I’m 35 years old so I though my skin would still have good elasticity after my chin lipo, but I seem to still have loose skin. I had my procedure 3 moths ago. Is a neck lift my only option?

Answer: Loose skin 3 months after chin lipo. Is a neck lift my only option? Hello Marcyisland,Starting around age 35 the skin begins to loose its elasticity. For some patients at 35 there is sufficient elasticity that isolated liposuction can be performed. In others, unfortunately, the skin lacks the elasticity. I would recommend waiting until about 6 months to allow for any tightening to take place. Once you hit the 6 month mark that is about as good as it will get. At that point you have several options. The gold standard is a neck lift, but if you are looking for less invasive options then I like the Embrace RF system which combines FaceTite (subcutaneous radiofrequency and external radiofrequency) and Morpheus8 (microneedling with radiofrequency) to help tighten the skin. I would recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. That way you can learn about the surgical and non surgical options. I hope this helps and good luck.

Answer: Necklifts can be appropriate for patients under 40 While it may sound unusual, it is sometimes perfectly appropriate to recommend and perform a neck lift, or even a lower face and neck lift, in younger patients. Most of these patients never had a sharp neck/jawline, or have a genetic tendency toward a falling neck. Getting the prettiest and most natural results in cases like yours requires an expertly-done deep neckilft. Liposuction, Kybella, Coolsculpting, mirconeedling, etc will not create a similar result.Based on your shape, I would not waste money on anything but a neck lift. I would advise you to choose your surgeon carefully – creating a natural lift at a young age requires great surgical judgment and skill. Considering you will likely have at least one more lift as you age, it is very important that the foundations for that future surgery are laid during your first procedure, as well.
