My face “melts” into neck, how can I achieve a more defined jawline? (Photos)

Question

As per my question I find that as I’ve got older my face is now blending/melting into my neck, making my jawline invisible when viewed from the side. I don’t feel like my chin is particular weak or recessed, therefore I’d love to know what I can do surgically to permanently change this so as my jawline is both visible and defined. Thanks!

Based on your shape, I would not waste money on anything but a neck lift.
I would advise you to choose your surgeon carefully – creating a natural lift at a young age requires great surgical judgment and skill.  Considering you will likely have at least one more lift as you age, it is very important that the foundations for that future surgery are laid during your first procedure, as well. Getting the nicest and most natural results in cases like yours requires an expertly-done deep neckilft. Liposuction, Kybella, Coolsculpting, mirconeedling, etc will not create a similar result.
