Answer: Liposuction Dear Sacramento4651, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Answer: Assessment and treatment on the lower 1/3 of the face Facial aesthetic issues related to the lower one third of the face and neck especially on younger people it’s almost exclusively determined by the size and shape of the mandible and its relationship to the Maxilla. The chin has virtually no subcutaneous fat amenable to removal through Liposuction. An excessively prominent chin is best cheated with a chin reduction. Without pictures we can’t make an assessment. A chin reduction is somewhat complex and it’s probably more commonly performed by oral surgeons than plastic surgeons. Before considering any treatment it’s important to get a high-quality assessment to have a clear understanding of what the underlying problem represents and have a clear understanding of all treatment options. Correct treatments should be based on first having an accurate diagnosis. Liposuction is not done in that part of the face and it’s unlikely it would deliver the type of results you’re hoping for.
