Loose skin under the chin can develop over time due to changes in skin elasticity, collagen levels, and underlying tissue support. Factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and weight fluctuations may also contribute to visible changes in this area. These changes may lead individuals to explore options that support the appearance of firmer skin along the chin and jawline.

Surgical Procedures for treating loose jawline skin
At Absolute Cosmetic, surgical options may be discussed with individuals seeking to address changes in skin firmness along the jawline and under the chin. One option that may be considered is facelift surgery. This procedure is performed by an Doctor and is designed to reposition underlying tissue and remove excess skin in the lower face and neck region. It may be appropriate for those with more significant changes to skin structure in this area.
Non-Surgical Procedures for loose jawline skin
For individuals who are not considering surgery, there are non-surgical options that may be discussed during consultation. These include treatments that aim to support skin firmness by stimulating collagen production or providing structural support beneath the skin.
Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling is one such option, combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of the skin. This treatment is designed to promote collagen and may assist with skin firmness over time. Another option that may be considered is thread lifting, a minimally invasive procedure using dissolvable threads placed under the skin to help support tissue in specific areas.
The choice of treatment depends on various factors, including the degree of skin laxity, skin quality, and overall treatment goals. These options are always tailored to the individual, and a consultation is essential to assess suitability.
