Post Neck Liposuction, Want a Stronger Jawline? (photo)

I had neck/chin liposuction a couple of years ago and very happy with results. However, now that the neck fat is reduced (I also lost weight), I am noticing how weak the sides of my jawline are, my cheecks tend to blend into my neck. I don't think I need a chin implant and don't want to lose any more weight. What are my options for a stronger jaw? thanks

Chin Augmentation for a Stronger Jawline

If you have already had a neck liposuction and are seeking a stronger jawline, a chin implant would probably be your best option. A neck lift may also be helpful to some extent. The other alternative would be to cut and advance the jaw bone (sliding mandibular osteotomy) - a significantly larger procedure. If you would like a moderately stonger jaw line, another option would be to use an injectable filler such as Radiesse or Sculptra. But the results will be... more
