Opinion On How I Can Enhane My Profile? I Have A Thin Jaw and Chin. how to enhance my profile? i have long fave and very thin jaw. i would want a fuller face. thank you

A: Face Enhancement

You could benefit from facial implants to balance your face out. You do have a very thin jaw and I feel with some kind of jaw augmentation would help you feel more confident with the way you look.

What Are The Options To Fix my Sagging Double Chin? (photo) Please see attached photo. I am 24. I started noticing in photos I have a sagging chin where I look like I have a double chin. I am fairly in shape. I run all the time. How do I get rid of this? Find 1 picture without my shirt as of 10-9-11. Another photo from 2 years ago where I am in blue shirt Summer of 2009. Is it stress from working? Will working out fix this? I did gain wait in 2009. I got down to 190 from 230. I now am back at 220 in 2011 but its mostly muscle.

A: Chin / Neck

Hi J,

There are a few procedures you could do if you wanted to correct this problem. One would be some kind of light lipo in the neck area. I don't believe a full neck lift would be appropriate at your stage of life, though. If you wanted to enhance your chin or jaw this would also help correct your double chin appearance. This would be done by using artificial implants.

Sliding Genioplasty - Full Reversal? I had this done 3 months ago and I am not liking the results as my lower face looks fatter and my smile has changed for the worse plus my chin bulges out of my face and the right side of my chin has a notch. Also my face looks longer which I hate. My surgeon wants me to wait at the 5 month mark rather than make a hasty decision to reverse it. My question is will I look exactly the same prior to getting this surgery done if I get a reversal? What are the side effects? Best time to reverse it?

A: Reversing sliding genioplasty

A sliding genioplasty can be reversed though it is not something to be taken lightly. You're still fairly early from your surgery and very likely some of what you're seeing is residual swelling in the area. I would give it time and let the area heal fully before discussing additional surgery to reverse the advancement. You would not want to undergo an additional procedure unnecessarily.
