Would neck Liposuction/chin implant be a good option to achieve a tight jaw line/neck?

Question

Would neck liposuction be a good option to achieve a tight jaw line/neck? And would a chin implant be advised for a 36yo male? Thanks

Dear CJPARNELL in Manchester,
Thank you for your inquiry about achieving a more defined jawline and neck contour through neck liposuction and a chin implant. Your submitted pictures have been helpful in assessing your needs.
Neck Liposuction with VASER:
Neck liposuction, particularly with the use of a VASER machine, appears to be a suitable option for you. This technique involves making a small incision behind the chin and applying ultrasonic energy to maximize skin contraction and achieve a tighter neck appearance.
The potential to achieve a 90° neckline is promising, although the structure of your throat cartilage may somewhat limit it.
Chin Implant for Enhanced Profile:
A chin implant would complement the neck liposuction by strengthening your profile and further defining your jawline.
Chin implants can be inserted either via a submental (under the chin) incision or through an intraoral (inside the mouth) approach, both of which can be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Surgical Duration and Recovery:
Anticipate the surgery to take approximately 1 to 2 hours, with a recovery period of 1 to 2 weeks.
While initial swelling around the chin is expected post-implant, most of it should resolve within 6 to 8 weeks, revealing the final results.
In summary, combining neck liposuction using VASER with a chin implant seems to be an effective approach to achieve the defined jawline and neck appearance you desire.
I hope this information assists you in making an informed decision. Wishing you the best in your journey towards enhancing your facial contours.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

There are several different ways to address your concerns.  Liposuction and a chin implant are one.  You could also consider fillers in the chin.  FaceTite is another option for the neck to tighten skin and remove fat.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

You would be a good candidate for a chin implant.  It would augment the chin, it would lengthen the mandible and make it look tighter.  Liposuction could be done, if there is fat there.

Best Wishes,

Go for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for liposuction of your chin and minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening, like Renuvion, for your neck.  Just based on your photos, you do not need a chin implant.
