I'm aware my jawline is moving south (I'm 46), but it also feels like its filling out towards my chin, which could be weight gain (normally 130, now 140). I wonder if a neck lift is best for me, because the space between my chin and throat feel tight, even if I pull up on my neck it feels constricted and not like I'm yanking on excess skin but actually pulling on muscle. For the most part I look really good for my age, aside from my neck/jowls, so any help and/or advice would be appreciated.

Answer: Tightneing neck and jawline Good morning!Looking at your photos, I would suggest a lower facelift and neck lift to address the problems. The muscle/fat layer that is giving you laxity in your neck is the same layer of tissue that is giving you the early jowling. Elevation of these tissue will make a big difference in both your neck and jawline.I hope this helps.

Answer: Is neck tightening possible with a smallish space between chin and neck? In almost every case, neck tightening can be expected with a facelift and/ or necklift procedure. The question is how much tightening can be expected. During a necklift consultation your neck will be examined and you should be counseled about how much of a lift can be expected and what procedure would be best. In some cases when the bone and cartilage of the voicebox are low and positioned forward a very marginal lift can be achieved. Your photos actually suggest that you would be a good candidate but that would need to be confirmed during an in person consultation. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
