I'm 41 and I am bothered by a look of a double chin and slack skin underneath my jaw. What would correct this? Filler? I'm a bit worried about fillers migrating, is this an issue? And how would I minimize migration after having it done?
Answer: Neck Lift Hello, hope you are well. There are no photos attached, but you are describing issues related to your neck--skin laxity and soft tissue redundancy. This is corrected by tightening the skin under the chin, and often removing subcutaneous fat. You should be thinking of a neck lift, not filler. Neck lifts come in many different forms depending on the severity of the problem at hand. Filler would most likely be counter-productive to your goals based on your description.

Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: How to improve side profile? It would be helpful if you could provide some photos in order to give you the best advice. If a double chin is caused by excess fat, this can be treated with liposuction or Kybella. If there is an issue with excess skin, this can be treated with surgery and there are some non-surgical options that can provide some improvement as well.

Answer: Side profile Hi there! There are a number of things we can do as providers to give you a better side profile. One great treatment that absolutely transforms the face is chin filler. By measuring your face and seeing if/where you need chin projection or elongation, we can place the product deep down to the bone to achieve the most aesthetically appealing result. For women, this contributes to a more heart shaped appearance to the face and for men, when product is put further away from the center of chin, it results in a more masculine appearance. Hope this helps!
