I'm a young male of a normal weight (BMI of 23) that has a double chin problem. I'm wondering if the cause of my double chin is simply excess fat deposits that needs lipo, or because of a smaller lower jaw? I have a profile photos which might help. 1st shows my normal profile with the excess fat showing. 2nd is me flexing my neck muscle, this makes the excess fat disappear. 3rd is be pushing my bottom teeth over my front to align my jaw properly, this fixes my double chin as well. Thank you
Answer: Chin Implant or Genioplasty with Liposuction
If you have enough fat to suction, liposuction is reasonable, but either a chin implant or osseous genioplasty would give the most significant improvement.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sometimes it could be the Bones
Thank you for your picture series. You have answered your own question. Your best improvement is with a lower jaw advancement surgery. This improves you neck/chin/jaw aesthetics and addresses your lower and upper jaw skeletal alignment which will improve your dental function and maintain your dental and jaw joint health. See a BC plastic surgeon who has experience with these procedures or see a BC oral and maxillofacial surgeon

Answer: Suture Suspension Necklift for Obtuse Neck Thank you for your photos and question. You have very effectively demonstrated with photos the effect of having an obtuse neck. It is a result of the level of muscle insertion on the bones of the neck. Liposuction or a chin implant is not the answer. A suture suspension neck lift is the answer. This procedure is very effective in significantly improving the contour of necks such as yours. Consult a surgeon with significant expertise with this procedure. See link below. Good luck.

Answer: Jaw surgery or lipo?
Liposuction of the chin/neck area can yield a fantastic result. This can be combined with a chin implant to further enhance the appearance of the jawline. I would recommend a consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who uses computer imaging software. He/she can morph a photo of you and give you an idea of how the final result may appear. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.

Answer: Do I Need Jaw Surgery or Lipo?
Great posted photos but over the internet very hard to determine which operative choices would be best. seek IN PERSON evaluations. My guess would be to try sub mental smart lipo+lipo plus a small chin implant.
