What procedure to improve side profile in this way? (photos)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy 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. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Chin liposuction helps reduce the bulge under the chin and can be done for the whole neck. Once the fat is removed the skin can become loose and saggy in some cases. It can be avoided by combining it with Thermitight which is a radiofrequency heat delivered under the skin to tighten it. Both chin liposuction and Thermitight can be done at the same time. The recovery is fast and it can be done under local anesthesia.

Dear Considerate42079,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The individual shape of someone’s chin and neck or lower 1/3 of the face is made up of all the different tissue components.

Bone structure contributes most. The bone structure determines how the underlying platysma muscle drapes the neck.

Skin and fat contribute as well but are typically fairly consistent in most young people.

Fat removal via liposuction is the easiest and typically most effective way to improve the area especially on young people.

As people get increased skin laxity due to a loss of skin elasticities and sagging of the platysma muscle with age and neck lift becomes a better option for most.

For those with lacking forward projection an implant or sliding genioplasty is sometimes needed to get the best improvement.

Most likely in your case Liposuction is your best option.

It only addresses fat and as mentioned above other tissues contribute to shape and contour of this area as well.

It’s simply difficult to reshape someone’s mandible even though bone is often the primary culprit.

For those who have a substantial amount of subcutaneous fat Liposuction can give it fairly dramatic results.

The potential improvement is directly related to the amount of fat available to remove.

I suggest scheduling a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.

Liposuction results vary substantially based on who does the procedure.

Results should substantially reduce the double chin and create a visible defined jawline all the way to the earlobe.

I would skip cool sculpting or Kybella as viable options.

Chin and neck liposuction can be done as an office based procedure using local anesthesia with or without mild sedation.
