I am a 38 year old female who is very distressed by my poor lower profile. I have the beginnings of jowls, turkey neck, and a double chin. I've always had a slight double chin, even at my thinnest. There's a genetic tendency toward this on my mother's side. The neck tends to look "dropped" after a certain age.I also feel that my cheeks lack volume. I'm currently on treatment 2 of 4 of microneedling to firm my face and neck, but is this enough for now? I am also about 15 lbs overweight with posture issues.

Answer: Do You Need A Neck Lift At 38 It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person to discuss your options. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine what treatments will best rejuvenate your neck. Neck lifts are designed to remove only deep grooves and #wrinkles, not fine ones. Smoothing out every tiny line in your face would leave you with an eerie, unnatural, and undesirable result. The goal should be to make your neck lift look as natural as possible, simply turning back the clock a few years. #Liposuction is often used during the neck lift if necessary.During your initial examination, your chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.
