Do I need neck lipo, a neck lift, or a mini face lift? (Photo)

Question

Early jowls run in my family. Mine were starting to show despite cheek filler before pregnancy, but with the weight gain of pregnancy, I can't even see my jawline anymore. I'm 6 months post partum and have lost most of the weight, with no change to my face, which is frustrating! Thank you for the advice!

A facelift would be a good option (this is a neck lift that will also address some of the jowling. But, there is an office procedure (necktite plus morpheus) which is called "embrace" and it really works.  Look for information and watch our videos. It's an office procedure and you'd be great for that.

The photographs demonstrate genetic fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. A necklift procedure can accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the muscle with liposuction while Surgical removal of the fat deposits below the muscle is required. A platysma plasty is also performed to significantly improve the jawline. Liposuction alone won't be very effective because most of your fat deposits are located below the muscle. It also appears that you may have a recessive chin profile, so if that's the case, consider placement of a small Chin implant to Augment your chin forward which will be complementary to the neck lift
