I would like to get rid of my double-chin & jowls & have a sharper, more defined jawline. I'm 37 & while I'm sure aging hasn't helped, I had a 'heavy' lower face even when I was young (I think it's mostly fat as opposed to sagging skin). I've talked to multiple surgeons & they've all recommended different treatments (neck lift, chin implant, facelift, buccal fat, submentoplasty). Did chin lipo & fillers but want something more dramatic.
Answer: Why Kybella may be right for you Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit most from Kybella injections to smooth the area under your chin and create a more contoured jawline. This treatment uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve submental fat, the fat cells under the chin, to define your jawline with long-lasting results. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or injector. They will be able to review your treatment history and discuss your concern with you to help you decide on the best approach.

Answer: 37 desiring more defined neckline. Dear Trixie, You have received all the standard answers, surgery, liposuction, The chin lipo was not sufficient for the definition you want. You might want to consider Dr. Mueller's novel procedure, MyEllevate, developed and marketed with Cynosure. This is a non-incision suture suspension necklift that has the potential to tuck up the platysma and give a better angle between the neck and the chin. You look like a good candidate since your age and condition do not show a lot of laxity. You can research this online, on my website, and I have added a testimonial link that reviews what was done for a patient with a fatty neck without jawline definition.

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: Chin & Jawline Contouring for a 30-Something Thanks for sharing your photos. In general, your neck and chin lines aren't too bad. So, I would reserve more aggressive procedures for instances where a lot more work needs to be done to achieve ideal results. You would get good results from a minimally invasive approach. I would start with Morpheus to your submentum and jowls. I would also add filler to your jawline (pre and post-jowl sulci), chin and mental crease (indention seen on the side view between your lower lip and chin).

Answer: Neck lift It seems that most of your surrent issue comes due to deep fat deposits underneath platysma muscle; these are not something to be corrected with liposuction. Open approach, by means of anterior neck lift, through a small incision underneath the chin will allow surgeon to remove deep fat and rearrange platysma muscle. Liposuction along the jawline would help to give more definition to the jaw and chin. Not sure about chin augmentation; in person evaluation would help. Hope this helps. Good luck.
