I'm 20, and my face has always looked very flat from the side. My chin sticks out (too much, if you ask me), but I feel like there is very little to no definition between where my neck ends and my face begins. What are my options? Do you suggest I get a procedure done? I really don't want anything super invasive, but if my face looks this bad now at my age I worry what it will look like in 20 years.

Answer: Neck line When we are young, the neckline is most often defined by its anatomical foundation. This is comprised by our voice box and and position of the hyoid bone (from which our larynx is suspended). That can all be improved, however, it often involves radical surgery that yields to diminishing returns. Often times simpler, minimally invasive treatments such as ThermiTight can help melt the subcutaneous fat, tighten the skin and underlying muscle to improve the neck contour. I have found that younger patients do very well and get a drastically improved neckline that continues to improve for a year after a single treatment. Best of luck on your consultations! I hope some of this information can help.

Answer: My neck slopes into my jawline? You could consider chin reduction surgery but I don't feel that your chin projection is excessive. In my opinion you would see the most dramatic results with improvement of the contour of your neckline. To improve the definition of your neckline, consider Kybella. Watch the attached video to see results and for more information. Similar results can be achieved with submental liposuction (but that is, of course, more invasive).Best wishes! Harry V.
