Loose skin after jaw surgery - what are my options? (Photo)

Melissa39605
Hello! About five years ago (I'm now 28) I received jaw surgery to correct my mandibular prognathism. I now have skin that appears to "hang" around my jawline, creating a kind of double chin issue, and I am so unhappy with my current profile. I am not sure what would be the proper procedure to create a more pleasing appearance: a facelift and rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty alone? I appreciate your taking the time to answer. Thanks!
