How to fix side profile? It always looks like this no matter my body fat (Photos)

Question

Been self conscious about this since I was younger, no matter what body fat I’m at it always looks like this. Is there anything that could help my side profile (chin, jawline, neckline)? Thank you.

You appear to be a good candidate for a genioplasty. This would bring your chin forward and slightly down, creating more facial balance and the projection you are looking for. It will also add length and definition to your jawline. The benefit of a genioplasty is that it lasts forever, and the whole procedure is done through the mouth, which means no external scarring. I would say a genioplasty would be the best option for you to achieve your aesthetic goal. Our office provides morph photo simulations of your expected outcome, so you have a better idea of what the result would look like. We would be happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your options further!

There are great options for you.  One is a deep neck lift, possibly with a chin implant. It's done with a small incision underneath your chin that heals very well.  You'd likely have a very contoured and strong jawline afterwards - a great opportunity.  For a good, but less significant change, Necktite can likely provide some nice contouring.

The photographs a rather limited, but it appears there's this recessive chin profile present, and fat deposits in the next located both above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward.  A neck lift procedure can accomplish removing both compartments a fat neck in addition to a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Both procedures can be performed together under a brief general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.
