I am a 24 year old male. 5'9" and 138 pounds. I'm really skinny, but my jawline is not defined at all and I have a small double chin as well. It's really bothering me. I'd like to have a defined and chiseled jawline I usually hold my head a little pushed forward to hide it but I'm assuming that's not so good for my neck either. I tried doing different kinds of neck- and jaw exercises but they didn't work. Can a chin liposuction be the solution?

Lip or implant?

Basically, any technique used for submental liposuction would give you a good result. Because you are young your skin would tie in automatically, and any other laser procedure that claims skin contraction is unnecessary. I do agree with other doctors in that you do have a weak chin. A small implant place at the same time as it liposuction would give you even a better result.

Chin Augmentation with Laser Lipo of the double chin will work

Your chin is weak and there is a deposit of fat under your chin. Using Laser Lipo will tighten the skin as well as remove the extra fat deposit. Using a small chin implant will give your face the correct balance and your profile will be stronger.

Ill defined jaw line

Hi Aaron. Thanks for sharing your photos with us. It is unlikely that you have enough fat in your neck to warrant a liposuction. Your profile view reveals a small chin. An appropriate chin implant will give you more projection of the region with the added benefit of reducing the sagging skin causing the appearance of a double chin. Good luck.

Have to agree that chin liposuction will not accomplish what you need.

Aaron EIther a chin implant or alternatively augmentation with a sufficient volume of hyaluronic acid filler Perlane will help improve the chin profile and provide better balance for your face.

Chin implant and liposuction of the neck work very well together.

Hi. Just going by your pictures, you should have a lot of improvement with an extended anatomical chin implant (put in through a small incision under the chin) together with liposuction of your neck. It's a short safe operation with a quick recovery. see video
