Hello, As of a year ago, I received submental liposuction to reduce poor side profile. However, the back of my jawline still blends into my neck when I do not have any facial hair. What is the easiest route to fix this? Lipo focused on the jawline instead of neck? A chin implant (chin seems weaker)? Something else? Thank you!

Answer: Living with a small mandible Your concerns are related to a slight imbalance with your mandible being small compared to your maxilla. This causes the platysma muscle to drape the neck in a more oblique fashion creating a premature double chin and lack of jawline definition. The most definitive treatment as a jaw advancement. More simplistic treatments that don’t address the primary problem are always going to be limited in what they can deliver. Consider consulting with oral surgeons or local board-certified plastic surgeons with craniofacial background training. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Answer: Profile Focus on bone structure for the most natural and long term results. Your image is with the jaw postured forward; so assuming that fact, a genioplasty or jaw lengthening procedure would be beneficial to your goal
