Pouch Under Chin After Weight Loss (Age 47) - Neck Lift, Chin Lipo or Skin Tightening? (photo)

Question

47 y/o. Lost some weight and now have this pouch under my chin. Not sure what would be the best treatment for this. Please advise.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Based on your photo and age, a necklift is far and away the best choice for you. As we age, the skin becomes more lax and it won't contract well with procedures like liposuction or coolsculpting. And skin tightening machines simply don't work for the long term. With a properly performed necklift, you should have a great, long lasting result. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

This photograph is rather limited, but it does appear that You have residual fat deposits in your neck, in addition to inelastic skin in the neck due to the significant weight loss, and your age at 47. To address these issues is going to require a lower face and neck lift, which accomplishes tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial and neck muscles, and remove the residual fat pad. Liposuction alone might remove the fat, but it would make your skin inelasticity worse by deflating the balloon without tightening your skin
