Im a 27 year old Caucasian witch sagging jowls and neck after years of weight fluctuation. I'm trying to gauge whether I'm a good candidate for a deep plane neck lift (even though I'm still in my 20s) or if I can use treatments such as Morpheus8, ultherapy and fillers to get a good result. It's a huge insecurity of mine and I just want a nice defined neck again. It is mainly skin, not much fat there anymore.
Answer: Liposuction and Skin Tightening for Jaw Contouring 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.

Answer: Vaser Liposuction and Renuvion for Neck 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

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring 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

Answer: Neck lift with liposuction 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.
