21F & my jawline is soft, am I too young for a neck lift? (Photo)

Question

My jawline is soft, but I have been told it is not fat related just loose skin. I am 21 F, so I wonder if I am too young for a neck lift or if it will even solve my problem. I dont want to do filler as I have heard of the negative side effects associated.

your jawline looks fine. there is nothing that you need to do; this is normal and very much as tight as it can be from a surgical perspective; anything more would involve putting the skin on tension and will result in large incisions. If you are worried about skin stuff you should look into skin tightening procedures like morpheus

Richard Zienowicz, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. I would have another consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon - a physical examination would reveal whether you would benefit from a chin augmentation or a maxillofacial procedure to increase projection and balance in the jawline. Liposuction with a skin-tightening treatment may also help address your concerns. Based on your age and photos it is doubtful that a neck lift is the procedure that is the best fit for you. Best of luck to you.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend treatments with dermal filler to aid in adding projection the jawline, chin, and overall facial balancing. Dermal fillers used for jawline augmentation are generally safe when administered by qualified professionals in a sterile environment. Hyaluronic acid fillers, in particular, can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary, providing an added layer of safety. Overall, filler offers a safe and effective option for patients looking to enhance their facial contours without the risks and recovery associated with surgery. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Lipo would trim up the soft jawline beautifully and should always be done with facetite and morpheus for tightening the skin under local.  Cost is roughly $4750 on special and so worth it with only 1 day downtime.

From the photo, you would do very well with neck liposuction + Renuvion to creat definition and then add a small chin implant. The procedure takes 1 hour and recovery is 5 days.
