Lower 3rd of face looks droopy - any suggestions how to look more balanced? (Photos)

Question

Lower third of my face looks droopy. I don't want a inner jaw but just look more symmetrically balanced. Any suggestions. I've always had more fat in the lower third of my face, and it often appears in photos in nasolabial folds, or tired/droopy mouth. The fact the I have tired looking Monolids doesn't help either haha. Recommendation appreciated for the type of surgery I should consider for my jaws. Looking into buccal fat removal, chin lipo, Botox around nasolabial area etc.

Thank you for your question and photos. Dermal fillers are an excellent way to fill and lift the face for a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. These hyaluronic acid formulas can elevate the cheekbones to create a more symmetrical, contoured appearance with results that can last for up to a year or more. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can review your concerns and suggest the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Thank-you for your query. Based on the pictures you have posted, you do not need a buccal fat pad removal. You would do better, in my opinion, with the use of some fillers in the upper part of your cheeks, to both balance and “lift” your face and also in the corners of your lips to lift them. Please find a Board certified Plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can examine you and help you with  all your concerns. All the best!
