Ultherapy  is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy  is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Your main problem would be what we would consider a relatively oblique neck, meaning there is minimal angulation to the neck from this side. This is really fixed best by an open contouring procedure such as a neck lift. However, this will include some downtime and will cost more than minimally or moderately invasive options. Minimally or moderately invasive options, like FaceTite, will cost less and provide a good result, but will not be as dramatic as a neck lift.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend treatment with dermal filler for jawline contouring. Jawline filler injections offer several benefits for enhancing the profile and achieving facial balance. By adding volume along the jawline, filler injections can enhance jawline definition and create a more sculpted appearance. This helps to improve facial symmetry and balance, particularly in individuals with a less defined jawline. A well-defined jawline contributes to overall facial balance and can complement other facial features such as the chin and cheeks. It can enhance the attractiveness of the lower face and profile. I hope this helps and best of luck!

In your case, it would be best to combine a chin implant and a neck lift. A neck lift alone may not give a spectacular effect because your chin is slightly receding.A cheaper alternative, which may give a less satisfactory effect, is jaw contouring with hyaluronic acid and the use of lifting threads.

The limited photographs demonstrate a recessive chin profile, jowls, and considerable fat deposits in your neck, located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck itself. Consider placement of a small chin implant to augment your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions in addition to a lower face and neck lift procedure. The Facelift procedure would accomplish tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial and neck muscles, lifting the jowls, in addition to removing the fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jaw line
