Hi! I have a weak chin with a lessthan ideal neck structure. What do you think is best for me? I am in my late 20s, low BMI so not sure how much fat could truly be removed, and want to balance the invasiveness vs reward of what I could actually achieve in this surgery. Do you think a single incision neck lift would yield enough of a result to be worth it rather than just a chin augmentation with possible fat reduction if there is any to remove? Thanks!

Answer: Chin Augmentation Hello, hope you are well. There is no question that you would benefit from chin augmentation with an implant. My preference is to place implants transorally so that there is no scar underneath the chin (i.e. having a scar is not a foregone conclusion). Instead of a deep neck lift, you might be better off with NeckTite--I think this would be a better balance of invasiveness and reward, as you put it. These are low-risk procedures that can be done under local anesthesia in the office and have a relatively quick recovery period. Cheers, Dr. Tower

Answer: Chin augmentation and anterior neck lift Based on your underlying neck anatomy, chin augmentation with implant should be combined with anterior neck lift to rearrange anterior neck muscles and create sharper jaw/neck angle. Good luck.
