In general, undergoing a tummy tuck does not cause the thighs to become larger. A tummy tuck is often performed along with 360-degree liposuction of the abdomen, which removes excess skin and reduces fat volume. This can make the waist and abdominal area appear smaller and more contoured. As a result, the thighs may appear relatively larger in comparison, even though their actual size has not changed. Unless you gain a significant amount of weight after surgery, a tummy tuck itself will not make your thighs bigger—it's just a matter of visual balance.

Genioplasty involves reshaping the chin bone—either to make it slimmer, longer, or more projected forward. This can be done through sliding genioplasty (where the bone is cut and repositioned) or shaving-type contouring.

In terms of recovery, square jaw (mandibular angle) surgery typically involves the masseter muscle and affects chewing function more directly, so jaw movement, chewing, and speaking can be more restricted during the healing period.

However, if you're only undergoing genioplasty (especially without jaw angle reduction), speaking and eating are generally easier during recovery.

That said, swelling and bruising around the lower face and chin are expected, and it will take some time for these to gradually improve.

Stitches inside the mouth are usually removed about two weeks after surgery.
For a safer and more comfortable recovery, we recommend eating soft, easily digestible foods for at least one week after the procedure.

Currently, your eyebrows are positioned quite low, resulting in a narrow gap between the eyes and eyebrows. This causes the eyelids to appear heavily hooded and gives a somewhat bulging impression.

A forehead lift (brow lift) raises the eyebrows, which helps to improve the heavy or tired appearance of the eyes, creating a more natural and refreshed look.

Additionally, your forehead appears relatively wide, so I recommend combining the forehead lift with a forehead reduction surgery.

This procedure involves making an incision along the hairline to lower the height of the forehead while simultaneously lifting the eyebrows.

I suggest considering both the forehead lift and forehead reduction together for the best results.

Currently, there is a noticeable tear trough under your eyes, with protruding fat above it. This unevenness creates a shadow effect, which makes the dark circles appear more prominent and gives the under-eye area a tired and aged appearance.

In the photos, there does not appear to be significant skin sagging or deep wrinkles under the eyes.
In such cases, surgery can be performed through the conjunctiva (the inner side of the lower eyelid) without any external incision.
During the procedure, the tear trough is released, and the protruding fat is repositioned and spread evenly to smooth out the contour.

Since there is no visible skin laxity, a traditional lower blepharoplasty is not necessary. Instead, conjunctival under-eye fat repositioning is recommended for a smoother and brighter under-eye appearance.

Based on your photos, it appears that you do not have a large amount of fat overall.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets subcutaneous fat — the fat beneath the skin — and is especially effective for removing stubborn fat in areas like the lower abdomen that are difficult to lose through diet or exercise.

A tummy tuck involves surgically removing excess skin. However, from both your front and side views, there doesn’t appear to be any noticeable loose or sagging skin.

At this point, skin excision does not seem necessary, and liposuction alone may help achieve a more contoured appearance for your abdomen.
