Me and my dad both have a weak chin. The skin underneath my jawline and chin is still taut. My dad however has tons of loose skin and fat around his neck and under the chin. I don't want this to happen to me. I'm afraid just keeping my weight down won't be enough. Will a chin implant postpone skin saginess?

Answer: Won't postpone aging While placement of a chin implant won't postpone aging, it can add appropriate strength to your lower jaw (if that is what is needed). This can, in turn, camouflage some early aging features such as excess tissue under or on the side of the jaw. See a qualified surgeon with a lot of experience with both implants and cosmetic surgery to get your best opinion.

Answer: Chin Implants and Loose Neck Skin A chin implant won't postpone loose skin per se but increased chin projection in a more recessed chin may make it less noticeable. In older patients with loose neck skin right under the chin, a significant chin augmentation can pick up a little loose submental skin. All jawline augmentations, if significant, recruit skin from the neck to acquire their soft tissue coverage.
