I am wondering if I am a good candidate for liposuction to my jawline, lower face, and neck area to create a youthful shape and address the "jowls" around my mouth by removing the fat that is pulling down in the lower check area. May concern is that this could narrow my face too much and make my appearance look older (I am currently 24). Because of my age, I've been told that a facelift would not be a good solution but some liposuction instead. What are your thoughts?
Answer: Chin liposuction Dear Thriving3471, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Non-Surgical Procedures Hi, after looking at the photos you provided, I must say, it doesn't appear as you have a situation of being overweight and I believe that also due to your age the Liposuction procedure would not be the right choice for you to improve this area. It would be worthwhile considering non-surgical options, such as filler injections to the chin ad border of the jaw area, in order to straighten and improve projection. Alternatively, the chin implant can improve the shape and tighten the skin of the lower face. There are also other skin tightening treatments such as radiofrequency or threading, that can help lift the skin upwards. Liposuction would have an adverse effect, that would create more skin laxity and an aged appearance of your face.

Answer: Liposuction of jaw and neck Based on these photos, it is very likely that conservatives liposuction of neck, jawline and jowls will create visible improvement. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa 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

Answer: I am 24. Would I benefit from Liposuction to my lower face? (Photo) Thank you for posting your photos with your interesting question. It appears that you have full cheeks and could have more classic facial definition with buccal fat pad removal. You do not need a facelift ir neck liposuction. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with aesthetic plastic surgery. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift, M.D., F.A.C.S.
