Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit most from a combination of treatments to rejuvenate the appearance of your lower face. Kybella is an injectable formula composed of a naturally occurring substance that destroys fat cells under the chin once injected. This treatment option is administered in a few sessions over the course of several weeks and produces long-lasting results. 
RF microneedling uses hair-thin needles and radiofrequency technology to stimulate the body’s natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.  This treatment can increase the skin’s volume and make it appear more firm and supple, with results lasting up to five years or more. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your concerns with you and review your medical history to suggest the best treatment options for you.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
