No face lift at age 32!

Your best return on investment will likely be from neck liposuction, submentoplasty, chin implant, and fat grafting to the cheeks. The simulations may be a bit unrealistic.

Neck Lipo in a Younger Patient

Based on your photos, you would benefit from a liposuction of your neck. Your skin quality most likely is quite good and I would expect you to have a good result. You do not need a neck lift. Orthognatic surgery is quite an undertaking for a purely esthetic indication. You could benefit from a chin implant, and either a structural fat graft to your cheeks, or appropriate size and style of cheek implants.

Neck lift vs neck lipo

I would recommend liposuction and chin implant. Be aware that you results may not replicate the morphs.

Neck liposuction and chin implant

Thank you for your question and the photos. Yes, it appears that with the recommendations you received, you may get benefit in the appearance of your facial proportions. The chin implant and sub-mental, neck liposuction will go a long way as a start. It all depends to what length and what extent you are willing to go for what some would say is relatively minor improvement. No, I do not think that you need a facelift. Also, know that prediction tracings and images are... more

Neck lift or liposuction

In a young person with good skin elasticity, a little submental liposuction should accomplish what you want in the neck. I also agree with a chin implant. In the cheeks and midface, you need volume. Either cheek implants or even better would he fat grafting to the midface. I would favor fat grafting as you can more selectively place the fat exactly where you want the volume.

Liposuction, Facelift, or Necklift

Because of your youth I would recommend neck liposuction and a chin implant. With that approach we would be relying on contraction of the skin after reducing the neck volume. If you are not satisfied with the result a neck lift may be necessary. In your morphs it also looks like fillers or fat were placed in the grooves at the lower eyelid margin adjacent to your nose.

Should I get neck lipo?

Your pictures reveal a retrusive chin as well as excess submental fat. In combination, these both diminish the defintion of the jawline. I would recommend that you keep it simple and choose the options that will give you the best results, are least invasive, and have the least amount of downtime. In my opinion lipocontouring of the neck and a chin implant would fulfill the above criterion. Lipocontouring of the neck will remove the excess fat and enhance the jawline. A chin implant will... more

Submental liposuction the simple solution

An Xray will best answer your question regarding maxillary protrusion, and will provide more information regarding the relationship between your upper and lower jaw and the skull base. This would be essential in patients entertaining the possibility of jaw surgery. Younger patients will usually not be best served by a face or necklift. Liposuction of the neck with or without platysmal plication and a chin implant would be a reasonable solution.

Chin implant and neck and chin liposuction would work well for you

With minimal surgery and limited downtime I think you would see a marked improvement in your appearance by having liposuction of the neck and chin as well as a chin implant put in. The chin implant will improve the aesthetic balance of your profile. Some fat transfer or fillers in the malar region and under lids would also be beneficial in making you have a more youthful appearance and not look tired. I would wait sometime for a facelift and I believe that these less invasive procedures as... more

Facial cosmetic surgery, liposuction, facelift

From your images I feel you would benfit from rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, chin implant, malar sub malar cheek implants or facial fillers, and filler under your eyes. These procedures likely will dramatically enhance your facial proportions. I dont believe a facelift is needed. in certain situations where liposuction alone is not adequate direct neck plasty with removal of fat deep to the neck mucle and muscle tightening can be helpful to reshape the neck. more

Liposuction or facelift

The multifacial implants look fine in the simulation. Yes you do have bimaxillary protrusion and extraction and orthodontics is an option and you might look into it as you are young. We would suggest a chin implant or a chin advancement and liposuction rather than facelift at your age. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Do I Need Neck Lipo or Neck Lift or Face Lift?

Aesthetically, IMHO, your cheek area appears very flat and while you have skin laxity, at 32 as a man I would not do a Face Lift or a Neck Lift at the outset. I'd consider Cheek Implants and Rdaiesse injections to the Mandibular angle along with a Chin Implant, submental skin ellispe and neck micro-lipo. The nose I'd leave for another time as well. The most important factor, in selecting your plastic and cosmetic surgeon is their ability tio... more

Facelift surgery vs. liposuction.

Without feeling your skin and seeing you it is only a guess. Though you are young, I don't think you could get the neck shown after without a facelift to remove the excess skin. You could just do the liposuction and chin and after a few years the facelift. Cheek implants, etc. are indicated.

Neck lipo and chin implant vs facelift

The imaging was done well and shows what could be acheved with neck liposuction and a chin implant. Nasal work and cheek implants would add to improvement in your appearance. You appear to be under 40 years of age which indicates that the liposuction will work rather than a facelift. If there is a lot of excess neck skin after liposuction and insertion of a chin implant a limited cervicoplasty ( direct excison of neck skin) might be done.

Liposuction of the neck can have great results.

Hi. Just going by your pictures, You will really benefit by liposuction of the neck and an anatomical chin implant. This is safe surgery with a short recovery. You definitely do not need face lift or jaw surgery. see video

Face and neck improvement

Morning, Here's what I would say about what I can see in the photo without a physical exam. I think you are relatively young (40 or less). We'll take this area by area starting from the top: 1. Maxilla and malar area: Yes, this area is a little weak. I would recommend malar/submalar implants for a nice improvement that would look something like your photo imaging. 2. Your chin: This would benefit from either genioplasty (cuts to... more

Neck Liposuction

Men have significantly different goals than women. While it is always best to do an in person consultation, based on your photos, you have loss of volume in the malar region that is underneath your eyes. This is contributing to an aged appearance. It also appears that neck liposuction would be beneficial (+/- necklift) along with a chin implant to improve your profile appearance. You may have some dental protrusion, but this is difficult to assess without seeing your... more

Neck Lift or Lipo

Interesting photos. I think you will do well with just lipo of your neck. You have pretty severe malar hypoplasia and would do best with alloplastic implants of one type or another. Not sure your lower eyelids will really rise as much as you have indicated but they will be better supported. Can't tell for certain about the bimaxillary protrusion without seeing your teeth but there is a good chance you have it. You should see a good oral surgeon for an opinion as to whether it is a... more
