I have what I believe is a combination of short neck, fat under chin and no jawline definition and this makes me super uncomfortable and insecure with myself. Can you kindly give me some guidance on what could help give me some neck, jawline definition ? I’m 33 years of age. I have had one consultation and was advised Submental fat lipo and fat transfer so looking for other opinions . Willing to travel thank you.
Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin 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.

Answer: Simple liposuction likely not enough Based on limited pictures, you might need a chin implant, submental and more lateral neck liposuction, possible platysmaplasty with subplatysmal liposuction in the submental area. Sometimes lateral plastysmal pulls in the form of a neck lift are needed but I can't tell. I would typically need more pictures to make a better determination.

Answer: Lack of neck, jawline and chin. What will give me the best result? The side profile photograph demonstrates a recessive chin profile in addition to fat deposits located above AND below the platysma muscle in the neck itself. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the recessive chin forward. A neck lift procedure accomplishes removal of the fat compartments above the platysma muscle with liposuction, while surgical extraction of the fat is performed below the muscle which also includes a platysma plasty. No skin removal is required.
