What procedure would improve the definition in my chin and the look of my neck? (Photos)

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,

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 

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.

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.

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

You can accomplish great results with submental liposuction and a small chin Implant Followed by Thermi tight Throughout the neck and jowl area.  Alternatively Kybella would be an alternative option with more subtle impact. Best Regards, Dr Weiss

In person exam is essential. Based on photos- you amy benefit from a sub-mental liposuction with possible small chin implant. There're other surgical options that may be indicated - but that will be determined at your in person exam

I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a chin implant and submental liposuction for
improved jaw line contour.  I always use a medpor implant with screw
fixation, which stays in place over time.  A silicone chin implant has a
high rate of malrotation over time.  Make
sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients
who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer
animation system. The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  You appear to have a recessed chin contributing to your narrative's complaint of lack of definition.  This can be improved with either a chin implant or dermal fillers to help sculpt the entire area.  As fo residual adipose tissue you can attempt either Kybella injections or conservative liposuction.  I would be sure to see a series of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons in consultation to discuss the best options.
