Dr who did the SmartLipo 8 mos ago recommended Tempsure Envi. I did Tempsure 30 days ago w/ no improvement. 2nd opinion Dr suggested Morpheus 8. I don't want to spend thousands more on minimally invasive treatments. I want this fixed! I realize the necklace lines are just who I am but I feel they are greatly emphasized by what is either remaining fat or skin sagging. I also have these "jowls" that make me look like I'm older/heavier/mad. I want a defined neckline. Would real surgery help me?

Answer: Lower face and Neck Lift Thank you for your pictures. For the pictures you send, seems to me that you need the lower face and also a chin implant to help to support your lower face. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon for advise

Answer: Dr. said I'm too young for a neck lift at 42 but I hate the way my neck looks, even after I had SmartLipo 8 months ago Thank you for your pictures and questions. I think that you are young and would probably be a good candidate for a minimally invasive procedure such as FaceTite/Morpheus8/MyEllevate......but that being said, it sounds like you are over less invasive options, so I think if you are ready for a necklift procedure, then you should consider seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss one. I would also strongly encourage considering a chin implant with either a surgical or minimally invasive option. Hope this helps!

Answer: Improved Neck Contour Your photos shows a small (recessive) chin, which blends into your neck, with the neck angle blunted by fat and probably a low hyoid bone. The lower jowl bulges in your lower cheeks crossing the jawline camouflage a defined jawline. I think a lower cheek and necklift would allow surgical removal of fat in the neck and lower jowls, along with tightening of neck muscles. I would also recommend a chin implant to add better balance to the lower face. Possibly some microfat grafting to your horizontal lines. All of this would create a more defined jawline, a sharper neck angle, and a more pleasing, youthful look.
