I am a 35-year old female and I recently lost 73 pounds. I'd like many things fixed :)...but the one that bothers me the most is my chin. I had a double chin when I was heavy, but now it's just loose empty skin that hangs there. What plastic surgery procedure(s) would I need to get done to get rid of it? I've lost 73 pounds but still feel fat because of my hanging neck. :( Thank you!
Answer: Neck lift with platysmaplasty Neck lift with platysmaplasty would be the best option. Neck lift to tighten the skin of the neck. Platysmaplasty to address the banding in the midline.

Answer: Neck lift for a turkey neck Congratulations on the weight loss! I regularly perform neck lifts, and when I examine patients seeking this procedure, it’s not uncommon for them to be happy about weight loss, but frustrated by loose skin. This is because skin is like the knees of leggings (for example), and when excess fat stretches out the skin over time, no amount of weight loss can make it retract. That’s when plastic surgery comes into the picture! By firmly resuspending the underlying layers and then redraping the skin, a clean, sharp and attractive jawline can be created. I hide my incisions behind the ear and in the hairline, allowing patients to wear their hair up, or back, without showing telltale signs of surgery. I often incorporate platysmaplasties with my neck lifts, which addresses the two vertical cords that can protrude and/or sag, obscuring the jawline. I find that a beautifully performed neck lift and platysmaplasty can create the most elegant neck, and it’s a true pleasure to see patients who were previously stuck wearing turtlenecks and scarves feeling unencumbered and happy!

Answer: Neck post weight loss Congratulations on your amazing transformation. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon in your area for assessment. It is likely that muscle tightening and skin excess removal are in your future, but there are many options for aesthetic improvement to the submental area. Options include lipo, face/neck lift, RF Microneedling with laser work. Good luck to you on your neck aesthetic journey!

Answer: Sagging Neck After Losing Weight can be fixed with various options Congratulations on the weight loss! The neck can have horizontal wrinkles and wrinkly skin especially after losing weight. Genetics as well as from sun damage and aging can also play a key role and can explain why some people have a worse flabby neck appearance than others who might've also lost the same amount of weight. This area can be very bothersome to patients.

Answer: Necklift After Weight Loss Thank you for your question and pictures. Congratulation with your weight loss. You have lost elasticity under your neck, meaning you have loss skin. This can be removed by a necklift which tightens the skin under the chin giving a more youthful appearance. This can be achieved under local anaesthetic, which means the downtime associated it a lot less. At your age you do not want to be bruised for 4-6 weeks. The incision are just in front and behind the earlobe, running just on the edge of the hairline. It doesn't go into the hairline as this can cause hair loss. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve. All The Best
