Though it's very not noticeable from most angles, it's still disconcerting to say the least! When I turn my head to the side is when it's most noticeable. I'm wondering if I'd be a good candidate for cosmetic surgery of some kind, and if so, which treatments? Obviously I am interested in less invasive procedures. I've attached some pictures taken from below. Thanks so much!

Answer: Options with Sagging Neck/Chin Dear lisa.fremont,There are always options to any cosmetic concern. The sagging you experience under the neck can be resolved through a Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift. This procedure that I created and refined utilizes a laser to treat the three areas that compose your neck: skin, muscle and fat. As you will see from the attached video, I point out that if a procedure does not address skin, muscle and fat then the procedure is destined to fail. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your conerns. Sincerely Yours,Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS

Answer: Double Chin Treatment / Laxity-- SmartLipo/VASER/ThermiRF, Botox, Venus Legacy/Thermage, Kybella I treat this everyday in my practice. You may be a surgical candidate but you do not need surgery for improvement. Properly performed liposuction with energy based devices and physical fat removal will do fantastic to remove the fat, lift the skin, and contour the jawline. I pretreat everyone with Botox 1-2 weeks before surgery to relax the neck muscles, allowing for better retraction of the skin after surgery. Then after treatment we do skin tightening with Venus Legacy/Thermage to improve the results and decrease the neck swelling. I suggest you only see an expert for treatment of this area as a meticulous surgeon is required to get great results and complications in this area can be devastating both medically and cosmetically. A new medication that is used to remove chin fat with injections called Kybella may also be an option, as it secondarily allows for skin tightening/lifting as well. A formal consultation is needed to determine what are the best options for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
