view, it does not looklike you need a chin implant. However you do have jowls and a low slung neck which probably could use a little work to make it look better.
