Hello . I am 5ft 9 170lb. I have always had an issue with submental fat under neath chin . I have attached two photos . In the first one I pulled my chin back see double chin . I’m not sure if this is fat or loose skin . In the second photo , when move my chin up it is not that noticeable . Is chin lipo suction the only way to have a better jaw line ? I have tried Morpheus 8 and Cool sculpting . At first it does a great job but then it comes back again . Feels like due to genetics.
Answer: Anterior Neck Lift Thank you for your question regarding the volume under the chin and the potential benefits of surgical and non-surgical treatments. You are correct in suspecting that genetics often play a significant role in the development of this volume. Based on your description, my impression is that the majority of the volume in your case is located deep to the platysma muscles. This is evident when you bring your chin in, as you are recruiting these muscles and reducing the space available for the floor of the mouth.

Answer: Likely Need Something Invasive If you have tried noninvasive methods then it may be time to step up to an anergy device +/- liposuction. Many times the submental area is genetic and is related to either a chin that is set back too far, neck musculature, glands, or other issues. The best way to tell would be an in person physical exam by a physician that is very familiar with neck contouring procedures.

Answer: Submental chin fat, is chin liposuction the best treatment Much more information is needed, such as a full set of facial photographs from all angles, in addition to your height, weight, and age to make the proper decision on the most appropriate procedure for you. The one very limited photograph, it appears that you have fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. Liposuction can only remove the fat deposits above the muscle, while a neck lift procedure is performed to remove the fat deposits below the muscle, which also includes a platysma – plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Liposuction alone will only be minimally effective.
