Hello, I am bothered by my heavy lower face. I had a consultation for chin liposuction but the surgeon informed me that I would not be a good candidate because I do not have much fat under my chin, which leads me to believe that the issue could be skin laxity. I also have chin filler and a recessed chin due to overbite. Thank you.
Answer: Lipo of the jawline/neck with facetite/morpheus usually makes a huge improvement. Lipo under local can really improve your profile and is so easy to undergo but be sure to get facetite/morpheus at the same time for best results. It is definitely worth it.

Answer: Deep plane neck lift Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. The separation between the contours of the lower face and the neck, as well as the girth of the upper part of the neck, significantly impact how we perceive the face. My impression is that you would benefit more from a deep plane neck lift intervention, which addresses the volume situated deep to the platysma muscles and is inaccessible to liposuction.

Answer: For the neck and chin area, combining a facelift with an anterior necklift might be more suitable. Before evaluating patients' cases, I generally prefer to conduct a physical examination. Especially in the context of facelift surgeries, it's crucial to carefully assess the patient's muscle tissue, skin structure, and facial shape.

Answer: Lower Face Aesthetics Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for submitting your photos and questions! I think you should consider a chin implant and/or orthognathic surgery depending on the severity of your malocclusion (overbite). In either case, improving your chin projection will help balance the lower third of the face and reduce the appearance of soft tissue laxity. I would be very wary of undergoing a facelift at age 30 because the reality is that your skin elasticity is probably very good.

Answer: Facelift at 30? I am only basing this on the two pictures provided so please don’t consider this medical advice but a suggestion. You are correct that the main issue is your overbite. The chin/jaw being smaller has not given enough support to the lower face which makes you look older than you are. While a deep plain necklift and chin implant could help mask the problem I would first recommend seeing a jaw surgeon about a possible sagital split osteotomy to bring your jaw forward. This will help with current and future aging as well as open up your air way more and potentially prevent future sleep apea
