What procedure can help me with my jawline? (Photos)

Question

I am a 27yo F. I am really active/thin but have always had an issue with having just roundness at my jawline and a double chin when I look down or smile. I am not sure whether I would benefit from liposuction because it also feels like I have excess skin which is contributing the rolls in my side profile. Do I have a weak bone structure or would a neck lift help remove the fat/skin and give me a better profile. I’ve been saving up to address it this year as it’s a huge insecurity. Thanks!

It's unlikely that you have excess skin and your best bet would be to do liposuction.  I usually add laser-assisted skin tightening but at your age, it would probably not matter.  Young people with some bunching and a little excess fat usually get a nice result with liposuction alone.
  The next step up if you later have some laxity that bothers you would be MyEllevate, which is a non- incision suture suspension necklift done through tiny punctures that allow release of the platysma and suspension of the neck skin and muscle up into the  cervicomental angle with a permanent suture that enhances the jawline as well.

You may have the best result from a combination of treatments.  You could consider some liposuction in conjunction with Morpheus8.  The liposuction would remove excess fatty tissue.  The Morpheus8 treatments would address overall skin tone and texture.  If further contouring is needed you can add fillers.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

I would recommend a deep plane neck lift with superficial fat liposuction. This would best address the deep structures below the platysma muscle in the neck (these cannot be liposuctioned). The superficial liposuction of the fat immediately below the skin needs to be very conservative as this fat is critical to having smooth, shiny and normal looking skin. You need to find an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified surgeon; ideally, this surgeon has also completed an aesthetic fellowship accredited by the Aesthetic Society.

Based on these photos it is very likely that anterior neck lift would be good option for you. A small incision placed underneath the chin would allow for rearrangement of the platysma muscle ( platysmaplasty) and removal of superficial and deep fat. There is no need for skin excision. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure is recommended. Good luck.

Liposuction under local with facetite and Morpheus can give a beautiful jawline and neck with only 1 day downtime for roughly $5000. Go to work in 1 day looking amazing!
