I was born with my neck dtarting from my chin (as can be seen in the photo) and it hasn't changed since. I'm 21 years old and I just want to know what options are out there for me. I'm in good shape, exercise daily and am in a healthy weight range. Is there a natural way to correct this or any minimal invasive procedures can be done?
Answer: Neck definition You have less definition of the neck angle than you're likely wishing. There are good surgical and non-surgical treatments for this, and you need to find out your options by having a proper examination with a qualified plastic surgeon. Be sure to discuss with your own surgeon about how this applies to you, and whether they have any special concerns in your case.

Answer: Neck shape issue Thank you for the question. Others have suggested that this is fat excess. If so, Kybella or liposuction would be great options. However, since you say that this has always been your neck shape, please consider that this may be related to the anatomy of your neck structures. In some patients, the voice box is very anterior -- this leads to a more obtuse neck angle and limits the efficacy of treatments like facelift, neck lift, liposuction, etc. You need to have an in-person examination with a board certified specialist to determine candidacy for procedures. Best of luck moving forward!

Answer: Double chin in 21 year old Most of your issue is related to fat excess. Therefore, surgical or non-surgical fat reduction will provide you with a significant benefit. By far the best outcome with most longevity will be accomplished with surgical neck sculpting.

Answer: Neck Rejuvenation It is difficult to accurately assess your neck from limited photos. Typically, lack of neckline definition is caused by excess fatty tissue in the neck and/or loose neck skin or muscles. Lack of definition in this area is a common complaint of patients young and old. Depending on the cause, there are many procedures to address your issues. Neck liposuction is an excellent procedure to target excess fatty tissue which does not go away with diet and excercise. Skin or muscle laxity can be addressed with a limited necklift in your age population. Necklift can be combined with liposuction if both skin laxity and excess fat are present. I suggest consultation with a board certified surgeon specializing in facial cosmetic surgery. Good Luck!
