Hello, doctors! Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I would love advice on what I can do to improve the appearance of my lower face. I am still in my 20s but have jowling and loose skin due to major weight loss. I really dislike the shape of my lower face and would like a tighter jawline. I know a neck lift is an option but I'm unsure of other options. Do you think chin/jowl and neck lipo would be an option? Facial fat grafting to put more volume in my face overall? Thanks!

Answer: Lower face options Thank you for submitting your questions and photos. Congrats on the weight loss! Unfortunately with weight loss, sometimes patients experiencing some “deflational” changes in the face. There are several options that can improve this. I would opt to hold off on a necklift at this time due to your age. Some less invasive options would be Morpheus or Ultherapy to tighten the skin in this area, Eurothreads, chin/jawline filler and/or a genioplasty, and fat grafting or filler to the mid and upper face to help elevate the lower face tissue. I highly recommend you seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your options in more detail. Good luck and thanks again for reaching out!

Answer: Chin Lipo Hello, Chin liposuction is only going to remove any excess "bulk" from the area and not do as much for tightening of the skin. There is the option of filler to the jowl area to help with loss of volume. A microneedling with radio frequency treatment in a series of a few treatments is also a great option to help with skin tightening as your age and skin quality is still young.
