Is Chin Lipo the procedure I need for a snatched jawline? (Photos)

Unlike other tightening treatments, Ultherapy only requires a single treatment every one to two years and has long-term effects in skin stimulation and collagen production. Ultherapy is ideal for men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and desire a noticeable and long-term skin tightening treatment without the complications and risks of more invasive surgical procedures. Ultherapy can be combined with dermal fillers, Botox treatments, chemical peels, skin tightening lasers, and skin facials. Our plastic surgery and cosmetic center in Santa Monica offers Ultherapy as a complement to other skin treatments and cosmetic rejuvenation procedures.

If you want as close as you can to "the jawline of your dreams" photo, you have to realize that one limitation willl be your anatomy (you seem to have a lower hyoid bone) but most importantly that for that dramatic of a result, you will need a dramatic procedure aka a neck lift.

Thank you for sharing your photos and your goals so openly. Wanting a more defined, “snatched” jawline is a very common concern, especially after pregnancy and weight changes, since fullness under the chin can be due to a mix of fat, skin laxity, and muscle tone.

Chin liposuction can certainly help reduce stubborn fat under the chin and improve jawline definition if the main issue is excess fat. However, based on your photos, it looks like there may also be some mild skin laxity in addition to fat. In that case, chin lipo alone may slim the area but might not give the tight, sharp jawline you’re envisioning.

Other options worth considering:

Radiofrequency or laser-assisted liposuction (e.g., FaceTite, Renuvion, SmartLipo): These not only remove fat but also help tighten the overlying skin.

Energy-based tightening (Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Thermage): Non-surgical ways to firm up the skin and enhance the contour.

Neck lift or mini lift: If skin laxity is significant, surgical tightening may achieve the most dramatic result.

Injectables (Kybella or jawline filler): Can refine contour in select cases when combined with or instead of surgery.

Chin lipo could be part of the solution for you, but for that sharp, contoured “snatched” look, pairing fat reduction with skin tightening may give you the best and longest-lasting results.

Based on your nicely post of photos, I would recommend a mini neck lift with muscle replication plus the Endo laser treatment fee $8000. Best the virtual consult with.

Before choosing the procedure, we need to have a clear understanding of what the problem is.
The difference between you and the woman and the which picture is not necessarily based on fat distribution.
Facial aesthetics are primarily based on facial bone structure.
While Liposuction can improve outcomes. It doesn’t change someone’s inherit beauty or lack their of.
I recommend scheduling multiple in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community.
Get a set of standard facial pictures taken the way plastic surgeons take before and after pictures.
Bring those pictures with you to use as a reference during the consultation.
Ask providers to open up their before before, and after picture, portfolios and show you as many before, and after pictures of previous patients had similar facial characteristics to your own.
The best candidates for Liposuction are young people with tight skin who have thick layers of fat.
Liposuction may help, but it will not make you look like the person in your wish picture.
No procedure is gonna make you look like her because she has a different facial structure.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t have improvements.
Before, and after pictures of previous patients who look like you are the best predictor of what your results are likely to look like.
Providers don’t have an impressive collection of before, and after pictures, especially if people who look like you may have insufficient experience.
Provider selection is by far the most important variable.
Finding the right plastic surgeon is more difficult than most people realize.
The results of Liposuction is highly provider dependent.
Your candidacy for a quality outcome is moderate to good.
The rest is provider selection.
And the hands of the wrong provider you may be left disappointed or worse.
In the hands of the right provider, you should have a good understanding of what your results will look like, and those results will follow.
Finding the right provider is much more difficult than most people realize.
Your best option is to have multiple consultations And learn how to vet plastic surgeons, which is not easy.
I would be cautious when it comes to Pitch of using particular types of equipment.
It’s the surgeon who delivers the results not their equipment.
A good plastic surgeon can get good results with any equipment.
Personally, I have found that skin tightening in conjunction with liposuction delivers very little unless the patient has a proper neck lift.
A neck lift is going to potentially give you a better result than Liposuction alone because it addresses three different tissue layers while Liposuction only addresses the fat layer.
