I am deciding whether I need just chin look and a buccal fat removal or if I need a genioplasty too. I am looking at the after pictures of people with a genioplasty and their chin is already in a position which seems like mine is already in. I’m not sure if I should just try lipo or do a genioplasty too.

Answer: Buccal fat removal I would recommend a light buccal fat removal only, based on your photos.

Answer: Submental plus or minus genioplasty Thank you for your question. The three procedures you mention target different areas. Submental liposuction is great at removing the extra fat under your chin and affecting the angle you see when you look from the side profile. A genioplasty can increase how far out your chin sticks. We look at the side profile and compare your chin position with the rest of your face. Your chin is already sitting past the base of where your nostrils attach to your face so I would not say that you need a genioplasty. A buccal fat pad excision will decrease the volume within your cheeks (above your jawline). this can sometimes help define the face overall depending on your goals. Chin liposuction can often be performed with a patient awake so I would generally say that you could start with this and then you always have the option to go for the other procedures at a future time if you are not finding the results you wanted
