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!

Answer: Neck lift 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.

Answer: Sbumental excess it appears you have some excess submental fat stores that would likely be very amendable to submental liposuction. In younger patients, liposuction is a great option as very few patients your age who have not undergone massive weight loss have little to no true skin excess of the neck and also have very healthy skin that will respond/contract well after liposuction. This procedure would allow for improved contour of the jawline and reduce this perceived skin laxity. It can be done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime and recovery.
