Tags: cheeks, jaw, definition, enhancement, weak

My problem’s that my lower jaws’re weak, so my neck looks fleshy and my face undefined. My cheeks and chin don’t have a lot of volumen and the nasolabial area is sunken so I have I have a dark shadow above my lips. I’d like to know what the best option is. I was considering fat injections but I’d like to ask if it’s the best option. Is there a possibility the fat can become enormous if I gain weight or it can fade if I lose it? Are there other better options? Thanks

Cheek Implants, Cheek Filler, Jaw Fillers

Facial Enhancement

A wide variety of facial implants are currently available for the enhancement of the skeletal elements of facial aesthetics.

Facial implants very widely not only in shape and style, but also in terms of the materials from which they are fabricated.

Facial Enhancement

Fat liposculpture or implants are your two best choices to improve contour and add volume to your face. Consider a combination of these techniques. If you do have fat grafting, a procedure I've advocated for twenty- five years, find a surgeon in your community with experience in this technique.

Option to Enhance Cheeks & Jawline

Hi Marissa Elouard in Mexico, Undefined or poorly defined jawline is one sign of aging, but also may run in families with bone structure. Based on the limited photographs provided, your skin appears young and plastic surgery generally is avoided, such as facelift or cheek lift. Sometimes neck liposuction alone may help define the jawline and chin more. Silicone chin or jaw implants may help enhance the lower face. Lastly, fat injection is a natural option to enhance the cheeks,... more

Hi Marissa!  Great question!  Fat transfer is a great way to add volume to your face, including the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, lower eyelid areas and along the jaw line.  Results usually last several years, and we use your own fat, which is not rejected or foreign.  Cheek and chin implants are also a good choice, especially if you are very thin and don't have much fat anywhere else on your body.  Silicone implants are my preference, are easily placed... more
