I think I have a weak chin and double chin. Should I do Kybella or chin fillers? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I’m normal weight, but I have a double chin in certain angles and a weak chin that I’ve always been insecure of. I was looking into kybella but I’m not sure if that would totally fix my insecurities. I don’t want to do any surgical procedures. What would you recommend?

If you speak to a qualified surgeon they will definitely suggest a chin implant. Perfect..permanent..and rare problems. You will spend much more and have less effect with injectables. The perception of fat under your chin is just redundant unsupported tissue that would disappear with a stronger jaw line.

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
