Hi! I weigh 49 kg and height is 158 cm so i am a little skinny. But my jawline is not defined and i am not sure if it is due to fat deposits or just my facial structure. Does this qualify for a lipo? And is it safe for my BMI? Thank you.
Answer: A less invasive option to liposuction could be morpheus8 to help further slim and define the face Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Chin Liposuction and Thermitight Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia. Click on the video link below Regards Dr. J

Answer: Chin liposuction Dear milku12, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would be a good candidate for chin liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Skinny patient getting a Liposuction The fact that you have a low BMI should indicate that fat is not a problem for how you look. The lower 1/3 of your face looks the way it does because of bone structure. Your mandible is somewhat small and lacks projection compared to your maxilla. This causes the underlying platysma muscle to drape the neck in a more oblique fashion. You are a far better candidate for addressing the primary problem which is facial skeletal structure than manipulating soft tissues. Liposuction will have very little impact because there isn’t much fat to remove. Liposuction also doesn’t address the primary problem. Schedule consultations for local board-certified plastic surgeons or oral surgeons in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
