Which procedure would help even out my side profile and lower face? (photos)

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for your question and photos. Based on your photos, you appear to have a recessed chin. You may consider augmenting it with a chin implant to enhance the contours of your lower face and your overall facial profile. If you want to “try out” the look, you may opt for a non-surgical approach using dermal fillers.

To determine the best procedure, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon and expert injector. They will be able to do a proper evaluation and customize the best procedure suited to your needs and goals.

You only have a minimal amount of fat in the neck, so liposuction will only give you a minimal result. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your recessive chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. A closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, narrow the bridge line and refine the nasal tip with all incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Placement of a chin implant can be done under local anesthesia, while a rhinoplasty procedure must be done under general anesthesia.

I recommend starting with rhinoplasty, removing the hump and tip with natural definition. After that a jawline chin Lipo would helps to improve your profile.
