In my 20s, what are my options for improving the appearance of my lower face? (Photos)

Polite646589May 20, 2023

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!
