How can I achieve a slimmer, lifted, tighter lower face? (photos)

Question

I’m 26 years old and very slim but want a slimmer, lifted, tighter lower face. I already have receieved Botox in my masseters but that did not provide me results I’m looking for. What can I do to achieve this? In the photos you’ll see my current face and the other one shows me lifting up my skin to show the results I wish to have.

I would definitely start with buccal fat removal and jawline lipo. Buccal fat removal will reduce some of the fullness in your lower cheeks while fixing the asymmetry. Jawline lipo will help tighten the tissue around your jawline to add more contour. However, they will not remove all of the fat in your lower face. These procedures are commonly done together and do not require any external incisions (no visible scarring). It is harder to say without a full photo or profile picture to look at, but depending on your anatomy, jawline contouring may also be an option. This essentially contours down the jaw bone to reduce its overall with, creating a slimmer facial appearance. Our office provides in-person or virtual consultations if you want to discuss options further!

It may be possible but it may be impossible. One has to define what the root « s » of your problem is/are. Is it too much facial fat, or is it related to your actual bony mandibular jaw structure, being out of proportions in terms of size and shape. Obviously, the latter problem involves a more involved solution, including bony modification of your jaw. Going into further detail is impossible because your fave is purpled out and the photos are cropped differently.  In the end, an in-patient consult is required.

Best of luck !
