How can I improve a lumpy protruding chin area? (Photo)

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.

Chin soft tissue that can make a chin loose and almost sticking out as a Witch's Chin can be reduced. The approach is an incision under the chin and removing some fat and chin muscle (Mentalis) and a small amount of skin under the chin.

Improving a lumpy, protruding chin area can be approached through both non-surgical and surgical options, depending on the underlying cause and desired outcomes. Here are some options:

Non-Surgical Options:

Dermal Fillers: These can be used to smooth out irregularities and add volume to areas that may have lost fat due to weight loss. Fillers can provide contour and improve the overall appearance of the chin and jawline.

Kybella: This is an injectable treatment that dissolves fat cells. It might be suitable if the protrusion is due to localized fat deposits.

Radiofrequency or Ultrasound Therapy: Treatments such as Ultherapy or Thermage use energy to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin texture and firmness.

Microneedling with PRP: This combination can enhance skin texture and promote collagen production, potentially improving the appearance of lumps and sagging skin.

Surgical Options:

Liposuction: If excess fat is contributing to the lumpy appearance, liposuction can be an effective solution to sculpt the chin and jawline.

Chin Augmentation: For structural enhancement, a chin implant can provide a more balanced profile and address protrusion if it’s due to bone structure.

Facelift or Mini-Facelift: These procedures can address sagging skin and jowls, providing a more defined and youthful appearance.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to evaluate your specific situation. They can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on a thorough assessment of your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
