Submentoplasty, Liposuction, or other?

myrandaannd
I went in for a consultation regarding rhinoplasty and a chin implant. My doctor instead suggested a submentoplasty, but the assistant told me it was unnessasary. Even when I was very thin, I always had a sort of "turkey neck", and I want to get something done to fix it. Is a submentoplasty a good go? When ever I look it up, it's mostly older women (I'm 19). Is there something else I should do? Lipo? Thank you!
