How to fix uneven chin/jawline, would liposuction fix this? (Photos)

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.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear LouiseDJ24,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Did human face is highly asymmetrical on all people. Only 2% of the population have some thing that even resembles a symmetrical face.

During embiological development the human face forms as two separate independent halves that eventually fuse in the midline. Incomplete fusion or failure to fuse properly creates birthday effects like cleft lips or cleft pallets.

Because the two sides of the face form independently they inherently tend to be quite different.

Soft tissues tend to be very consistent from side to side and from person to person.

What differentiates each person‘s facial appearance and what creates the asymmetry on a human face is based on bone structure.

Your fat layers are even an equal on both sides.

An attempt to manipulate soft tissues to treat a skeletal issue will simply create two asymmetries that don’t equal each other out or match.

Having liposuction is not the same as reducing your facial skeletal structure.

Is this some plastic and incorrect approach that has a high likelihood to leading to results that are less than what you had hoped for or worse.

The human brain is highly accustomed to seeing asymmetry as being normal.

In fact when most people see appearly symmetrical face that’s computer generated they fly defined the appearance odd and less attractive than a naturally asymmetrical face.

Intervention is indicated when the degree of asymmetry causes people to take a second look or notice.

Because the human mind is accustomed to seeing substantial asymmetry as normal most asymmetries go unrecognized as representing an issue or something wrong.

I agree that your asymmetry is slightly more than average but treatment for this is not nearly as simplistic as you may think.

The success of the treatment depends primarily on if it treats the underlying cause and in your case that needs to address bone structure.

If not it’s probably better to leave good enough alone.

I question if anybody ever looks at you and wonders why one side of her face looks different.

Ask yourself when was the last time you looked at someone and asked yourself by that person has two different sides of their face?

It’s probably been a very long time or possibly never.

When we see people who are born with congenital deformity‘s, have had accidents or injuries that create visual disturbances we see them immediately. The human mind does not see facial asymmetry in the same way.

If you want a proper assessment then you should have in person consultations with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons with cranial facial Fellowship training.

Simply going in and requesting liposuction on 1/2 of your face is going to create problems.
