What procedures are recommended for me to enhance profile, jawline & chin? (Photos)

Question

I am looking to enhance my profile and jawline and chin. I'd like to see more tightness and evenness. A more tight and defined jawline, I feel like it's super un even and idk what procedure would work best for my desired results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 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.

Dear Username404,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Hi there! I see what you're referring to with the unevenness. Overall, you have a beautiful jawline. Fillers would be an option. Something like Radiesse which stimulates collagen and can be placed deeply on the bone. I like it for chin and jaw augmentation. It lasts 12-18 months on average. I would be careful with any surgical intervention as it may create deformity. Morpheus 8 may be another option if it is soft tissue causing the asymmetry. Hope that helps you!

Your facial asymmetry is purely based on your facial bone structure and how it developed during embryology. During embryological development each side of the face develops independently and therefore all humans have two different sides of their face and are never symmetrical. The degree of asymmetry varies to some degree but only 2% of the population have something that even comes close to perfect symmetry. The human brain is accustomed to seeing a symmetrical faces as being normal and most people tend to see a computer generated symmetrical face(The only way to see one since they don’t exist) as looking strange and less attractive.
There is obviously a degree to which asymmetry becomes noticeable at which point it could potentially be seen as a problem.
For most people this requires a substantial degree of asymmetry.
The problem with correcting the asymmetry is that it requires cranial facial surgery which is far more invasive and complicated than most people yourself included are most likely willing to go through.
Trying to establish bony asymmetry with soft tissue manipulation will simply create two different asymmetries that don’t match and will just cause expensive new problems for you.
I suppose you could try to put a custom implant along the side of your mandible. I bet you nobody else notices this and everybody thinks you look attractive and have no major facial flaws.
If it all possible my recommendation is to except the asymmetry as being normal considering that everybody has it. there is no good easy way to treat this so I would encourage you to simply not try. it’s simply too complicated to do it correctly for something that really doesn’t need to be corrected.
I’m sure it may bother you since you posted on real self and me telling you that everybody else has a symmetry may not come across as reassuring.
I’ve seen enough bad work to have learned to respect not doing surgery or intervening unless there is a clear risk benefit ratio and I don’t see it in your case.
Simplistic options like just adding fillers on one side may or may not give you what you’re looking for but inherently it doesn’t treat the primary problem. bulking up soft tissues to compensate for deficient skeletal structure tends to look different than having a more prominent size mandible.
There are plenty of plastic surgeons happy to take your money so if you really want to go out and get treatments most of them are going to start pushing fillers on you and the price for these can add up especially when trying to compensate for facial asymmetry. fillers tend to be gone in about six months so it adds up but for some people it’s worth it.
My best suggestion is be grateful that you were born with an attractive face and while it’s probably not correct to ask a woman to spend less time looking in the mirror that is kind of what I suggest.
If you do opt for getting treatment and I would encourage you to make sure the provider has the skill and experience and you should do that by asking them to show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous related work.
