I am 25 years old and have had several different opinions from surgeons about which procedure will fix my neck. I have had chin liposuction, a neck lift, and kybella recommended. I am feeling very lost as to what to do!
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Neck Contouring at 25 Hi, thanks for sharing your photo. For a 25-year-old with your neck contour, I would probably not recommend a neck lift. I also think Kybella may be a bit underwhelming for you. To get the best results, you have break down and identify all the "problems" of an area; the best results will be a plan that identifies as many of these issues as possible. For you, it looks like a bit of excess submental fat, mild skin laxity, and under-projection of your chin. In order to address all of these, I would suggest submental liposuction (for excess adipose in this area), FaceTite - minimally invasive approach that induces soft tissue contraction with radiofrequency energy (for the skin laxity component) and fat transfer to the chin (for chin under-projection). Best of luck!

Answer: Chin liposuction Dear chloediaz21, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Do I need liposuction or a neck lift From the one very limited photograph, there appears to be a recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve the projection of your mandible. In the neck itself, there appears to be fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle. To remove both compartments of fat requires a neck lift with a platysma-plasty. No skin removal is required. Also important to Make sure your BMI is less than 30 for optimum results

Answer: Chin lipo or neck lift It appears that you have a congenitally small chin and perhaps malocclusion issues. Certainly a neck lift with a chin implant will give you the most dramatic result but at 25 you might try the chin and neck lipo to see if this gives you what you want. Could always do the neck lift in the future. Sometimes less is Best!
