Jaw Line and Chin Issues Sagging along the jaw line One of the most common questions that I get from patients is how to fix the sagging skin along the jaw line that results in the appearance of a loose double chin or "turkey neck". The effects of sun damage, age, and gravity all work to put some excess skin along the chin and jaw line. It is much easier to prevent and to correct mild sagging than it is to deal with a lot of sagging, getting rid of a double chin or getting rid of a turkey neck in your late 50s or 60s. To predict whether you will have this problem, look at the women in your family, like your mother and grandmother. Genes often times have a big effect in how your face ages, particularly along the jaw line. There are a few jaw augmentation options available for getting rid of double chin or getting rid of turkey neck. The best non-surgical option for sagging chin or sagging neck skin is HIFU. A full-face HIFU costs $28,000 to $38,000, and the HIFU treatments will produce gradual tightening over about 6 months. HIFU treatments produce noticeable but not dramatic results. It is not like a surgical facelift, but it does help in reducing double chin. Another difference between HIFU and a surgical facelift is that a second HIFU skin tightening can be done 1-2 months later. Plan on needing 3 if you are over 50 or have moderate sagging. Remember skin tightening HIFU is for mild to moderate sagging. However, if you have a lot of sagging, a (Ultra-V-lift) is a better solution.
