Hi, I'm not sure what I'd need but I seem to have a small double chin which connects into my face lines and divides the front of my face from the back. Almost into two faces. What type of procedure would you recommend? I'm 37 years old.
Answer: Improve appearance of this by doing Morpheus8 to minimize double chin and Clear&Brilliant for harsh lines Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Deep plane neck lift or facelift and neck lift Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. In my opinion, the most reliable approach would be a deep plane neck lift, potentially associated with a lower facelift. Depending on the contour of the neck in neutral position, deep plane facelift may also be adequate but your photographs do not allow comprehensive evaluation. Nonsurgical tightening techniques may offer some benefits but would come short of the degree of correction that I believe you are contemplating.

Answer: Double chin Dear spongecake it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Which procedure would help minimize the appearance of a double chin and lines Much more information as needed, such as a full set of facial, Chin and neck photographs to make a determination about how best to proceed. A mini facelift would be required for extra skin removal, a neck lift would be performed for fat removal in that area, and a chin implant is used for the recessive chin profile
