I am 32, not overweight, but have always had "double chin" even as a child with very little body fat. I want something permanent to remove double chin, sharpen the jawline and jowls starting to form. I am wondering if deep place neck lift is appropriate. Also: I have had mixed responses during consults about also adding chin implant (not too keen on this idea, may consider permanent filler in chin at a later time). Main concern is whether deep plane neck lift is appropriate. Thanks!

Answer: I don't recommend neck lift Thank you for the photos- you don't have an excess of skin here, but do have some start of jowl formation and submental fullness. Your chin is slightly underprojected, it should just be slightly behind the the lower lip. Liposuction of the submental region plus myellevate with or without a small chin implant would be a great procedure for you.

Answer: Deep plane neck lift at age 32 From the photographs presented, you do have significant fat deposits, located both above, and below the platysma muscle in the neck, which will require a deep plane neck lift. This involves liposuction to remove the fat deposits above the muscle, surgical extraction of the fat below the platysma muscle, and then a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. You also appear to have a recessive chin, so small chin implant may be beneficial as well.
