Can a Neck Lift get rid of my excess chin fat and improve my jawline or do I need a Facelift? (photos)

To improve one's jaw line and chin, the excess fatty tissue is removed with liposuction and at times the deeper fat by direct inside with a scar in the submental/ chin crease. Patient's with good skin quality will often have adequate skin redraping with lipo alone. If excess skin, then skin excision is necessary with either a neck lift or facelift. A facelift best addresses the jawline by repositioning the SMAS and soft tissue.

For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift/neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
