Is there anything I can do for my sagging skin under my chin and jaw other than a chin implant?

Question

I’m only 20 but have sagging skin and a little fat under my chin/jaw. My small chin doesn’t help it. Would liposuction fix this? If so could anyone give me a cost estimate? Or there any cheaper treatments that would work? I plan to get a chin implant in the when I can afford it in the future but I wanted to know if there is any way I can fix this sagging skin now at a cheaper cost

Thank you for your question. There are different nonsurgical treatments you can use to tighten up the area under the chin and restore definition to the facial profile. I offer nonsurgical skin tightening for patients that are primarily concerned with skin laxity. If submental fat is also a concern, liposculpture can be used to remove that stubborn fat with or without the skin tightening treatment. Dermal fillers can also be used to augment your chin until you are ready to invest in the more permanent surgical improvement. You want to be sure the doctor you work with is a board-certified dermatologist and has extensive experience in these treatments so that you receive an accurate assessment of your concerns and the right treatment plan for you. Good luck!

Its hard to tell 100% from a picture but any of a chin implant or liposuction would help define the jawline and neck better. When you are young and you remove the fat under the chin your skin is amazing and sucks right back down and sucks down tighter than before! If you are old and remove the fat you end up with just some loose skin so definitely you would benefit from liposuction in tightening the angles of your neck. I believe we cannot tell you prices here but there is a range from $1000 to $6000. If you call offices most can give you their pricing over the phone. You can do it with just straight numbing injections or be fully asleep. It is quick (30 minutes) and you go home the same day. Generally you will wear a wrap around your chin and neck for a efw days to help tighten the area. Hope that helps!
