While many people focus on facial wrinkles and eye aging, the chin and neck area are often where the earliest and most dramatic signs of aging appear. Aging of the neck and chin can impact the overall harmony of your facial profile, leading to concerns such as sagging skin, volume loss, and reduced jawline definition.
At her oculoplastic practice in Irvine, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb helps patients across Orange County and Los Angeles address these concerns and restore a smoother, more youthful lower face and neck contour.
I was referred to Dr. Erb through my sister that had her upper Eye lid surgery and some laser work done.. She looks amazing. So I researched Dr. Erb and found out she is double certified which impressed me. When you have someone perform surgery on your eyes it is important that you know the quality of work they do. You get what you pay for., I had a friend get her eyes done in Mexico because of the price. OMG she couldn’t close her eyelids at all. So when I found Dr. Erb I felt so blessed and she did a wonderful job on my eyes. I also had filler done; on my lips. (I did not want BIG lips), also the marionette lines around my mouth, and my ear lopes. all the areas look amazing. I am 68 years old in November and because of Dr. Erb I think I look at least 20 years younger.
Common Chin & Neck Concerns
Many of Dr. Erb’s patients seek treatment for:
What Causes Aging of the Chin & Neck?
Several factors contribute to lower face and neck aging:
Loss of Skin Elasticity
Collagen breakdown leads to sagging and wrinkles.
Fat Accumulation
Excess fat beneath the chin contributes to a double chin appearance.
Volume Loss
Bone and soft tissue loss in the chin and jawline reduces structural definition.
Sun Damage
UV exposure accelerates skin aging in the neck area.
Genetics & Lifestyle
Some people are naturally predisposed to fat accumulation or sagging in this area.
A study published in Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America reports that lower face aging accounts for up to 30% of a person’s perceived facial age.
