Hi, hope you are well! Thank you for posting your photos and questions. In my opinion, the best option for you is a procedure called NeckTite. This is a bipolar radiofrequency energy device which is applied underneath the skin to reduce subcutaneous fat and tighten the skin. These effects combined really accentuate the jawline when performed properly. The advantages of a procedure like this compared to surgery include that there are no scars/skin incisions, and the procedure is performed under local anesthesia (awake in office). Liposuction is performed along with NeckTite, so you are reducing extra fat by two methods. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower

Your skin, fat and plasma muscle are all normal. The reason for the contour of your chin and neck, including your jawline and potential premature double chin or all based on bone structure. 100% of people seeking chin and neck liposuction have a facial skeletal imbalance for the mandible that is small in relationship to the maxilla.this is also true for you to some degree. It’s not a problem, per se. A large percentage of the population have this facial feature.Most people who have this facial, skeletal relationship will have an overbite dental occlusion, the upper lip will have more forward projection than the lower lip on profile pictures, the patient will develop early double chin and loss of jawline definition and eventually premature jowls.
My best suggestion is to leave it alone and focus on living your life spending a little less time in front of the mirror.
