I am a 24 year old female with a BMI of 19. I am unhappy with how my neck appears to go straight from my collarbone to my chin with no definition in the chin and jawline. I also dislike how my cheeks appear like I have “jowls” despite my young age and how they look when I smile. I was wondering what procedure could help improve the appearance of my face and profile
Answer: Neck Lift Thank you for your question. You seem to be an ideal candidate for the laser-assisted weekend necklift because the procedure contours the neck and jawline, removing the jowl appearance, while providing a recovery period as short as one weekend. Always work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Answer: Neck Liposuction Thank you for your question and picture. To achieve an L shaped neck with a better contour you could have neck liposuction. We make a little incision under the chin, remove the fat from the area also the friction caused by the cannula causes the skin to shrink. This will give more definition. There is a recovery period as you have to massage the area after liposuction to ensure it doesn't form any lumps, however will continue to get better month after month. Please do have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. All The Best

Answer: Chin Liposuction w/Jplasma Dermal Tightening and Chin Augmentation Hello and thank-you for your question and photos. You may consider a chin augmentation to improve your jawline combined with liposuction of the sub mental chin and neck. Liposuction of the chin area alone could give improvement as well. Liposuction can be combined with J-Plasma (Renuvion) Cool Helium Plasma for skin tightening of the chin and neck produces consistently good results for appropriate candidates. I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS Tweet

Answer: Combination chin implant with neck liposuction It does appear that you have relative microgenia (short chin). I would recommend an anatomic chin implant that will strengthen your jaw line and improve the appearance of your neck/jaw angle. Typically, liposuction of the neck is performed at the same time to achieve tightening of the underlying skin which will contour better to your jaw and give you more definition. We often perform these procedures in conjunction to give the best results. I would seek consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.

Answer: Chin concerns... Hello Cybervegan, I just scanned through all the answers on here provided by other surgeons -- and if I were you, I'd be super-confused! Let me clear this up. 80-90% of your concern will be alleviated with an extended anatomical chin implant. This type of implant will bring the chin forward, giving you a more defined neck angle, and fill in the pre-jowl area to decrease the appearance of your 'marionette' folds. Do not go for a surgical necklift. Some amount of neck liposculpting may be necessary to loosen the skin for placement of the chin implant, but I would even recommend against any significant liposuction of the neck fat. That being said, this is not something you NEED to do. Just KNOW that you are beautiful the way you are, inside and out. Best wishes on your journey, Dr. Jay
