Hi, I need help trying to find the right procedure for my neck and jawline. I'm a 38 year old male. I'm not sure if it is sagging skin or fat on my neck/. The skin seems tight where I can't pinch it like my skin on my hand, but i can pinch large areas of it but there doesn't feel like there's anything there like fat , so not sure if I need a facelift or lipsuction. I can provide photos. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Answer: Can I benefit from neck liposuction? From your photos, the short answer is absolutely, yes. At 38 years old you should still have great skin elasticity. Liposuction of the neck not only removes the excess fat, but it gets the remaining tissue to fibrose (or scar up) to the foundational base of the underchin and neck. In young individuals this works very well and avoids the need for a necklift or facelift. Older individuals that have lost skin elasticity and tone will not have such a good result.

CONTACT NOW Answer: You are probably a good candiate for chin liposuction Based on the photos, it does appear that you could benefit from some targeted liposuction of your chin area. You do not have a lot of fat, but it only takes a small amount of extra fat to give a fuller appearance to that area, It is hard to see from the photos, but it does appear that you have a small lower jaw and often we combine liposuction and a small chin implant to give a more contoured appearance. Seek a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon and see what they say.

Answer: Anterior deep plane neck lift Thank you for your enquiry and sharing your photographs. The volume under the chin and it is of concern to you consists of some fatty tissue situated under the skin, some Tissue situated deep to the platysma muscles, the volume of the digastric muscles and the volume of the lower part of the submandibular glands. Contouring the area to the characteristics that you are depicting in the fourth photograph involves reduction of all these contributions to the volume excess and can be carried out through a 3 cm access incision under the chin. There is no skin excess to address and therefore the facelift would not be of any benefit in your situation. There are no scars around the ears with this intervention

Answer: Recommend doing morpheus8 can help tighten the skin under the chin and reduced appearance of unwanted fat Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Neck Options Hello, hope you are well. Based on your age and appearance, skin laxity is unlikely to be the primary issue that needs to be addressed. Loss of neck and jawline contour is much more likely to be from subcutaneous and subplatysmal fat depots. Your best result would be with a neck lift to remove subplatysmal fat, along with subcutaneous liposuction and bipolar RF (i.e. NeckTite) to tighten the soft tissue envelope under the jawline. Good luck! Best,Dr. Tower
