What is Wrong with my Neck? I Dislike My Profile. (photo)

From your photos, it looks like you have a small amount of fat of your neck that can be removed with liposuction. More importantly, your chin is small and this is making your neck look the way it does. I would recommend placement of a small chin implant which will balance out the lower third of your face and make a more pleasing neck angle. I routinely perform these surgeries and would be happy to see you in my office for a free consultation. call 212-289-1851 to schedule your consultation.

There are two issues with your neck.  What you are noticing is your cervicomental angle, the angle betweenyour neck and chin.  the quick answer that you SHOULD NOT go for is a chin implant.  Redraping your neck skin with minimal liposuction and skin tightening( I prefer Skintyte II an infrared based skin contraction device) with or without a genioplasty.  A genioplasty is a surgical repositioning of the projection of your chin.  Fewer surgeons offer this because it requires more advanced training and technical skill, but it provides results that an implant can never achieve.  Implants cannot change the vertical position of your chin and always erode both bone and soft tissue and carry lifelong risks of infection, extrusion and nerve compression.  Chin implants are a very bead idea for patients of your age.  An oblique sliding geneoplasty could balance the horizontal and vertical dimensions of your face and also dramatically improve the appearance of your cervicomental angle giving you a more defined appearance and a prettier neck.  I hope this helps!

 

All the best,
