Question

I hate my weak chin/neck area and really want a strong and defined jawline. I feel like I have spare skin under my neck that prevents this but I’m not overweight, so I’m not sure what procedure would be the best option to tighten and sharpen up this area. Any advice is very welcome

You do have a very small amount of excess skin on your neck, this could be fixed by placing submental liposuction with an energy device. However, you chin is also set back slightly from your lip in these pictures, so it may be wise to consider a chin implant. Only an in person physical exam will be able to tell the best definitive treatment.

If you're looking to enhance the definition of your jawline and address concerns with the skin under your neck, liposuction could be a helpful option, especially if you have excess fat in that area despite not being overweight.

Liposuction can remove this fat and help create a more contoured jawline.

However, if your primary concern is loose or sagging skin rather than excess fat, other procedures might be more appropriate. A neck lift, for example, can remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles to provide a more defined appearance.

Additionally, non-surgical treatments like ultrasound therapy (Ultherapy) or radiofrequency treatments (such as Thermage) can help to tighten the skin and improve its elasticity.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist who can assess your specific situation and recommend the best treatment options for you. They can provide a tailored approach based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Yes, you have very strong facial features above, and lower third (chin area) is weaker. It is not terrible, but you notice it. An advancement genioplasty will help pull everything forward, give you a stronger chin and more of a neckline. Fat grafting the jawline and chin area will further refine the result.
