I am looking to create a v-shaped, slim jawline and the surgeons I've consulted have recommended a combination of one or more of the following procedures: Vaser Lipo, Fat Grafting to chin, Threadlift and Buccal Fat removal. Are these the best possible solutions to achieving a more svelte chin and jawline? I am 30 years old with a slim athletic body type for context.

Answer: Understanding facial aesthetics The individual look of each of our faces especially in young people is based on the shape, structure and sense of balance of the facial skeleton. You don’t have an abnormal fat distribution or soft tissue coverage of your face. Your look is that of your skull with normal soft tissue coverage. Be careful with excessive soft tissue manipulation to try to create a look that’s not you. In my opinion you have an attractive face and should consider no intervention. Liposuction it should be done gently and conservatively on the face. I see no need to add VASER because it can potentially be too aggressive. If the provider knows what they’re doing then you should be fine. If not then the use of VASER is not a good idea in the face. As people age they lose facial volume and having buccal fat removal put you at risk for premature aging later in life. I don’t think fat transfer works particularly well in the chin area. Nothing compared to a conservative chin implant. Fillers work pretty well in this area. Much better than fat transfer but not quite as well as implants. My recommendation would be to do one procedure at a time and don’t ask for big changes. What’s wrong with how you look now? I realize I’m not speaking as a normal plastic surgeon when I say this but it is a very real question you should ask and I ask myself before doing any surgical procedure. Botox in the masseter may give you some of the look you’re looking for though it is relatively subtle. It is very nicely reversible if you don’t like the outcome as are fillers. You’re cute as a button. Consider leaving that alone Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
