I have some sagging skin, and no definition from chin and neck. What could be done?
Answer: Neck Lifts Fix Turkey Necks The delicate skin on the neck is one of the first places where aging shows up. How much skin sagging and fat deposits you get in this area is partly determined by your genetics. Also, weight gain can permanently stretch the skin and, if followed by weight loss, may result in sags in the chin and neck. A neck lift is less invasive than a facelift, and is the only other surgical procedure that can dramatically reverse turkey neck. (See my Before and After Photos below) The incisions are smaller and the recovery time less. Plus, the rest of the face is untouched. After surgery, you would be given recommendations to improve skin tone to keep the good results as long as possible. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon will give you the answers you need to rectify this area of concern for you.

Answer: Turtle Neck - How To Fix? In my own practice, I have seen a large increase in patients with your configuration wanting neck lifts after having tried other options. The reason is structural. If you look closely at your photos, you will see that your chin is weak, and does not line up well with your nose and upper lip. There is also excess skin of your neck that some call "turkey neck." In my opinion, your best result would come from a neck lift and possible chin implant to give you the definition you desire. I suggest you find a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation to discuss this option. (Many will do over-the-phone consultaitons.) The choice is always yours in terms of which option to take; however, it might save you time and money to circumvent the treatments that don't give you a "wow" result.
