I am 43, slender and in shape, but have the dreaded loose skin under my chin and on my neck. I tried thermage a couple years ago to help in tightening this area, with no real results. I want to do the least invasive procedure that will yield good results of making this part of me look better and younger . What procedure / surgery would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your input!
Answer: Submentoplasty Would Likely Work Thanks for asking this common question. Non-invasive

Answer: Would a submentoplasty or full neck lift/lower face lift be best for me? Thank you for your question and photos!It seems that lower facelift will be a great decision for you. I do perform submentoplasty and neck lifting together for tha cases like you. It will help to lift your cheeks, the corners of your mouth, reduce jowls and marionette lines, as well as provide a significantly better neck contour. Your result can be perfect, I wish you good luck!

Answer: Neck lift options There is no perfect solution to rejuvenating the neck. Because you have loose skin you really need to remove it and unfortunately this requires incisions. The only acceptable location for these incision at your age would be around your ears . These are well camouflaged and very acceptable for most patient. This would be a formal neck lift , a significant plastic surgery procedure and you will need to consider if you are prepared for thisbest of luck

Answer: Facelift with necklift vs noninvasive options Thank you for your photos! Based on your photos the best option would be to have a facelift with a necklift. You have some obvious platysmal banding in your neck so I would recommend a platysmaplasty with your necklift to give you the smoothest neck appearance. In the end, your surgical options will give you the best results, but more importantly, it will make you the happiest. Also, your photos show that your lower face and cheeks have lost volume so any attempt at a surgical procedure without adding volume to your midface will result in recurrence of the marionette lines and nasolabial folds in your face in a year so adding fat or a synthetic volumizer at the same time would make your neck and face look much better. If you are only looking for a mild improvement, placing botox in the platysma muscle of your neck and using volumizers such as Radiesse and Juvederm Voluma in the face can give you an improvement without trying surgery though in the end putting that money towards surgery will be the most cost effective way of getting what you want long-term. Good Luck!
