One doctor suggested me laser lipolysis .but another doctor said that laser lipolysis can cause cavities on the skin.he suggested platysmaplasty and liposuction together which left 3 or 4 cm scar under my chin.he also said that my problem is not only fat but my skin is hanging at this area.what is the difference between neck lift and platysmaplasty?can scar might be hidden behind my ear?or may i have only liposuction?what is the difference between liposuction and laser lipolysis?
Answer: Double Chin Worries Thanks for the pictures but a better pictures with your chin parallel with the ground would give a better sense of your issues. If loose skin is your issue then this is best addressed with necklift/facelift. If you have only excess fat then liposuction or laser liposuction (laser destroys the fat) would be beneficial.

Answer: Evaluation of a patient for potential liposuction of the chin and neck requires neutral posture. In the photograph you are actively flexing your neck which can create contour irregularities unrelated to aging or surplus fat in the chin and neck. Post a photograph with the neck in neutral particularly the lateral view.

Answer: I have double chin and I hate it. I'm 35 years old and I'm very thin. I visited several doctors. Any suggestion? Hi. First, your photos are taken from below and you are forcing your neck down whihc does not accurately reflect what your neck would look like under normal circumstances. This position and views accentuate the double chin look. IMHO you ae young enough to have lipo of the neck/chin and have very nice result. Good luck, Dr. PG

Answer: Neck lift with platysma plasty The photographs demonstrate fatty deposits in the neck, and a weak chin profile. In our practice, a neck lift involves removal of fatty deposits above and below the platysma muscle in the neck and tightening the platysma muscle in the front to get a new jawline. We do not remove any skin with a neck lift procedure in our practice. A chin implant would also help with facial balance and proportions and would be complimentary to the neck lift.

Answer: Making the correct assessment Most young people who have an ill-defined jawline have so because of facial skeletal disproportion. The jaw or the mandible is often small in relation to the maxilla or the mid-face. While your chin has significant projection, my guess is the overall size of your mandible is small in relation to your maxilla. Many patients do much better with a chin implant rather than with liposuction, though often the combination of the two gives the best results. In addition to tightening the platysma muscles, this can give great results. Please see the link included below and look at the patient in the upper left corner. She had the three above procedures. In your case, you appear to have a substantial amount of chin projection or a pointed chin. It's possible to have a relatively small mandible and still have chin projection. When that is the case, adding a chin implant can give a look known as witch's chin. This is quite an undesirable look. Based on your pictures, I would not recommend placing a chin implant. Liposuction and a platysmaplasty will most likely be your best choices. To make an accurate assessment, you need an in-person consultation. I suggest you seek out the expertise of a highly reputable, senior plastic surgeon who specializes in facial contours. Sometimes oral surgeons or plastic surgeons with specialty training in orofacial maxillary surgery can be particularly helpful. Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
