Laser liposuction or Facetite on the chin - which procedure would deliver noticeable results the fastest? 37 y/o (photos)

Question

I would like to know what treatment would be best for me to remove my double chin and have jawline? With which treatment i can see the result sooner? I’m 37 years old

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

"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"

It appears that you have a recessed chin and would likely benefit from a chin advancement surgery and simultaneous chin and jawline liposuction. In some cases, I perform a tightening platsymaplasty at the same time.

There are several treatments available to remove a double chin and enhance the appearance of your jawline. The best treatment option for you will depend on various factors, including the underlying cause of your double chin and your overall health.

Some of the most effective treatments for double chin and jawline enhancement include:

Kybella: This is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid into the fat beneath the chin. This treatment dissolves the fat, which is then eliminated from the body through natural processes. You may need multiple sessions to see significant results, but many patients notice an improvement in their double chin after just a few treatments.
CoolSculpting: This is another non-surgical option that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. The treatment is performed using a handheld device that is placed under the chin. Like Kybella, you may need multiple sessions to see the best results.
Neck lift: This surgical procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the neck area to create a more defined jawline. This procedure provides immediate and long-lasting results, but it does require downtime for recovery.
Chin implant: This is a surgical procedure that involves placing an implant in the chin to improve its shape and size. This procedure can be done alone or in combination with a neck lift to create a more defined jawline.
It's important to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional who can evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best treatment option for you. In terms of seeing results sooner, non-surgical treatments like Kybella and CoolSculpting typically have shorter recovery times and may provide noticeable results in a shorter amount of time than surgical options like a neck lift or chin implant.

Best of luck !

Noninvasive treatments simply  will not be very effective. A full set of facial photographs from all angles would be helpful to make a determination about how best to proceed. If the fat deposits in your neck are located completely above the platysma muscle, then liposuction can accomplish a nice result. If you're fat deposits are located below the platysma muscle, and then a neck lift procedure is going to be required to surgically extract fat deposits below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. No skin removal is required. If there is a recessive Chin profile present, then consider placement placement of a small chin implant for better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck in addition to better facial balance and proportions.
