I’m 36, 5’8”, 169# and have some crepey/sagging skin at my neck. It makes me very self conscious and makes me appear older than I am. I have very poor skin laxity due to weight loss and just genetics. I also have some skin around my eyes that makes it difficult to apply makeup evenly anymore and may be interested in an upper/lower bleph. Am I a good candidate for these procedure? Is there another procedure I’d find more benefit from?

A chin implant is likely to yield the results you are looking for. You do not have excess submental skin or fat, therefore chin liposuction or a neck lift would not be indicated. Overall the chin implant will give you more projection and a better profile.
