Hello, I am hoping for guidance regarding the lack of definition in my lower face. About 15 years ago (I am currently 31 years old), I had both upper and lower jaw surgery to correct a severe jaw/gum growth issue. Over the years since, I have been bothered by the lack of definition in my jawline and under my chin causing an asymmetrical look to the area. The fat under my chin seems to bulge out on the left side, and it seems as though there is zero definition between my face and my neck.

Answer: There are options You have options. We can consider a "deep neck lift" where, through a small incision under the chin, some of the fat under the muscles is trimmed. This can give you more definition in your neck along the jawline. There are other ways as well.

Answer: Which procedure would help me achieve a more defined and symmetrical jaw It's important to understand that there are two compartments of fat in the neck, and they're located both above and below the platysma muscle. Depending upon how much fat you have below the muscle will determine which procedure is the appropriate one for you. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat compartment above the muscle. A neck lift procedure accomplishes removing the fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle, and also includes a corset platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline.
