I'm 27, comfortable size 8 and in pretty neat shape. I've always been pretty slim but my side profile is HIDEOS.
I've had intense courses of chemo over the last few years (all clear now thankfully) but the steroids / medication gave me a really puffy face, despite loosing a lot of weight while going through this.
I've had a baby and I'm lucky enough after hard work to be back to my pre pregnancy shape. But I really, really hate my neck. If I took a picture side on, relaxed I look ridiculous. I'm really self conscious by it. I didn't have it before the chemo / cancer treatment and it's never gone away. I've been to see several professionals who have said they won't add any jaw filler as it will make it seem 'bigger'. I'm so sick of it.
I've got a consultation booked with a plastic surgeon next week. I've been searching high and low and put in house of research to find the right person, and it will only be once I've met them I will make a decision. I'm not doing it to be 'vain', or to have a super duper defined jaw. I just want to look normal. Just to have my old neck back that I once had. Weight loss doesn't / won't work. I'm a healthy weight and I think it would just look silly if I lost anymore weight as my neck / chin will be so obvious.
Has anybody had this? The procedure I'm looking into is a 'non invasive neck lift' I don't want a face lift or anything like that. Nothing drastic.
I don't know what else to do, does anybody have any advice? I don't even know if I've put this in the right place but hoping to get some traffic here.
Anybody had this and can tell me what the recovery is like?
Attached a photo of my neck now, it was my daughters first birthday party yesterday and this picture of me giving her cake just made me cry.
