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: Would a submentoplasty or full neck lift/lower face lift be best for me? A lower face and neck lift will improve the neck and jowls to the greatest extent.

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!
