What do I need to improve the saggy skin under my chin? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I had liposuction on my lower face and under a portion of my chin back in 2016 and it has caused me to have saggy skin. Unsure if there is a combo of fat and excess skin under my chin, or just excess skin. I don’t think he did full lipo on the chin but don’t recall. I feel like I need a mini or even a full facelift and a chin implant, I also have notches in the jowl area. Someone told me I have a weak chin, so maybe the chin implant is a definite must. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

In person  exam is essential. Based on limited photos- it appears that you may benefit from facelift/ neck lift with muscle tightening. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

It looks like to are an excellent candidate for a chin implant.  The chin implant is placed intra-orally through an intra-oral approach so there is no visible scar.  This will elongate your chin and tighten some of the loose skin.

Best Wishes,

It’s hard to tell from your photos how much laxity you have in your neck. If there is significant laxity a facelift may be worthwhile even though you are in the younger side

Based on these photos it is very likely that you will have the benefit of several procedures performed at the same time; neck liposuction, skin tightening (Renuvion, Face Tite), and possibly chin augmentation. In-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in those procedures is recommended. Good luck.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

When they're sagging skin in the neck, a lower face and neck lift is required to  tighten loose facial and neck skin, and tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove residual fat deposit in your neck. The limited photographs demonstrate a recessive chin profile, so consider placement of a chin implant to give ypou better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck.
