Options to improve neck and profile
Several things in the neck are creating profile issues. Fat present in the neck both above and below the platysmal muscle needs to be removed, and a platysmaplasty (tightening of the platysma) will create a 90 degree angle neck once the fat has been removed in the submental area. A small chin implant will enhance the retrusive chin and further improve the length of the jaw line.

Unhappy neck patient
Based on your photos it appears that you have a few things that could be improved upon to help your profile, first you have a slightly deficient chin which causes your neck line to look blunted. You have good skin quality, but may have some excess subcutaneous and even possibly subplatysmal fat that if removed with submental liposuction and direct lipectomy along with submentoplasty and a chin implant would do nicely for you.

Unhappy with your Profile
Based on your photographs, it appears that you would benefit from a chin strengthening procedure - either an implant or semi-permanent filler such as Radiesse. It does not look like you have heaviness or excess volume, but you do have some looseness of the platysma muscle under your chin. This can be improved with a small procedure called a submentoplasty where the muscle is tightened directly under the chin.

Unhappy neck
You have a face with a convex profile, a feminine look overall. Though others would suggest a chin implant, you can have improvements with liposuction alone, especially while young with good elastic skin.

What is Wrong with my Neck? I Dislike My Profile.
Aesthetically speaking the chin appears weak and there's excess fatty tissue in the neck. The aesthetically ideal profile has the chin approximnating an imaginmary vertical line drwan down from the lower lip. IMHO, men should approach that imaginary line, while woman should be about 1/4 inch behind the line. Your chin is quite far back behind that ideal line.
The chin is best augmented using a silastic, anatomical shaped chin implant placed...

Improving profile of neck
You could consider chin augmentation and possible neck (submental) liposuction to improve your facial balance.
A physical exam would allow for a better assessment and computer morphing would better let you determine if the changes make the improvements you're looking for.

Liposuction and chin augmentation
Liposuction and chin augmentation would be the best answer for you. Your chin is slightly receding and a small implant with liposuction of the neck would provide a very aesthetically pleasing profile. You have a nice nose and the augmentation of the chin and neck liposuction will provide an improved angle which would help harmonize your features. I perform the procedure through a very small incision under the chin and do the liposuction and implant from that incision. The procedure is very...

Liposuction of the neck together with a small chin implant work very well.
Hi.
Sometimes the fullness in the neck is not due to excess localized fat, and that is why you need a good physical exam. But just going by your pictures, you are an ideal candidate for liposuction of the neck (some people call it chin liposuction). This will give you a right angle under your chin. And a small anatomical chin implant would enhance the result even more. These procedures are simple and safe with a really quick recovery.

Neck rejuvenation
From your photos, it looks like you have a small amount of fat of your neck that can be removed with liposuction. More importantly, your chin is small and this is making your neck look the way it does. I would recommend placement of a small chin implant which will balance out the lower third of your face and make a more pleasing neck angle. I routinely perform these surgeries and would be happy to see you in my office for a free consultation. call 212-289-1851 to schedule your consultation....

Thanks for posting the photos. I recommend neck lifting with liposuction. Best to be seen in person by a few boarded PSs in your area.

Why do I dislike my profile
From your pictures it looks like you have a slightly retrusive chin and a small amount of excess fat under the chin. I think that your most effective treatment option would be lipocontouring of the neck as well as a chin implant.
Both procedures can be performed together and it is reasonable to do it under local anesthetic although general anesthetic is an option if you are uncomfortable with the thought of being awake while the procedure is being performed.
Lipocontouring of the...

Neck aesthetics, Improving appearance with lipolift, genioplasty or chin implants
There are two issues with your neck. What you are noticing is your cervicomental angle, the angle betweenyour neck and chin. the quick answer that you SHOULD NOT go for is a chin implant. Redraping your neck skin with minimal liposuction and skin tightening( I prefer Skintyte II an infrared based skin contraction device) with or without a genioplasty. A genioplasty is a surgical repositioning of the projection of your chin. Fewer surgeons offer this because it...

Neck Profile Reshaping
Your facial profile has a convex shape due to a fuller neck and a shorter chin. That shape can be changed to a more angular one by neck lioposuction and a chin implant. That change could be easily appreciated by computer imaging so you could see the significant difference.

What's wrong with my neck (photo)?
Nothing is wrong with your neck, but if you want it more trim with better definition of your jaw, consider a chin implant and liposuction of the neck.

Neck improvement
I agree with the others. A chin implant would be the main thing I would recommend. I agree also that just liposuction or at the most a platysmaplasty (tightening the fan-like neck muscle) would help. At your age, it's quite unlikely, in my opinion, that you would need any skin removed. In fact, with a chin implant in, the skin will be a bit tighter anyway.

Wishing Neck Profile Improvement
You demonstrate a slightly pushed in chin which when combined with the moderate amount of neck fat compunds the appearance. Neck liposuction combined with either a chin implant or placing filler over the chin would improve the acuity and contour of your neck profile.

Neck problems
Your photos aren't perfect for seeing the neck but it seems that you have a retrusive chin and some fat in the neck. At 29, your skin is probably reasonable and you could consider a chin implant and neck liposuction. Depending on circumstances, a neck lift might be needed. Visit some surgeons and ask.
