27 years old, 5’1, 100 lbs- Chin lipo or jawline filler? (Photos)

Question

I’m 27, 5’1, 100 lbs. my jawline and chin aren’t as defined as I’d want them and I have fullness under my chin, although it is not an extreme double chin because I’m still pretty thin. I wondered if jawline fillers might give me a defined jawline effect and lessen the appearance of my submental fullness without being too invasive, or if I’d have to go with chin lipo? Ideally, I want my baby face to look more grown up, chiseled, and elegant

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 acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. 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.

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

You should be seen in person, which is the best way to evaluate a jawline and determine a plan, but based on your photos, jawline filler alone would probably be a little disappointing. You don't want to run the risk of overfilling. Submental liposuction and radiofrequency skin tightening to the submental area and lower face would be a good combination in addition to jawline filler. Depending on your in person examination and further discussion of your goals, buccal fat pad removal may help define your jawline as well.

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you appear to be good candidate for this procedure to improve your jaw line.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,

Dear 887766655,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. 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.
