In 2017 I had thyroid surgery to remove a tumor and half my thyroid. I had gained 60 pounds over the 3 years and recently I have lost 40 pounds. June 2019 I had Kybella injections to help with my double chin. I feel like it wasn't effective and I don't wish to go this route again. Under my chin has gotten worse since I lost weight it seems like. I'm wondering about options that can get rid of this long term + help tighten my neck and jowls. I am 26. Thank you for your help!
Answer: Best options to sculpt the jawline and neck Hello and thank you for your question. Weight changes like yours can lead to skin laxity, even in younger patients. If you have loose skin as well as the fat deposit, you might benefit most from a combination of neck liposuction to remove the submental fat and a surgical neck lift to address the excess skin. It is also possible you have a recessed chin, although it is difficult to tell for sure from the photos provided. If that is the case, the addition of a chin implant during your procedure could bring your profile into proportion and put the finishing touch on your jaw contouring. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can perform a comprehensive examination and create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Neck lift, possibly chin augmentation Based on these photos you seem to be a candidate for neck lift. Through a small incision underneath the chin fat tissue can be removed, platysma muscle arranged, jowls and jawline cleaned with liposuction. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face and neck lifts is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: How to get rid of frog-like neck long-term and tighten my neck and jowls? (Photos Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. An in-person examination is necessary to assess your skin quality but either liposuction alone or liposuction with a formal neck and lower face lift would provide the best, longest-lasting results. Hope this helps.
