What is the best option for targeting double chin? Can this be combined with a brow and cheek list? (photos)

Question

Hello, I’ve got some skin and some fat that I want to remove under my chin. Some doctors have said that I need to do a chin implant and liposuction and sutures.. someone else said I can do liposuction and facetite, some kind of laser t treatment. What’s the best option for me from what it looks like? My double chin is usually there even when loosing weight, however it’s smaller. Also I thinking of doing an eyebrowalift and cheek lift at the same time. Are those too much with recovery ?

Ultherapy  is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy  is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Best,

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite 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 formal evaluation and to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals. Best, Dr. Emer"

Thank you for your enquiry and sharing your photographs.

The fullness under your chin seems to be related to the floor of the mouth rather than fatty tissue. It can be controlled through a short scar neck lift or anterior neck lift which involves an incision and therefore scar under the chin. Through this access it is possible to address the volume under the chin very effectively.

There is slight laxity along the jawline and chin implant could help to absorb it. Micro liposuction can also help but is more variable. It can of course also be targeted through a facelift intervention.

If you are contemplating a cheek lift procedure, you need to define very well what you wish to achieve with it. My impression is that a minimal access facelift might be more alignment with your aesthetic goals but because this is in the absence of a proper conversation on the subject.

thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for neck, liposuction and skin tightening using Renuvion or J plasma.  
in addition, MyEllevate procedure will give you a neck lift without any external scars. I believe you can achieve chin augmentation with filler/your own fat without the use of implants. Moreover, you may have a cheek lift/brow lift at the same time under sedation. It is best to have a virtual consultation to discuss options, of course.

Dear Annaannam,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
