Do I have chin ptosis when I smile? How can I fix it without invasive surgery? (Photos)

Question

I really hate my side profile because my chin sticks out and makes it look like I have a double chin. How can I fix this? I've gotten double chin liposuction hoping it would change this feature too but it didn't. Please help me figure out how to fix it! It makes me really insecure about my smile.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi! Thank you for your question. A neuromodulator to your chin will help soften the mentalis muscle that contracts when you smile. Make sure you see a trained RN or MD for all injections. Good luck with your journey.

You may want to try some Botox to your chin. It can help to reduce the size and appearance of your chin. Patients do not typically require large amounts of neurotoxin for this area and the injections are fairly well tolerated.
