Loose skin under chin, double chin smiling, and one more prominent jowl (left). Am I a candidate for a mini neck lift? (Photos)

I’m looking to address the loose skin under my chin, the double chin I get when I smile, and the one more prominent jowl on my left side. This loose skin was caused by liposuction under my chin in 2011, and then made worse by 2 rounds of kybella in 2018 and 2019. I also had a chin implant in 2020. I was hoping for perhaps a slightly less invasive procedure, like a “mini” lift. Would I be a candidate for that, or need a full neck lift? I don’t need the perfect jawline, I just want to correct the sagging and loose skin. It’s just this specific issue I want to correct, and I am not interested in addressing anything above my lower face / jawline or additional procedures.

As a person in their thirties, it's usually best to try avoid lifting procedures that involve even short scars. You would definitely benefit from neck/chin liposuction. Also, it's a little hard to tell from the photo, but you might benefit from a chin implant at the same. This combination works...

Based on your photos, a simple machine treatment will not give you the long term result you would want, so it would be a waste of money. Sometimes they are done in conjunction with a surgical treatment, but when there is heaviness under the neck, a surgical treatment always gives a much better,...

Great question and thank you for providing photos. That area on your neck is secondary to a bit of loosening of the platysma muscle and overlying skin. Botox can sometimes soften this, but ultimately a neck lift and/or lower facelift would likely lead to the most noticeable improvement in this...

If you're bothered by the visible neck platysmal lines and the skin texture, then this is primarily something to work on the skin level -- treatments like lasers, RFMN to build up collagen in the skin will be best for you here to strengthen the skin so you see less of the platysma through it and...
