What procedure would you recommend to achieve a more chiseled jawline and V-shaped face? (photos)

Question

Hi doctors! I have this "pouch" of skin underneath my chin and jaw. It is genetic as my mother has it too and no matter how much weight I lose it still remains there. I also have a bit of excess fat around my jaw and chin around my lips that give me these dimples or indents around my chin when I smile. I am a 20 year old female and am curious what procedure I would need to achieve a V-shaped face and more prominent jawline. Hope you can help!

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear by14,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.

Hi there! I see what you're talking about. You have beautiful features so I would caution against anything that is overly invasive or aggressive. A great option for improvement along the jawline and under the chin is Morpheus8. This is microneedling RF which helps to tighten the collagen and skin. The dimpling near the mouth may respond well to fillers or fat transfer. I would advise against any liposuction as it can create further dimpling or deformity given how thin you are. Hope this helps you!

Do you have a chiseled of a jawline as any of my best surgical outcomes.
Dynamic dimples are from the impact a facial a muscle expressions and are normal. We don’t make assessments based on dynamic facial expressions because they will most likely cause some negative consequence when you’re not making the expressions.
I think you should stay away from plastic surgeons officers for as long as possible.
If you’re not doing so already you should wear sunscreen every day and avoid any excess of sun exposure.
Best,
