Face lift? Liposuction? For a 22yr old (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photos. RF microneedling is an excellent option for tightening and rejuvenating the skin. RF microneedling enhances the skin by encouraging the body’s natural collagen production, with results that can be long-lasting. If submental fat is a concern, you could also consider Kybella injections. This treatment uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells under the chin to create a more contoured jawline. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concern and suggest the best option for you.

Hello and thank you for your question and pictures! In reading your question, it seems like you are the type of patient who has more aging of the neck and chin area as opposed to the upper face and midface. Aging of the neck is very common before aging of the face. It's one of the things that is most frustrating to many patients.

There are many changes to the face and neck as you age. Some of the changes are specifically at the skin level, and some at the deeper levels of the fat, retaining ligaments as well as the muscles. There are many nonsurgical and surgical options to treat each of these different areas. Some can be done together and it really depends how much improvement you want to see as well as what specifically bothers you. If there is significant sagging, surgery is usually the preferred procedure but can still be combined with injections and laser treatments.

In general, think of surgery as addressing any excess skin and laxity as well as removing fat. Think of laser as tightening the skin levels. Again, injections like Kybella can nonsurgically help diminish the fat and offer improvement and there are all sorts of laser procedures that can tighten different layers as well. Moreover injectables can be used to give you a more snatched looking jawline.

I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of eyelid surgery but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.

I would very strongly suggest chin and neck liposuction with energy device such as facetite. I believe it will make a significant difference in your neck contour.
