Weight loss, in addition to lipo, what procedures to enhance facial/neck structure?

Question

My very big double chin reduced to this and will not further reduce. I had a very chubby face which made it look rounder though before I gained all that weight I had a heart shaped face. But now I’ve lost a lot on the upper face but not lower/jawline area so it looks very square and coupled with the still visible double chin makes me look like I barely have a jawline from the side profile and also looks like I barely have a neck too

Thank you for your question and photos. Loose skin can be removed during a neck lift, the remaining skin tightened, and submental fat removed to create a well-defined jawline contour. This procedure can also be combined with facial liposuction under the chin to achieve the desired structure with results that are long-lasting.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your treatment history, assess your concern, and help you decide on the best course of action.

Thank you for your query. A lower face and neck lift will help you with both your jaw line and your double chin. Some lipo-suction may also be required. If you are not ready for surgery as yet, Thermitight or Facetite will help. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with alla your concerns. All the best!

Although agrressive liposuction of neck and along jawline would create improvement, it is my impression that neck lift (to contoure and reduce deep fat tissue undreneath platysma muscle), would be  better procedure for you. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in face/neck lifts, would help. Good luck.

You may be a candidate for a deep plane neck lift and chin augmentation (filler, fat, or implant).  An in person examination will help determine the right combination of strategies for you.  It is unlikely that liposuction by itself will deliver the results you are looking for.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
