Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Neck liposuction is a great option for patients with good skin elasticity and excess fat in the neck and around the jawline. This will remove excess fat and stimulate the skin to contract over time which will improve angulation and definition along the jawline. I recommend seeing an expert for a consultation. I hope this helps!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

First of all, it's important to understand why  You are on prednisone, and whether or not you're a candidate for elective cosmetic surgery. In our practice,  when patients are on prednisone, most of the fat is located below the platysma muscle which  will need to be removed with a lower face and neck lift procedure. Best to get clearance from your primary care physician. Removal of fat  with liposuction will only make the skin issue worse

Hello dear
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on your photo you are a good candidate for chin liposuction, 
Chin liposuction may be an option, it makes you look younger and more 
attractive with a sharp jawline , and better facial proportions.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic
 surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)
