How can I achieve more neck and jawline definition? What are my options? (photos)

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You would likely benefit from a combination of facial liposuction and chin augmentation to improve the definition of your neck and jawline. Liposuction can effectively remove excess fat from the neck area and below the chin to create a more sculpted appearance.
The jawline can be further defined with the placement of a customized chin implant to provide a favorable, natural-looking contour. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your concerns and suggest the best approach for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Your photos only tell part of the story. You appear to have beautiful and thicker skin combined with some heaviness of the jawline and upper neck soft tissues. Small but safe improvements would be possible with non-surgical treatments. However, liposuction with or without laser or radiofrequency technology may be your best option. During consultation the anatomy can be assessed and a personalized treatment recommended. Improving your chin projection at the time of contouring the neck should also be part of the consultation. Of course, you will need to consider the risks and potential benefits.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

The problem that you are concerned about is related to genetic features and most likely at least one of your parents would be displaying similar features.

There is no skin excess in the neck so there is no need to remove skin in order to achieve contouring.

The volume excess is predominantly situated deep to the platysma muscle is and is not only related to fatty tissue so liposuction will have some effect but probably less then what you wish to achieve.

The anterior necklift can provide volume reduction deep to the platysma muscles in the neck and a combination of conjuring both for the jawline and the neck definition.

It involves a scar under the chin which measures approximately 3 cm. There is usually also a small amount of liposuction carried out along the jowl area and lateral parts of the neck as part of the procedure.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on your photos, I would recommend a necklift to include, fat removal under the chin and below the jawline, tightening/lifting of the playsma muscles in the front of your neck, neck skin tightening, and placement of a chin implant to increase chin projection. This would improve your neckline, jawline, and better balance your chin with your overall face.

Based on these photos, it seems that anterior neck lift would create satisfactrory result; it will addres redundant fat tissue in the anterior and lateral neck with liposuction and direct excision, reshape platysma muscle (platismaplasty) and eliminate jawls. Small chin implant should be considered. This is done in twilight anesthesia and recovery time is very short. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in this procedure (check website), is recommended. Good luck.

You appear to have bulk in the submental area and a vague mandibular line. This will not be accomplished with liposuction over the muscle. Submental contents below the muscle must be addressed, which cannot be done with liposuction alone. In addition, distinct jawline definition can be achieved mainly through deep plane platysmal lift surgery. You might want to consider a chin implant as well.

You have examined yourself well and realized what you need. When we look at your face from the profile, I see that your chin is also small and behind. There is fat accumulated under your chin, if we combine submentoplasty to remove fat in the submental area and chin implant procedures to clarify your chin, the chin implant will make a positive effect on the asymmetry on your face and reveal your jawline. Thus, you will get the look you want. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

The photographs demonstrate a recessive chin profile, and fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward, and a neck lift procedure which removes both compartments of fat in addition to a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Both procedures are done simultaneously under one anesthesia with one recovery period.
