How can I improve my weak jaw/chin? (photos)

There are several non-surgical options available that can help achieve a more defined and balanced appearance, similar to the effect you notice when you pose.

1. Dermal Fillers:

Purpose: Fillers such as Juvederm Volux or Radiesse can be used to add volume and definition to the jawline and chin.
Benefits: Non-surgical, immediate results, minimal downtime.
Considerations: Temporary, with effects lasting between 6 months to 2 years depending on the product and individual metabolism.
2. Kybella:

Purpose: Injectable treatment that helps reduce submental fat (double chin), which can improve the appearance of the jawline.
Benefits: Non-surgical, permanent fat reduction.
Considerations: Multiple sessions may be required, and results develop over several weeks.
3. Botox or Dysport:

Purpose: Can be used to relax the platysma muscle, reducing sagging and creating a more defined jawline.
Benefits: Non-surgical, quick procedure.
Considerations: Temporary, with effects lasting 3 to 4 months.
4. Thread Lifts:

Purpose: Uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten saggy skin.
Benefits: Minimally invasive, immediate lifting effect.
Considerations: Temporary, with effects lasting up to 18 months.
5. Chin Implants:

Purpose: Provides a permanent solution for enhancing chin projection.
Benefits: Long-lasting results.
Considerations: Surgical procedure with associated risks and recovery time.
Each of these options has its own advantages and considerations, and the best choice depends on your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your needs and discuss the most suitable treatment options for achieving your desired profile.

A weak chin is a chin that does not protrude far enough. I see your area of concern. It is possible that the bulge under your Jawbone could be your submandibular salivary gland, so an examination would be necessary to determine what might be best for you moving forward. Thank you so much for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

your options are either jaw advancement surgery, genioplasty, chin implant, and/or filler depending on how aggressive/permanent you want to go. each of these come with their own risks/benefits so make sure to get good consults!
