I have noticed more of a double chin in the past few months, but because the rest of me is lean, and because the area under my jaw is very firm, I don't think it's fat. Plus I have significant platysmal banding. Overall my jaw line/profile is not to my liking. Any suggestions to get a more defined jaw line?
Answer: Chin contouring procedures
It sounds as if you might need a limited necklift type of procedure which would include a platysmal tightening procedure. The firmness you are talking about could be related to a deeper type of fat called pre-platysmal fat. You might also benefit from a chin implant to strengthen your neck and jaw line if there is a deficiency there. Anyway, it is hard to say for sure without photographs and I would recommend you have a consultation to gather more information.

Answer: Recommendation for a more defined jawline is neck lift or facelift
A defined jaw line can be accomplished with either a neck lift or a lower face/neck lift. Usually patients over 50 will require a face/neck lift while patients under 50 will require a neck lift. The determining factor is skin laxity. Both procedures involve removal of fat above and below the platysmal muscle as well as tightening the platysmal muscle in the front of the neck. The tightening of the posterior muscle is done when a facelift is performed. The surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures and usually take 2-3 hours under a general anesthesia for patient safety and comfort.

Answer: Double chin, not fat
It is hard to offer advice without seeing photos and I admire the other doctors who have replied for their efforts to help. Given the platysmal bands, I agree that neck surgery may be beneficial. even if you do not have fat in your neck.

Answer: Options for improving your neckline
A double chin can be improved with a neck lift or even a chin implant. It depends on your facial features and the quality of your skin. In many cases as it sounds like with you, excess fat it not the problem and other corrective procedures are more often helpful than simple liposuction to the area.
