I am only 32 years old and have always had a very weak jaw and chin. I am very thin, however the loss in collagen over the years has caused me to look very FULL under the chin. I was hoping to have a procedure to tighten both the skin under my chin and the jowls. Is this possible? I know Lipo would help, however most doctors I have spoken to say they would stay away from my jowls due to possible nerve damage. As you can see in the image my jowls are a huge concern.

Answer: Which would you recommend; Kybella, Ultherapy, or chin Lipo/lift? Thank you for your question. Best option would be liposuction or kybella. Good candidates for kybella are also good candidates for liposuction. Patients with good skin tone and mild to moderate fullnesswill have good results. You can liposuction jowls very conservatively. A chin implant would also help improve your profile. Consult with board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best option for you.

Answer: Kybella vs Coolmini vs Liposuction- and maybe a chin implant too Fantastic question! Good to know all of your options.There are multiple factors that go into answering this question...If there is a lot of fat, liposuction is your best bet. This can be done in-office under local anesthesia.If surgery is not something you are comfortable with, Coolsculpting would be your best bet financially... as long as the Coolsculpting applicator fits and you are okay with more time to see full results (than liposuction). If your jaw is too small or the amount of fat too little, the CoolMini may not fit.Lastly, if you have a small amount of fat and the CoolMini applicator doesn't fit your face, I would go with Kybella. There is a significant recovery period with Kybella and the product is not cheap. That is why I reserve it for people with a small amount of submental fat.All three will give you some skin tightening.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Answer: Kybella / Ulthera treatment Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. I would recommend starting with Kybella to decrease the sub mental fullness. You should also see a mild degree of tightening with this treatment. I would follow this with Ulthera if you still have concerns about the laxity of the neck or simply plan on both as Ulthera will help you reduce the rate at which the neck continues to develop laxity with time.
