Question

I am 39F, 5'7, 140lbs. In effort to augment a weak chin, in 2019 I had facial fat grafting (sourced from flank) put in the chin and jaw line, as well to melomental folds, lips and under eye. Did not yield desired result. In 2021 received extended chin implant. Current concern is facial asymmetry, heavy and sagging jowls, thickness in lower face especially when smiling. Seeking opinion on any treatment options to correct and any additional cosmetic recommendations to better balance the face.

Based on the photos you provided, the left side of your face is still narrow  despite a fat transfer, a further fat transfer taking a 3D approach may benefit you including some strategic microliposuction of your neck to further refine your jaw line.

You may benefit from a chin implant, a medialized corner lip lift and perhaps an endoscopic mid-face lift to lessen the heavy cheeks soft tissue that has fallen off your checkbones.
