Don't have much of a jaw line - Would I be a good candidate for Chin Liposuction? (photos)

Question

I always thought something looked off / weird about my side profile, and I think it's because i don't have much of a jawline. Would I be a good candidate for chin lipo ?? And how much does it cost ?

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

I prefer to combine chin and jawline liposuction together in procedure. The definition of the jawline is generally improved with this approach.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You have several options for enhancing your jawline. Dermal fillers can correct lower face asymmetries, augment the chin, and sculpt a more defined jawline. These fillers are often paired with neuromodulators like Botox to produce more dramatic results. Botox can relax the masseter muscle (chewing muscles) that often give women a masculine appearance. Once the jaw muscles soften and relax, you can achieve a more V-like facial shape. To learn more about your treatment options, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can properly assess your face, determine the best procedure(s) for you, and ensure the best possible results.

Dear Dreamsdocometruee,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

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. 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. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
