I am 5'8 and weigh 135 pounds. No matter how skinny I get, I can't seem to get rid of the little bit of fat along my jawline. This is especially prominent along the sides of my face. I saw that SculpSure was recently approved for submental fat but the device seems to be fitted under the chin. What about the sides? What can give me a defined jawline all around?
Answer: Reduce fat and sharpen the sides of the jawline Hi and thank you for this question. This issue of which treatment is best comes up commonly. There will always be a difference of opinion no matter who you consult with. It is difficult to tell from the picture but the sides of the jaw are a bit full. It is important to determine the cause of the fullness. Seek out a consultation where you can be examined to determine that this area is actually pinchable fat tissue as there are many other things that cause the fullness. Examples would be lymph nodes, muscle, salivary glands etc. If this is fat, then a variety of things can be done to treat it. I have had Kybella myself for this area even though I have other treatment options. The reason I sought out Kybella is because it is the most cost effective for smaller areas and it can be quite customizable for those curves that are difficult to get to with other technologies. I inject frequently the sides of the jawline, bra fat areas, inner thighs and underarms with great results. Someone who is experienced with these injections will know how to treat this area well and I am sure you would be very happy with the results. Good luck!

Answer: Jawline definition It is best to have an in-office examination to evaluate your jawline. Defining your jawline depends on the underlying bone and the muscle, skin, and fat on top. If your jaw is small in general, using filler to augment the appearance of the bone can increase definition. If you have good structure but bulky muscles, these muscles can be thinned with Botox injections, particularly in the back of the jaw. Loose skin can be treated with energy devices such as Ultherapy. Fat can be treated with liposuction or Kybella. Kybella in the jawline area is considered off-label. Kybella in general takes at least 2 or more treatments to see full effect and can initially make the area appear more puffy from swelling and inflammation. Hope this helps!!!
