How to get rid of frog-like neck long-term and tighten my neck and jowls? (Photos)

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.

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.

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.

Hi l00kingintoit

Neck liposuction is performed if there is isolated fat in the neck below the jawline. Fat in the neck not only camouflages the sharp angle between the neck and jawline, but the weight of the fat pulls the tissue down faster over time. Neck liposuction is performed first before the neck lift to debulk the fat and define the neck. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

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.

The limited photographs demonstrate a significant fat deposits in the neck located above and below the platysma muscle in addition to a recessive chin profile. Consider placement of a chin implant along with a neck lift procedure. A neck lift accomplishes removal of fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle in addition to the platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. No skin removal is required at age 26.
