Interested in a procedure to smooth neck and lift chin to emphasize my jaw line which is lacking?

Question

I am in my mid 20s have a healthy bmi but have had a round loose neckline since childhood. I was told it was baby fat and would go away, it didn't. I appear to have the neck of a much older woman. What is my best option? Neck Liposuction? Chin implant? Something else?

The combination of chin augmentation and submental/jawline liposuction is what will serve you the best. Whether your chin augmentation should be done with an implant or a sliding genioplasty can be debated.

The photographs demonstrate a weak and recessive chin profile, for which a chin implant can improve. Chin implants can also help stretch the skin forward to help with the jawline slightly. Placement of a chin implant is performed  through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. Chin implants are manufactured in a large  variety of sizes and shapes which is best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. For more information, diagrams, and many examples, please see  the link and the video below

There are MANY options that best to seek only in person opinions. From my perspective I would recommend: Non Surgical: KyBella with Thermi Smooth 250 RF sessions at least 2 KyBella injections sessions and 5 Thermi sessions, Fee $5,000 range. Time to final results 12 o 16 weeks. Minimal Surgical under local anesthesia: SmartLipo + Lipo under chin, Thermi Tight RF invasive with lipo plus Silhouette Instra Lift mid face suspension sutures. Fee $5,000+ range. Fine; result a few weeks. Surgical is can implant vs Fat grafts to chin or long lasting HA fillers to chin, i.e. Juvederm's Voluma, Restylane Lyft. SO BEST TO SEEK ONLY IN PERSON OPINIONS

A chin implant and liposuction of the anterior and lateral neck under your jawline will improve chin projection and jawline definition.

Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years.  From the photos, your chin is weak.  A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.Hope this helps.

A cthin implant with liposuction of the chin fat likely can solve your facial imbalance. This is done in the same operstive session.
