I am 49 years old and normal weight. I have a fat deposit on my chin no matter what weight I am that has been treated with CoolSculpt 3x. Overall I am mistaken for someone in their 30s but my chin is a sore spot, along with some neck skin laxity—when squeezed some wrinkles appear for a moment; along with horizontal neck lines. Recommendations to improve chin and neck?

Answer: Fat deposit on chin and neck laxity. Several options : surgical and non surgical/non invasive treatments Thank you for your question and for providing pictures. There are various procedures available for skin tightening and fat removal in the lower face and neck areas, both surgical and non-surgical. In my professional opinion, I would suggest considering a face and neck surgical lift as the first option. This procedure involves removing excess skin and fat (if necessary) but it is quite invasive and leaves a long scar. However, it is important to note that the lower face (jawline, jowls, marionette lines) and neck areas are among the most difficult to treat and the results may not always meet your expectations. This is because the aging process affects not only these areas, but also the upper and mid-face, including the temporal area, cheek, and mid-face. My approach to addressing these concerns always begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the entire face and neck, in order to identify the specific points of aging and determine which areas require prioritization and treatment in order to restore lost volume and achieve a natural-looking lift. If you are not keen on undergoing this surgery, then the second, less invasive option would be either Face/necktite or Renuvion/J Plasma. This procedure boosts the likelihood of skin tightening, reducing the risk of "saggy" skin. These procedures can be performed with local anesthesia while you are awake. In my clinical practice I usually combine Necktite combined with Morpheus 8, which requires three sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, or Renuvion/J Plasma in a single session. It is important to emphasize that Morpheus 8 is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a qualified physician. This minimally invasive procedure boasts a brief recovery period. After waiting for 3 to 6 months, I would reassess the patient's condition and consider a surgical lift, if deemed necessary and based on the patient's expectations. It is imperative to conduct a comprehensive medical assessment during an in-person consultation to evaluate your skin's quality (including its elasticity, irregularities, and excess skin) and identify areas of localized fat that require treatment to create a personalized treatment plan.

Answer: Neck Sagging/Fat - VASERlipo, FaceTite/AccuTite, Morpheus8/Fractora, Neck Lift/Platysmaplasty; Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy "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.
