29, 5'9" & about 145 lbs - am I a good age for mini facelift? (Photos)

Question

I'I have good skin elasticity, but I've had plastic surgeons tell me my double chin is due to hereditary extra skin. And both sides of my family have fairly loose neck skin, unfortunately. Would a mini neck lift be an appropriate way of getting a more definition?

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The limited photographs demonstrate a recession chin profile, and fat deposits in the neck. At age 29, your skin tone should be excellent. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward for better facial balance and proportions, and better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. A neck lift procedure can accomplish removal of the fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. No skin removal should be necessary.
