53, Male. Chin implant and jawline liposuction - will it provide a crisp jawline? (Photos)

Question

I am looking to create a more defined jawline and improve facial balance. I am uncertain if the combination of a chin implant and jawline liposuction will yield the "crisp" results I am looking for at age 53. Also not sure if I need a chin implant. My hope is to use this approach as a bridge for the next five years befoe committing to a deep plane facelift.

Based on your photos and goals, I would recommend starting with a combination of a deep neck lift and a facelift, followed by chin augmentation if additional projection is still needed.
A deep neck lift addresses deeper structural issues such as muscle laxity, subplatysmal fat, and banding, creating a sharper and more defined neck contour. A facelift repositions the descended facial tissues, effectively improving jowls and restoring a cleaner jawline with natural and long-lasting results. Together, these procedures provide the foundation for a truly crisp jawline rather than a temporary improvement.
After these structures are properly repositioned, chin augmentation can be considered to further enhance projection and refine overall facial balance, if needed.
The exact approach and staging of these procedures would be determined after a thorough in-person evaluation, where I can assess your anatomy and aesthetic goals to create a safe and personalized treatment plan.

You may see some benefit from a conservatively sized chin implant or chin filler to help elongate the chin and create more separation from the neck. However, I would recommend against isolated submental liposuction in any patient over 40, as the skin loses elasticity with age and may not adapt well to the changes. For the best result, you might consider a isolated neck lift (submenoplaty) or face and neck lift with possible chin implant. Good luck!

A chin implant will provide a better jawline. Also, you have hanging skin near the jowls, which should be improved with a chin implant. You may also consider an eccentric lip lift, not a bullhorn lip lift. This does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Based on my evaluation of your face/neck it appears that dominant feature is your neck with plasma muscle bands and obtuse jaw/neck angle. Correction of the neck by means of neck lift or lower face/neck lift should have priority. A combination of implant and neck lift would be my suggestion. Good luck.
