Question

But I am unhappy with the overall shape of my afce into my neck I feel like it has sort of a thumb shape being my upper head is more narrow than my lower I am considering neck lipo but should there be a different procedure to look into I want a more feminine looking chin and neck without the weird thumb shape of my over all face

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

I suggest beginning with an in-person consultation to discuss your options. During your initial examination, your #chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Also, #liposuction under the chin is also another option your doctor can discuss. If you are not a candidate for chin or neck rejuvenation at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern. 
However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Neck liposuction is a great option for patients with good skin elasticity and excess fat in the neck and around the jawline. Liposuction is effective at removing this excess fat and stimulating the skin to contract over time to create improved angulation and definition along the jawline. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Difficult to tell from this pic but generally you may benefit from laser Lipo of your neck and possibly some fat grafting of your chin and or cheeks. Of course an in person or Skype/FaceTime consult is best to see what your options are and discuss the risks and benefits.

A full set of facial photographs in a Chin-neutral position required to make a determination about the appropriate surgical procedure. It is important to know that there are fatty deposits loca •ted above and below the platysma muscle, and both need to be addressed and removed in order to rejuvenate the neck. When removing sub- platysmal fat, a platysma-plasty is required which also improves the neckline and jawline. For many examples, please see the link and the video below
