27 year old with sagging neck and jowls! Am I candidate for neck lift? (photos)

It is difficult to make a recommendation without an in-person assessment. I would need to examine how much of your concern is skin laxity and how much might be due to submental fat underneath the chin. Submental fat is usually best treated with liposuction. Skin laxity can be addressed using both nonsurgical and surgical treatments, depending on the amount of correction required. Collagen induction therapies like PRP microneedling might be a good choice for mild skin laxity, while more severe laxity may need to be addressed with surgery. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person and create a treatment plan that meets your needs and goals best. 

Thank you for your question and pictures.  You would be a good candidate for Vaser Liposuction with Renuvion under the chin.  This liposuction turns the fat to liquid meaning no irregularities when removed and then the Renuvion is used to tighten the skin.  This will give you a nice L shaped, slender neck.  The procedure will only take 1 hour and can be performed under a local anaesthetic or twilight sedation.  You will need to wear a garment for two weeks.  The first week you will have to wear the garment 24/7 apart from showering and eating.  The second week you only need to wear of a nighttime.  All The Best 

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

Dear kellysmith11Thank you for your questions and photos!  The neck skin can respond to conservative treatments - Thermage, Jplasma , BOTOX , - an assessment in person to determine what would be best  with your goals in mind.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Based on these photos and short of in person evaluation, I would be inclined to propose neck lift with liposuction of jawline and jowls. It appears that your neck fold is result of interplay between fat compartments and anterior platysma muscle (may be a family feature?) and, for that reason I would suggest this treatment in such an early age as yours. Small incision underneath the chin will be the only visible sign of this very predictable correction; procedure is done in twilight or local anesthesia. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in neck/face lift is recommended. Good luck.  

Thank you for sharing your photos!
 While it is difficult to say without an in-person
examination, you may benefit from a neck lift and non-surgical options. "Double
chin” is one of the most frustrating issues for patients, because it can be a
stubborn area that does not respond to exercise or diet. Until recently, the
only solution was surgery. KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first
and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that is used in adults to improve
the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental
fat), also called, “double chin.” Kybella is administered via
injection, and two to four treatments are recommended over an 8-12 week period.
It is effective for even a small amount of fat under the chin.
You may also get improved neck contour with small incision surgery
using a combination of liposculpture techniques that remove fatty neck deposits
and help tighten skin. The neck lift is an easy way to reduce jowls, eliminate
a double chin, slim the bands of muscle that form the wattle, and tighten neck
skin. Typically, a surgeon will also decide to perform a lipectomy, suctioning
out fat in order to resculpt the area. A lipectomy is performed through an
incision less than a centimeter long under the chin and a 2 mm incision in the
crease of the earlobe. A cannula is then inserted and fat is liposuctioned out
in order to resculpt the neckline. If a neck lift is also being performed,
excess skin will be removed. This can be done under twilight sedation with
local anesthesia, instead of general anesthesia.
In addition, you may also benefit from Thermage®. Thermage is a
safe, non-invasive, radiofrequency (RF) cosmetic procedure that’s clinically
proven to help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking
appearance. This can treat sagging skin, loose jowls, lack of definition in the
jaw line, sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”), wrinkles and fine lines, and lack
of definition in the lips. Thermage® uses radiofrequency technology to heat the
deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps tighten existing
collagen and stimulate the formation of new collagen, which reduces sagging,
renews contours, and improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface.
The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime —on
all skin colors, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Fast and easy,
you can even come in during your lunch break and return to work after! 
 I suggest you make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon
to discuss what treatments are right for you.

While there is no substitute for an face to face consultation, I think that you are a good candidate for Morpheus and perhaps a better candidate for FaceTite by InMode.
