What can be done about volume at sides of chin? (Photo)

Question

I noticed recently I have these fat deposits at the sides of my chin. My jawline also looks scrawny, which is causing a hard look to my face. Can losing volume along jaw cause what I am describing? I know I have lost volume along my cheekbones for sure. Would you suggest filling in the lower part of my face, to get a softer appearance?

Kevin Brenner, MD, FACS · Answer

Believe it or not, as we age we all lose soft tissue volume around the mouth and under the nose. This can lead to an older appearance and can prematurely allow jowls to manifest. This can usually be treated simply with natural fat transfer. I can carefully remove fat deposits from other places on the body and transfer them to places of volume deficiency around the mouth...this helps to balance out the facial volumes.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you need a formal consultation as there are many options for excessive fat as well as volume loss.  This can be addressed with surgical and non surgical modalities.  Please see an expert in facial rejuvenation for a formal evaluation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It's difficult to form an impression from one photograph but I don't find any significant weaknesses in your face. I would suggest that you seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to review the option of selective filler injections and to determine whether this would be satisfying for you. Alteration of the chin and jaw line can be successfully done with aesthetic placement of small to modest quantities of filler.
