What can I do for these bands and sagging under my chin? Will lipo help? I'm only 26. (photo)

Question

I had a few seasons of kybella a few years ago and ever since my skin has been like this under my chin. I've tried at home RF and that did not help. I'm wanting to get chin and Jowl lipo as I still ave some fat in this area but I'm really concerned about my skin. I'm only 26 years old. I can really tighten the muscle under my chin so I think the issue is just the skin. What can I do to fix this?

The linear bands that we are seeing on your neck are likely from your platysma muscle. Since you are only 26 years old, and since you did not appear to have excessive fat under your neck, I would not recommend neck liposuction at this point. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

To address bands and sagging under the chin, especially after treatments like Kybella, there are several options you can consider:

Liposuction: Chin and jowl liposuction can help remove excess fat, but if skin elasticity is a concern, you may need additional treatments to address skin tightening.

Skin Tightening Treatments: Non-surgical skin tightening procedures, such as Ultherapy or Thermage, use ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin firmness.

Neck Lift: For more significant sagging or skin laxity, a surgical neck lift might be recommended. This procedure can tighten underlying muscles and remove excess skin for a more defined jawline.

Consultation with a Specialist: It's crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to evaluate your specific condition. They can recommend the most suitable treatment plan based on your skin type and desired outcome.

Each treatment option has its own benefits and potential risks, so a professional consultation will help determine the best approach for your needs.
