I hate my side profile so much! I have a weak chin and my neck and nose are disgusting! My neck just goes straight down, no definition, I feel like this is because my jaw/chin is slightly smaller. And my nose is fairly big with a hump. I just wanted to know what would be the best procedures to improve my side profile. Thank you
Answer: How You Can Improve My Neck & Side Profile It's difficult to confirm what #solution is best without photos. Hence, it's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person. A neck lift is a general term used for rejuvenating the neckline to create a more youthful attractive appearance. Factors which are considered during your consultation to determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck include: •Visibility and amount of excess fat below the chin and along the neckline.•The presence of banding down the front of the #neck.•The amount of #excess skin and condition of your skin.•Chin Deficiency.•Presence of Prominent Digastric Muscles (a.k.a. submandibular gland fullness).During the examination the chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin means there is not adequate chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. For individuals with signs of aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to improve your concern. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #neck lift procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Answer: Side Profile Improvement Thank you for your question, Aj44. Keep in mind that many facial plastic procedures can be performed in conjunction with one another. You can improve your neck and side profile by having a greater understanding of what you would like to receive. The hump will be easy to remove, and the jaw/chin can be addressed by a necklift or a chin implant. I suggest you consult a board certified physician whose offices have the capabilities of imaging technology that allows patient and surgeon to create images of the patient if they were to receive certain procedures. The board certification ensures you receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. Best wishes,

Answer: How could I improve my neck and side profile? = consider chin implant #fb #chinimplant #neck #drmesa There are multiple surgical options to improve facial appearance specially the profile contour.Necks that go straight down from the chin to the chest (in medical terms: obtuse cervicomental angle) could significantly improve with a neck lift ( a procedure that removes the excess of neck fat, tightens the loose neck muscle -platysma, and redraws the neck skin to reveal the normal youthful neck angle in patient candidates)Weak chin projection in relation of the face/nose can be improved/ corrected with a chin implant. Chin implant can be placed through small incisions in side the mouth or just beneath the chinAesthetically unpleasant nose aspects like humps, large tips etc. can be improved with a "nose job" ( medical term: rhinoplasty).Patients interested in improving his/her facial appearance should make a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon specialized in cosmetic surgery of the face and nose

Answer: Neck Lift Recommendations Before a patient could be candidate for a surgery, they have to be in great health. If a patient is in good health, then I look at the anatomy to guide my recommendations. When looking at your anatomy I would look for:1) Excess fat in the neck2) Excess skin in the neck3) Poorly defined jawline4) Poor definition in the cheek area5) Jowls6) Deep marionette lines7) Weak ChinIf you have a fairly heavy neck and to get you the best result your would need a more aggressive lift. In my practice I would recommend:1) Facelift2) Midline platysmaplasty with aggressive removal of fat in neck3) Direct liposuction of the jowls4) Chin implant5) Mulitleval fat grafting or cheek implants to create definition in the cheek area6) Consideration of facial chemical peel to improve quality of skin. 7) Rhinoplasty for hump.I hope this helps
