Dissatisfied with side profile and chin shape, would a chin implant and liposuction deliver more definition? (photos)

Chin augmentation is a good, straightforward option to achieving an improved profile. An implant in combination with submental liposuction would help to balance your facial proportions while also helping to sharpen your neckline. It would benefit you to follow up with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for a full physical examination to determine which treatment option is best for you. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the procedures will affect your appearance. Consult with 2-3 of these surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck! #drdonyoo

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. We use this and/or other injectable fillers like Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra- these are injected into the areas of concern to improve the overall appearance of the lower face, give better definition to the jawline, and provide overall balance and harmony to the jaw, and the rest of the face. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline (and rest of the face).

I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best,
Dr. Emer

Hello !Thank you for your question First of all, I want to say that you have a beautiful face, you can have a more aesthetic face, I recommend you rhinoplasty + jawline filler + chin liposuction, in this way your facial features will be more prominent both in the front and on the side
Thank you !regards

Thank you for your question and photos. You don’t appear to have an overly weak or recessed chin, but you may benefit from dermal filler injections to address the areas of concern you describe. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used to add volume to the face and improve facial balance and symmetry. The chin can be augmented and the dips you’re referring to volumized to achieve the desired result.
If you aren’t satisfied with the changes made by dermal fillers, facial liposuction can remove excess fat from the neck to attain a more sculpted and contoured appearance. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concerns and suggest the best treatment option for you.

Thank you for your question regarding a chin implant paired with submental liposuction and also for including photos. That is very helpful!

From the photos, it does appear that you would be a great candidate for a chin implant. The implant will help create a more well balanced and defined profile.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

Each persons individual facial appearance is primarily based on facial skeletal structure. The woman in your wish picture has a completely different facial skeleton that is more harmonious and balanced than yours. It involves not only the bendable but both the mandible and maxilla.
Cranial facial surgery may be an option in your case. If you want to move forward in that direction then I suggest having consultations with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons Who have finished craniofacial surgery fellowships.
Soft tissue manipulation or adding a chin implant is not going to create the appearance you’re hoping for. Your situation does not necessarily need surgical intervention but changing your appearance that much is an involved procedure.
There’s something to be said about excepting her face and bodies and what we were given with and there’s a time or surgical manipulation is appropriate. What works for one person may not work for someone else and white one person is willing to go through other people or not.
There are a lot of different variables to take into consideration. Start the process by finding the right providers who can give you a quality assessment and describe proper treatment options.
Simplistic solutions will not give you quality results.
