Laser Liposuction or Neck Lift may be required to remove excess fat under chin and rejuvenate neck
Several options are availble to remove excess fat under the chin and tighten sagging neck skin. An examination by a good Plastic Surgeon should help you decide which procedure is best for you.
Generally speaking, if the main problem is excess fat under the chin or "double chin", then Laser Liposuction often produces excellent results (see photos in link below.)
The benefit of Laser Liposuction is that the heat from the laser also tightens loose skin which helps...

Liposuction of the neck and chin may be all you need.
Hi!
Of course, it depends on the individual anatomy, but at your age, liposuction of the neck and chin may give you a lot of improvement with very little surgery.
If the skin is too loose, then you may also need a neck lift.

Fat and Skin below the Neck
Hi,
What you are describing is most likely treatable with a limited liposuction and a minilift. The fat can be sucked out with liposuction and the skin redrapped with a minilit. The cost of the procedure can range from $6500 to $000 depending on how much work needs to be done.
You can look at the links below where I describe my version of the minilift.
Best,
Dr. S

Lose or fat neck and chin requires individualized diagnosis and treatment
While it may seem obvious that the problem under your chin is excess fat and loose skin, in reality, the best solution is not as simple as isolated liposuction usually requires a more thorough understanding on the surgeon's part.
The area under your chin is built in layers like your belly - skin on the surface, then a layer of fat that can be liposuctioned under that, then a paired muscle (platysma) which loosens with age, then a deeper layer of tough, fibrous fat under that, and finally...

Necklift is The Best Treatment for Sagging Neck
A necklift along with neck liposuction gives the best result. It is similar to facelift but scar (incision) is not as long and does not extend in front of the ear to the upper hairline. Recovery is about one week.

A short scar facelift with neck liposuction may provide you with the best facial rejuvenation.
Your age, and your description leads me to think that a short scar facelift with neck liposuction would be an option for you to explore. If your neck looks old, then liposuction alone will not likely suffice.
I'm not a big fan of isolated neck lift procedures, since your whole lower face and neck age at the same time. A short scar facelift will address your neck, jowls, and midface leaving you with the most natural look.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Neck lift for sagging skin of neck and double chin
A neck lift may entail a liposuction, muscle tightening or suspension, and/or skin removal. Furthermore, optimum results may require a face lift (upper/lower) and/or fat grafting, and/or chin implant placement or jaw surgery, and/or skin resurfacing procedure. A neck lift by itself may not produce your desired result. During the consultation we may determine that other procedures are better suited for your optimal outcome.
The procedure(s) to be performed is a complex decision process...
