What would be the best permanent solution for my neck? Neck lift, genioplasty or liposuction? (Photos)

Question

What would be the best permanent solution to my genetically heavy neck? My mother as well as my grandmother both have the same issue. I carry a lot of weight in my neck and have a terrible side profile and zero definition. I want as permanent of a fix as possible. My neck area makes it look like I am overweight but I am not. I am 28 years old. Please help!

Dear danikazkkak,
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. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I think that you will need a combination of treatment to achieve your stated goals. I would recommend a chin implant or genioplasty (depending on the amount of forward projection needed) and submental and jawline liposuction. Once healed, I would re-evaluate the cervical mental angle to determine if further surgery is required. In some case, no further treatment is needed. In other cases, a platysmaplasty may be needed.
