What procedure would best help my weak chin and jawline?

Question

Hello, this is a follow-up to my previous question. Many thanks for the advice with regards to moving my mandible, however this is probably a more extreme procedure than I'm willing to undergo at the moment. When I forcibly press my tongue against the roof of my mouth I can achieve what I would consider a satisfactory result, which I feel suggests the issue is fat or tissue related. Is there any way to make this effect permanent?

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Proportions in the face are very important and in your case you have a deficient chin projection . It simply makes your face look weaker than it really is. There are two ways you can augment your chin. One, with fillers but they’ll provide you with a temporary result, and two with  the use of permanent Silicone or Gortex Implants which will provide you with a permanent result. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

If you’re motivated enough to have surgery then I would encourage you to begin the process properly by scheduling in person consultations at which time you’ll get a quality assessment and can discuss various treatment options and hear firsthand what each plastic surgeon has to recommend.

In the end most patients don’t get good definitive answers by posting on real self.

A necklift is probably your best option if you don’t want to address bone structure.

That procedure creates a hammock which is suspended out of your platysma muscle which lifts up the neck creating the look in your second picture.  alternatively you can spend the rest of your life pushing your tongue up.  The appearance of the lower face and neck is based on the size and shape of the mandible in relationship to the mid face or Maxilla on the majority of people. Soft tissues are very consistent among people.

Patients who opt for procedures that don’t address the primary problem typically have less than ideal outcomes.

That said and neck lift , which is a soft tissue procedure, can give a multitude of improvements for many people.

Best,
