Facial/Neck LipoSculpture
Facial liposculpture is an excellent method for getting rid of that nagging sag under your chin. Performed in the offices of Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, the board-certified dermatologists give you a customized, contoured look that tightens your skin without invasive surgery.
A surgical procedure eliminates the excess skin and tissues contributing to the sagging, and tightens the remaining tissue and skin, leaving you with a taut, younger-looking jawline, chin and neck. The right treatment option for you will depend on your preferences.
Inadequate Vitamin D in the skin causes it to become thin, saggy, wrinkled, and weak. Your skin is your largest organ, so making sure it's strong and healthy is incredibly important in preventing premature aging.
First and foremost, why is your chin sagging all of a sudden? Well, according to Face Gym trainer, Madalaina Conti, this can be chalked up to something as simple as normal aging, to tension in the face from grinding one's teeth, as well as more unexpected causes like misalignment and bad posture.
The skin can start to lose its elasticity as the body ages, which can lead to the appearance of extra or saggy skin that may contribute to a double chin. While weight gain is not always the cause of a double chin, it can contribute to it.
"Turkey neck, sometimes called turkey gobble neck, is basically loose neck skin and muscles," says Dr. Larry Pollack, a board-certified plastic surgeon affiliated with Sharp Memorial Hospital. "It can be hereditary, but is most often due to aging, UV damage or weight loss."
Factors like genetics, sun exposure and the quality of one's skin care routine can cause signs of aging to appear at different times for different patients. However, the majority of people notice that signs of aging like sagging and neck bands appear between the ages of 40 and 60.
Retinol is a type of vitamin A that can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help to tighten the skin under your chin, giving you a more youthful appearance. Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin around your chin and jawline.
A traditional neck lift is a surgical procedure that lifts the tissue around the neck. This one-time procedure produces long-lasting results that can dramatically enhance the tone and texture of the skin beneath your jawline. Many patients choose to combine a facelift and neck lift to address sagging in both areas.
In addition to fat-freezing, fillers and ultrasound procedures, many other types of treatment exist to target sagging skin and jowls, including laser treatments, thread-lifting and non-surgical peels.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect against oxidative damage and plays a role in the production of collagen, which helps keep skin firm and elastic. Particularly in topical applications, Vitamin C has been shown to decrease skin wrinkling and increase collagen production.
Laser resurfacing This is the most effective procedure for tightening loose skin. Unlike the laser treatment described above, this procedure requires some downtime. You'll need to stay home for 5 to 7 days. Laser resurfacing also gives you the fastest results.
Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for many decades, and ultrasound skin tightening has an excellent safety profile. It is effective for older patients looking for a mini facelift without surgery and for younger patients who want to maintain their skin profile and prevent skin laxity as they age.
There are many ways to correct a receding chin. The most common treatment options include chin implant, sliding genioplasty and jaw surgery. Dermal fillers may also help but are temporary.
The time it takes to see changes varies from person to person. As a general rule, you will start to see long term improvements in the face and neck after two weeks. After 2-4 months, you will notice fewer fine lines and a healthier look.
Lion's roar: The lion's roar exercise helps you tone your chin and should be performed 10 to 20 times a day. Begin by opening your mouth wide and sticking your tongue out as far as you can. You'll need to hold this position for 10 seconds. Return to your normal position and restart.
