I'm considering neck liposuction, but I'm not sure if it would give me the jawline I'm looking for. I also have a horrible fat padding next to my cheeks when I smile, and I don't know how to address that. Do I also need a chin implant? My BMI is 20.3 and I'm 23 years old. I have a consultation scheduled, but I'm curious what others have to say in the meantime.
Answer: I have a chin that goes straight into my neck with no jaw definition. What procedure would help me with my turtle-neck? (Photo) Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from a chin liposuction, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Chin Liposuction: Surgery Options --- Thuy-Van Tina Ho, MD Dear cloverleaf07,Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations based on photographs alone and without an exam. I recommend you seek in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who can perform a thorough evaluation and discuss with you surgical treatment options to address your goals. For facial and jawline contouring, you may be a candidate for some or all of the following surgical procedures: buccal fat removal, chin implant, and chin liposuction versus deep plane mini necklift. You could also achieve some of your goals with non-surgical treatments such as Kybella. Botox to the masseters, and filler injection. Best,Thuy-Van Tina Ho, MDFacial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: I have a chin that goes straight into my neck with no jaw definition From the 1 very limited photograph, it appears that there is a recessive chin profile and fat deposits in the neck located above AND below the platysma muscle. Consider placement of a chin implant and a neck lift procedure. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of fat deposits above the muscle, while surgical extraction of the fat deposits is required below the platysma muscle which also includes a platysma -plasty. No skin removal is required. A chin implant can be inserted through the very same incision under the chin.

Answer: Chin and neck contour You have a lower jaw which is underdeveloped; so 'just' liposuction may be disappointing in its effect. You can have a more complete assessment, of course, but a chin surgery to 'extend' the distance from the neck to the chin point is needed to 'flatten' that area alongside the liposuction.
