Am I a good candidate for Chin Liposuction? (Photo)

Question

Hello Doctors! I'm a 32 year old woman who is at a healthy and stable weight. Even when I was underweight, I have never been happy with my jawline, especially my profile view. My chin connects straight to my neck and slopes downward, I am looking for a tight jawline with a more pleasing angle up under my chin. It runs in my family. Would Chin Liposuction be able to fix this issue? Thank you!

A non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Hi @racheltheanimator. I recommend a formal in person evaluation with a facial plastic surgeon.

"A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer"

Dear racheltheanimator,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from chin lipo. 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.

I would have to see you in person to know.  If I could pinch a good amount of  fat from your chin and jawline then I think liposuction would help

Best to virtual consult with....

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Liposuction Will be an ineffective because most of the fat deposits in your neck are located below the muscle which was going to require a surgical Neck lift to remove both compartments of fan above and below the muscle in addition to a platysma-plasty. Also consider placement of a chin implant to  augment your chin forward

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Facial aesthetics and contour is primarily based on bone structure. This is especially true for young people. If the issue isn’t a lower 1/3 of the face and neck then the problem is related to the mandible.
Your mandible has a pointed mental region in other words your chin projects and his pointed but the body of the mandible is lacking in size. this causes the origin of the platysma to start much closer to your neck and the platysma muscle drapes your neck in a more oblique fashion. Your fat distribution is normal and that is not the underlying cause of why your neck looks the way it does.
That said well done Liposuction can give excellent jawline definition and improved double chins in some people. Especially young people who are a little pudgy.
To get a formal assessment I suggest consulting with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons with cranial facial surgery backgrounds.
We’re looking for a soft tissue solution to treat a skeletal issue don’t expect more than partial improvements.
