Weak chin and saggy chin skin - recommendations? (photos)

Question

Hi! I am 35 years, 5'6", 124 pounds. I have never liked my weak chin but I finally paid off student loans and have the money to do something about it. Unhappy with saggy neck skin and weak chin. Should I be researching sliding genioplasty, mini face lift or neck lift, etc? Any guidance greatly appreciated <3

You could absolutely benefit from a genioplasty. That will not only add definition to your chin and profile, but it will also help with the skin under your chin. We generally start with a genioplasty, and afterwards, if we think there is still something that can be done about the skin underneath, we will go in for submental liposuction, which will tighten and contour the area more. Occasionally it is not needed once the chin has been moved, but it is always a second option!

Hello LauradskiIt seems like the main problem is that chin is located behind the upper jaw. In that case mentoplasty would be a good choice. You can either choose to have an implant or sliding genioplasty. Both have pros and cons. But your jowl area and midface looks pretty good. I see no reason to have face lift but if you think about having transcutaneus implant genioplasty same incision can be used to stretch your neck by plicating both platysma muscles together in the midline. By having forwardly placed chin and streched neck muscles you can have a better chin jowl and neck shape.
