I'm 35 years old -- 5' 4" and 130lbs -- unhappy with the appearance of my neck. I have always grappled with a small amount of submental fat and horizontal neck lines, but both have worsened with age. Would chin/neck liposuction help eliminate my stubborn double chin and give me a more defined jaw line? And would filler reduce the appearance of the necklace lines?

Answer: Necklace Lines and Submental Fat Hi Anne! Great questions. For the submental fat, you could consider liposuction, though there is a risk in thinner patients of creating noticeable lines or imperfections in the skin, especially on neck extension. I don't really use Kybella anymore due to the results being less than impressive for the cost and time involved. For the necklace lines, I would steer away from filler. The results can look quite odd with show-through in areas. Morpheus8 in your age group may be a fantastic option. This is radiofrequency microneedling which helps to tone the skin. The downtime is minimal and the results can be quite nice. Whatever you choose, consider the fact that surgery isn't without risks and may still require upkeep in the future. Hope this helps!

Answer: Neck You are a good candidate for submental liposuction. This can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. The necklines would likely be somewhat addressed if the submental liposuction released some of those adhesion points. The lines are natural flexion creases. I would recommend seeing a board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training/experience who can perform a full exam and provide safe recommendations.

Answer: Neck liposuction Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. He seem to be a very good candidate for liposuction and skin tightening. Typically this is something that’s performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. He may elect to undergo injections in the neck lines with either your own fat or combination of fillers at the same time. Is best to have a virtual or in person consultation for precise recommendations of course.
