I am only 100 pounds and in my 20s and previously had a very strong jawline, but had my jaw shaved about 6 months ago. Although I am happy with my results, it has left me with a small (very small) double chin and it drives me crazy. I don't think the surgery left me with a weak chin because they moved my chin forward. I'm also not interested in a chin implant. Are there any alternatives? I have seen an injection used to melt fat after lipsuction causes lumps. Is there something of that sort?
Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella to Melt Fat. ThermiTight to Tighten Skin Kybella is very effective in dissolving the fat pad beneath the chin. There is also a small amount of skin tightening associated with this.ThermiTight is more effective at tightening skin. There is a small amount of fat melting that occurs with this as well. Ulthera also tightens skin. I use both, and I think that ThermiTight is a little more effective in the neck. Cool sculpt also has been used to melt the fat in the neck, however, I do not have any experience with this.

Answer: Non surgical double chin options Thank you for your question.If you are looking soley for a non-surgical solution, I am finding that the combination of Kybella or Coolsculpting Mini to reduce the sub mental fullness and an energy device to tighten the skin are among the best non-surgical combinations to help your neck concerns.Kybella is an injection procedure that dissolves the fat an may require between 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. There is some swelling and bruising potential, with the greatest amount with the first treatment.The Coolsculpting mini procedure cools the fatty tissue under the submental area and also reduces the fatty tissue under the chin.As far as energy devices, I would recommend Ulthera if you are looking for something with no downtime, or Profound if you could tolerate some downtime. Ulthera is an ultrasound based energy that heats the underlying tissue and stimulates collagen in response. Profound is a radio frequency microneedling device that allows for the creation of Elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid and hence restores some of the lost elasticity in the neck. It has more visible downtime with the possibility of some swelling and bruising that diminishes in about a weeks time.
