Question

I feel my double chin is a combination of fat and loose skin. Would this treatment work well? What kind of results could I expect? I’m not a candidate for CoolSculpting bc it doesn’t fit on my chin. I’m also afraid of needles and don’t want to do Kybella.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

if you want jawline contouring and neck tightening my younger clients do facetite, morpheus and threads. kybella, minifx, coolsculpting all do very little and do not contour the neck.

if you want a dramatic change necklift/facelift, Implants and fillers will give you that. noninvasive will improve the area and facetite, threads, morpheus, and fillers can be used.  start at home dermarolling to tighten you skin -- emeragecosmetics MTS 0.5mm roller + refit face/eye + anteageMD ampules.

With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
