When I went in for a possible Chin liposuction consultation, the doctor suggested a Mini lift instead. I have some fat under my chin and jowls. I am not extremelly overweight--I weigh 149 lbs. at 5'2". What is your opinion about facelifts as far as age is concerned?
Answer: Most cases only need liposuction for excess fat of the neck/jowls in 32 yr olds
Liposuction of the jowls, jawline and under chin areas is very common in 32 yr olds and makes a big improvement for only $2500 on special and is done under local anesthesia with patients back to work in 1-2 days. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Answer: Non-Surgical Face Lift / Skin Resurfacing with Renuvion/J-Plasma -- add Lasers, Microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy, FaceTite In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: You may benefit from a submentoplasty Sometimes young patients, like yourself, who have excess fat under the chin may also have excess skin with reduced elasticity in the region. In many cases, liposuction alone will improve the neck. In some cases however, only removing the fat may expose skin and muscle laxity. A submentoplasty not only removes fat, but also trims and ties the underlying platysmal muscle together (also called a platysmaplasty) to tighten the neckline. This is preferable to overaggressive liposuction which can leave the skin too thin. If, however, you also have jowls or advanced skin laxity, I would recommend a mini lift as well. If a 30-year-old patient has jowls, I am not going to tell them a lifting procedure is not appropriate just because of their age. Yes, facial aging and chronological age often coincide, but not always. I think a problem-based approach is superior to an age-based approach. I hope that helped!

Answer: Mini lift in a 32 Year Old?
As other posters have correctly stated, a physical examination is required before a definitive answer can be given. However, I can tell you that 32 year old mini lift candidates are as rare as four leaf clovers. Unfortunately, indications are no obstacle for some Surgeons. Given your age, you are most likely in the selective liposuction category.

Answer: Mini lift in 32 year old
I don't believe that any of us can answer this question without seeing you or at least good photos of you. Yes, chin lipo may be all that you need but it will not correct the problem of excess skin and a well designed mini lift is not that much bigger procedure and may yield a happier result.
