3 procedures and no change for better or worse. What can I do? (Photo)

cmfwsfFeb 26, 2024
Hi, I am on the young side to get this much work, 3but, I really wanted a more defined jaw line. It was fine, nothing anyone would notice as having a double chin or any sagging, at least not yet. But I thought let’s do it before that happens. More than a double chin, which I really didn’t have, I didn’t like the bulges under the right and left side of my jaw. Nothing changed.

Hello, you have some skin laxity under your chin and thread lift can help. But we can say that a neck lift is removing the skin excess, but thread lift is re-distributing the skin excess to the behind-ear area, thats why the results will not be as strong as a proper neck lift. And thread lift...

Hi Janerex, Thank you for the question. There are several different types of neck lift and all can be performed under local anesthesia. The specific type of neck lift you require to achieve your goals will depend on a thorough preoperative evaluation of your anatomy. This might involve incisions...

The named procedure that you have been told you need is not as important as the fact that your surgeon is correct in identifying the problem. At 40 yo a full neck lift is not necessary and the issues that your photos have demonstrated appear to be a result of platysma muscle bands in a thin...
