I am currently 5'6 and 122 lbs and I am very active. I have noticed this past two years the skin around my neck is either loose or sagging and when I look down it looks like a have a double chin. I have gone in for a consult and the doctor said I'm not a candidate for Kybella as I have no fat. Do I possibly need a chin implant or are there fillers or another procedure to start to tighten and pull back the skin?
Answer: Neck Tightening Your photos demonstrate a beautiful face, with excellent skin and nearly no fat under the chin. At your age and with your skin, I would recommend two procedures: (1) Small chin implant - this can give more proportion to the chin and help create better lines in the neck. It is placed through a hidden, small incision just under the chin. (2) Energy treatment - Ulthera or other radiofrequency treatments (like EndyMed) can help to tighten skin and underlying tissue. With this combined approach, you should notice a subtle difference in your neck but look completely natural. Hope this helps! Best, Dr. Cabin

Answer: Skin Tightening for the Neck -- Kybella, Ultherapy, Thermage, PDO NovaThreads vs VASER Hi-Def, ThermiRF, Renuvion, BodyTite "A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options. I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma) and InMode BodyTite to contour and tighten the chin and neck. A neck lift can be performed at the same time, if you're a good candidate. I suggest seeing a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you.

Answer: Neck tightening and chin appearance Thank you for your question. You have beautiful facial features but you would have an improved appearance if you were to have a chin implant or genioplasty. Both procedures can be performed in the office and will greatly improve the appearance of your jawline in both a frontal view and lateral view. Unlike fillers which are not permanent, a genioplasty or chin implant is a permanent solution and does not need further or repeat treatment.

Answer: Neck fat/loose skin what to use to tighten? From the limited photographs presented, there is very little if any fat in the neck, and the skin tone is adequate. There appears to be a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve. A small silastic chin implant can be placed through an incision under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. This will also help stretch the skin in the underneath the chin as well somewhat. For more information and many examples of chin implants, please see the link and the video below
