I am a 22 year old female who has always had an issue in terms of my jawline never being defined no matter how much I lost weight or changed lifestyle habits. I am not sure if this is a result of a small jaw, genetics, or both? I am considering chin lipo but also wanted to know if getting jaw surgery would fix the issue. Thank you
Answer: A great option would be to do Morpheus8 to help melt unwanted fat while building collagen and slimming the jawline 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 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa 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

Answer: Chin surgery and liposuction The simplest and most effective treatment for you would be a vertical lengthening sliding genioplasty and jawline and submental liposuction. Reconstructive jaw surgery is not necessary if you are happy with your bite and can eat a diet of choice. You have a deep mentolabial fold which indicates that you are short in the vertical dimension. A chin implant would give you better projection but will also make the mentolabial fold even deeper. That is why I recommend a vertical lengthening genioplasty in order to diminish the deep mentolabual fold.

Answer: Chin lipo Dear Trustworthy187692, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin lipo. 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.

Answer: Would chin liposuction or a Chin implant be more beneficial The limited photographs demonstrate a recessive chin and fat deposits in the neck. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your chin forward, and liposuction under the jaw line to Remove some of the fat in that location. Both procedures can be performed together and actually complement each other.
