I'm 30 years old and skin under chin starting to sag. Do I have options?? (photos)

It's difficult to suggest per your photos and via online. The best neck #lift surgeon will evaluate both your anatomical features and aesthetic goals to determine which neck lift procedure best suits your individual needs. Factors which are considered during your consultation to determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck include: •Visibility and amount of excess fat below the chin and along the neckline.•The presence of banding down the front of the #neck.•The amount of #excess skin and condition of your skin.•Chin Deficiency.•Presence of Prominent Digastric Muscles (a.k.a. submandibular gland fullness).During the examination the chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline.  A weak #chin means there is not adequate chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. For individuals with signs of aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend non-surgical alternatives to address your concern. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #neck lift procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Thanks for sharing. In general, current neck and lower face rejuvenation treatments include:Surgical Neck lift* with a Lower Facelift would be the gold standard and gets the best overall results in the jowls and neckSurgical Neck lift* which removes skin would be the next best procedureNeck liposuction and/or laser lipolysis if only fat removal is required, typically in a younger patient. (A platysmaplasty can be added for further muscle tightening)Ultherapy is an FDA approved non invasive tightening using ultrasound technologyKybella is a new FDA approved injection that melts fat under the chinBotox to the platysma bands to decrease their activity and show*It is important the a Neck lift involves some liposuction and importantly a platysmaplasty which is a procedure that tightens the underlying loose neck muscles. Based on your photos, you do have excess skin. it is possible that you would benefit from a surgical neck lift or ultherapy to tighten the skin. Talk to several board certified surgeons experienced in face and neck rejuvenation to discuss your options.

Thank you for your question and for posting photos.  In order to truly make a recommendation, it is important to see frontal, side, and three-quarter views without your head turned (i.e. in neutral position).  The platysma muscle can often contribute to the perceived "neck bands". Often this can be addressed with neuromodulator, such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin.  Nonsurgical options such as Ultherapy, ThermiRF, and others can also have nice results in the submentum (area under the chin), but will not give surgical results if thee is truly excess skin. Additional photos are really necessary, however before a recommendation can be made.  As with any cosmetic procedure, in-person consultation with a trusted facial plastic or plastic surgeon will allow you to discuss your desired outcome with your surgeon and a treatment plan can be determined.
