Hi, I'm a 27 year old young professional and live a pretty active life style. I'm 6 ft about 175 pounds but my weight fluctuates based on what sports I'm playing or my diet at the time. I'm very self conscious about it and think it throws off the shape of my face. I want a better jaw line and not to have a double chin. Can plastic surgery change this enough to warrant the expense? Would the results be long lasting? Thanks!

Some people are not great candidate for neck suction alone. Some require some type of neck lift to give them the results they are looking for. This should have been discussed prior to surgery.
Usually this is not loose skin, and, at age 16, I would not think that you are a candidate for face and neck lift. Chin liposuction may be helpful, but an exam would be necessary to determine what would be best for you. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
