I would like to have a more defined jawline. I have looked into chin lipo but I am not sure if that’s the right procedure for me.
Chin and neck liposuction may be a good option for you.The great majority of patients who seek this procedure have a facial skeletal imbalance with a mandible that is smaller in relationship to the Maxilla.This typically presents with someone who has a dental overbite occlusion and on profile pictures will have an upper lip that has more forward projection than the lower lip.Depending on the relationship of the lip and the chin and labiomental angle some patients are also good candidates for chin augmentation which can be done with fillers, a sliding genioplasty or using an implant.To assess the area we need to see the relationship between the mandible and maxilla and that means including the full face on both front and side pictures.Even if the primary problem is based on bone structure liposuction typically gives impressive results especially for those who have fat to remove and good skin quality.I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons to get a more accurate assessment and better understanding of treatment options.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
