How to get a sharp jaw line? (Photo)

In general, a sharp jaw line starts with having enough bony projection in the chin and angles of the jaw. If you have skin excess or a little extra fat, that can camouflage an otherwise sharp skeletal framework. If that framework is deficient, then a chin implant is a great choice. Localized liposuction of skin tightening may also be suggested, depending on your examination.

A small to medium chin implant will improve the balance and proportion of your chin. You might also benefit from dermal filler injections further back along the jawline to improve definition between the jaw and neck. Seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon well versed in both filler treatments and facial implants. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question and photo. Improving the jaw line with plastic surgery for younger patients generally involves some chin surgery. Chin augmentation with implant or sliding genioplasty (ie. bone advancement) can improve the jawline. Neck liposuction will further define the neck and jawline for appropriate patients. For patients with sagging skin and neck muscle, then a lower face lift or neck lift might be required. If you haven't already, then speak with a plastic surgeon to discuss options for you.Best,Dr. Chaboki
