I'm 33 and recently lost a little weight. I had this issue before when I was thinner. I am currently scheduled for a consultation in April, but I was wondering thoughts on my chin/neck area. It makes me extremely self conscious.

Answer: Neck lift or liposuction
Dear galaxsi,
Given your age and what it looks like, neck liposuction would be a good place to start
The skin is still very elastic and will re-shape to the contours of your new neck after the fat is removed
For a more definitive answer, please see a surgeon for an exam, then all of your concerns can be addressed
Best regards,

Answer: Level 2 Neck lift procedure is a great procedure
Thank you for your question. From the pictures you showed us, I would recommend an anterior approach only for your neck lift (a small scar under the chin only) with:
a conservative liposuction of the neck,
direct excision of subplastysmal fat and
repair of the plastysma muscles (plication).
This is a 60-75 min procedure that can be done either under full general anaesthesia or under deep sedation with anesthesiologist. This is a very common neck approach today as less and less ladies opt for a full facelift after all the great results we can get with Botox and fillers (restylane and juvederm). Make sure you see a qualified plastic surgeon. See my video, attached. Hope this helps! Dr. Marc DuPere, Toronto plastic surgeon, board-certified.
