Should I get jawline filler or fat dissolving injections? (Photo)

Question

I’m 25 years old and I really dislike the bottom half of my face. My jaw and chin are really long, especially when I smile, yet have no definition. I’ve looked into getting surgery but it is too invasive and dangerous, therefore, I’m looking into getting some non-surgical procedures to enhance my jawline. I’ve looked into jawline filler and aqualyx fat dissolving injections but I can only afford one procedure. Which one would make the most difference to my jawline?

From your goals there are a few options for you to consider.  Kybella injection can help dissolve fat under the chin area.  You may need more than one treatment to get desired results.  FaceTite is another option that offers skin tightening of up to 40% using RF technology.  There is no general anesthesia required.  I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

you really need an early neck lift. but if you want facetite to improve the area that can help (see link). fillers will also be good for sculpting. without seeing all angles we cannot suggest the best approach. noninvasive will not help much.

most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift.  an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done.

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:
1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma.

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear LouiseJHudson,That’s a great question and one that I frequently come across. These are 2 different photos. I would recommend jaw angle and chin filler for the first photo and Aqualyx for the second photo. I get a lot of information but touching and moving my patient’s skin to ascertain what is likely to give you the best results. I’d recommend you see an experienced medical injector as both options are not without risks.Kind regardsDr Maeve K

Hello
Based on the photo, it seems you have  some fat in the neck. 
Liposuction under local anesthesia would be preferred method.
Need in-office formal consultation
All the best
