34, crepey skin on neck - am I too young for a neck lift? (Photos)

Question

Im 34 (35 in April) and already have crepey skin on my neck. Im also not happy about the fat developing under my chin, and my jawline fading into a less defined profile. Ive done a little research and there doesn't seem to be many alternatives to address both issues, but ive heard 35 is too young for a neck lift. Thoughts?

Great question and thank you for providing photos!
I disagree that you are "too young" for a neck lift and feel that younger patients actually do better with isolated neck lifts (without the face portion) than older patients. This would likely be an option and would best address the excess skin and help improve your jawline/profile. However, another option to consider that is less invasive (though likely not as impactful) would be some type of laser resurfacing/tightening of the skin with liposuction to address some of the fullness related to fat over the chin. Ultimately it comes down to how much you are willing to have done and the degre of improvement you are looking for. Surgery likely best result, though most involved and longer recovery. Laser/lipo would improve to an extent but less than surgery, but recovery much faster. 
Hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD
