I would like to have surgery to improve my jawline but I'm confused about my options. I assume I will need Liposuction, but what about the neck bands and the front profile?
Would it be a Neck lift, lower Face Lift, short scar facelift? I am not quite 40 yet, but close. No Chin implants please. I know my profile shot shows a weak chin, but when I smile my chin comes out to play, and I am quite happy with it.
Answer: Lower Facelift and Necklift Under Local Anaesthetic Thank you for your picture and questions. You would be a good candidate for local anaesthetist facelift and neck lift which will remove any excess skin. This would help achieve a contoured L shaped neck and remove any jowls, giving a nice sharp jawline. Most of my patients want a facelift however do not want the downtime associated. The Concept Facelift and Necklift is the procedure I perform, which combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days. If you have lax facial skin, lost volume and feel that you have jowls and wrinkles on your cheeks and you look tired when you're not then the concept facelift can help improve your appearance. With concept facelift you will look natural and fresh just like the way you feel inside. There are no bandages, drains and hospital stay but with lasting results of traditional facelift techniques it fits with today's age. Typically recovery period is 7-10 days as you do tend to bruise more with your eyes than facelift and necklift. You would need to return for a follow up appointment 7 days later to check your healing progress. What are the benefits of a local anaesthetic facelift? Minimally invasive as it is a short scar facelift, although has the same effects as the Traditional Facelift as the SMAS muscle is tightened along with the skin.There is minimal bruising and swelling, especially when compared to traditional faceliftsAs the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you can go straight home following the procedureFull recovery in a matter of days rather than monthsSignificantly less risk than Facelifts performed under general anaestheticFresh, youthful and long lasting resultsPlease make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can

Answer: Procedures to Improve Bottom Heavy Face A person’s age is best guessed by the appearance of their face. If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel inside, you may be a candidate for a facelift.During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. Like the Life-Style™ facelift, this is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.

Answer: Liposuction could be the answer... Although your pictures are helpful, it’s hard to make a recommendation without performing a physical examination. Your pictures suggest submental fat deposition with surprisingly minimal skin laxity. Some of your lateral pictures suggest redundant skin but your head appears to be turned to the side. Under these circumstances, skin folds would be expected.Based on these findings a facelift probably isn’t indicated under these circumstances, treatment of submental fat with conservative liposuction would result in excellent contour improvement.If you’re considering treatment of this problem, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to perform an examination and make an appropriate recommendation.

Answer: A chin implant would be placed against the bone of your jaw so that it feels like an extension of your natural jawline
While you are not fond of the idea of the chin implant, that may still be the best choice. A chin implant would be placed against the bone of your jaw so that it feels like an extension of your natural jawline. Not only would this improve your jawline and front profile, but it would also improve your side profile and the contours of your neck. I believe that a facelift or neck lift are more aggressive approaches than you need at this point.

Answer: Improving a bottom heavy face
According to the picture shown, there is no evidence of needing a face/neck lift or neck bands. It is impossible to narrow the lower third of the face. Liposuction is not a good idea since there is no fat in that area of that chin. In the neck structure itself, the primary goal of a neck lift is to remove excess fat above and below the platysma muscle to sharply delineate the jawline and tighten the neck muscles.
