I am a 26 year old female and have always had a very stubborn double chin and a weak jawline. I am 5'7 125 pounds and am very happy with my body, but my double chin, jowls, and all in all weak jawline are killing me! My chin is also slightly weak, whenever I take a photo from the side I don't know how comfortable I feel about having an implant placed on my face so I have been looking into sliding genioplasty, and also smart lipo for the chin and neck! My concerns are nerve damage, and lumpiness!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure. It's best to seek a follow up visit with your surgeon to discuss what you are experiencing and to ensure you are healing properly. Good luck and congratulations, again!
Hi! It can take up to six months to see the final result. If you have gained weight since your procedure the results will be alterted and you will still have fullness in the area. I would suggest you talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Best of luck to you!
