I'm 25 years old and have always had a weak profile. I had assumed a chin implant/ neck lipo would do the trick, but after meeting w/ a surgeon, I now realize that my chin is only slightly recessed and that there's really not fat in my neckline -it's mostly muscle. The surgeon ruled out a neck lift because my age, but admitted that a chin implant wouldn't create dramatic results for my profile. Do I really have to wait until I'm 40 to do something about my neckline?

Answer: Can I have a neck lift at 25 years old? Without physical exam, it is impossible to make a diagnosis, and thus not wise to offer advice. What you mean by a "weak" profile is unclear. Muscle is not likely involved at age 25, unless your digastrics are hypertrophic (overdeveloped). If so, and they bother you, young age isn't a contraindication to fix the problem. In my experience, open neck plasty with clearing sub and supra-platysmal fat can make a remarkable difference for young patients with a full neck and obtuse cervico-mental angle, trimming the neck significantly. The younger and sooner you have the procedure done, the longer you benefit from the result, and thus, the more valuable the procedure. Your surgeon should desire for you the greatest value.
