40 years old. Gained 32lb then lost 20, will lose 15 more. My huge cheeks sagged down with the weight loss (yak). Now i have a horrible turkey neck, and intolerable jowling. You can see that my face is very heavy in general (front view pictures). The turkey neck and jowls are obvious in the magnified side view pictures. I want a perfect 90° neck/chin angle, not just a little improvement. What are my options. Neck lift, mini neck lift, neck Lipo, chin implant, or a combination of a few? Thanks.
Answer: Options to define neck Before a patient could be candidate for a surgery, they have to be in great health. If a patient is in good health, then I look at the anatomy to guide my recommendations. When looking at your anatomy you have: 1) Excess skin in the neck 2) Poorly defined jawline 3) Jowls 4) Weak Chin You have a heavy neck or excess fat in the neck. In my practice I would recommend: 1) Neck lift with platysmaplasty 2) Chin Implant These 2 procedures will provide a long elegant and defined jawline. I hope this helps.

Answer: Best Way to Achieve a 90° Neck/Chin Angle and Define Jaw Line It's difficult to confirm what #solution is best based on photos alone. It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person. In some cases your plastic surgeon may give you more than one option to choose from. A neck lift is a general term used for rejuvenating the neckline to create a more youthful attractive appearance. There are various surgical techniques for a neck lift which will be discussed during your consultation. Also, additional procedures may be suggested to complement the neck lift for optimal results. The factors which are considered to first determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck include: •Visibility and amount of excess fat below the chin and along the neckline.•The presence of banding down the front of the #neck.•The amount of #excess skin and condition of your skin.•Chin Deficiency.•Presence of Prominent Digastric Muscles (a.k.a. submandibular gland fullness)If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to improve your concern. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #neck lift procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Answer: Neck Improvement Options Thank you for your question, Chloe.B.28, and for the various pictures at different angles. I suggest you consider the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift which provides a natural appearance utilizing leading technology in facial plastics to offer patients a short recovery of only a few days with minimal discomfort. Kybella is an injectable, on the other hand, and is able to contour and improve the jawline by addressing submental fullness due to submental fat. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine which of these two and other treatments is most aligned with your goals, timetable, procedure preference and cost. Best wishes,

Answer: Chin Implant, Neck Lipo, Neck Lift Most importantly: congratulations on your weight loss. It is excellent that you are reversing your weight gain, and protecting your health. To create a sharper jawline and eliminate the turkey neck and jowling, I would perform a neck lift with all incisions hidden behind your ear crease. I would insert an intraoral chin implant (I insert the implant through an incision in your gums, thereby not creating any external scars and preventing the implant from potentially slipping in the future, as it can when the incision is on the external skin of the chin). I would also very importantly liposuction your neck to remove excess fat. The proportions of all of these elements -- how much skin to resect, what size implant to use, and how much fat to remove -- are all the nuanced elements of a plastic-surgeon's aesthetic. When done with sophistication, the results can be natural-looking and spectacular. Again, keep up the good work with your weight loss.

Answer: Best way to achieve a 90° neck/chin angle and define a jaw line? Always had heavy lower cheeks. Other issues are recent The anatomy of the neck muscles and the insertion of your muscles will determine if a 90 degree neck line is possible-it may not be.However a neck lift with platysmaplasty, submental lipectomy (fat emoval) and a chin implant should make a nice differrence
