Great question and thank you for providing photos! I disagree that you are "too young" for a neck lift and feel that younger patients actually do better with isolated neck lifts (without the face portion) than older patients. This would likely be an option and would best address the excess skin...

Thank you for your question. This limited view photo shows a few things that would need to be corrected, but without a full face and lateral view photos it is difficult to recommend a treatment. I see moderate jowling, scalloping of the jaw line posterior to it, a visible submandibular gland in...
