What procedure would be best for me to get rid of my jowls, I hate the puffiness of my lower face.

For years I have hated my side profile (F 31) and I'm I for looking for advice on which procedure is best for me. I always thought I needed a nose job but the part hate about my side profile is the sagging of my lower face, which I have always had. I am and have always been quite slim. 1.5 years ago I had chin liposuction and a jaw implant, and I feel that has fixed my insecurities somewhat but I'm still not 100% happy. Do I have a recessed maxilla? I didn’t do traditional braces only ‘6 month smile' and my overbite wasn’t addressed due to the quick nature. What procedure would be best for me to get rid of my jowls, I hate the puffiness of my lower face.

That really depends on if the doctor ONLY does rhinoplasty. Most surgeons don’t do just one type of case. They may prefer some cases but you want a surgeon with experience in the procedure you are contemplating as well as someone you feel comfortable talking to. Be sure to see pre and post p...

It would be very helpful to have some pictures to base an analysis on. From your description it sounds as if you still feel tight from the surgery. If this is the case you may need to have the muscle tightening revised and made a bit looser. I would try Botox first to see if that alleviates your...
