It looks aged and pulled down. I am a 45-year-old woman. A few years ago I started experiencing rapid volume loss to my lower face, making my mouth area look very aged. I have consulted plastic surgeons for a chin implant or fat grafting, but they said neither was an option. I have had Sculptra in my cheeks, but no one will inject it in my mouth/chin area. What would be the best option for regaining some volume to this part of my face and making it less crooked? I'm afraid dermal filler at my age will just weigh it down.
Answer: Consider your options for treating volume loss and dimpling Thank you for your question. A facial fat transfer can restore volume to the chin and along the jawline and smooth away dimples related to volume loss. Chin dimpling can also be caused by muscles in the jaw that become tense, in which case a small amount of Botox can be administered to relax the muscles.

Answer: 45 year old woman with loss of volume around mouth and chin dimpling Fat grafting is an excellent solution and can be done as an office procedure. You will need significant volume and it will look overdone for 1-2 weeks . About 2/3 of fat by volume is reserved over 2 months but what persists gives long last result

Answer: Volume loss & dimpling in my mouth, chin & jaw area One possibility is to consider a midface lift, which can address sagging in the lower face and restore volume to the cheeks. This procedure can help lift the mouth area, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a more youthful appearance.
