I have been to two PS's and I got two different answers. One suggested minifacelift+lipo, the other only lipo for my jowls. I have used dermal fillers in my chin for a decade bcause Ive always wanted a slimmer/v shaped jaw/chin. But it dosent look good and I want a slimmer jaw whitout jowls with a PERMANENT solution and stop w fillers. One of the PS's said facelift would not work since im in my 30s and that I would look the same as before short time after lift, is that true?

Answer: Face lift I agree you are too young for a face lift. Unfortunately if you opt for liposuction of your jowls it won’t do much but could cause dents in the skin.

Answer: Options Hello, hope you are well. There are some different options to consider. I agree that a mini facelift is not going to effectively slim the area that you are concerned about, and the downsides very likely outweigh any short term benefits. Depending on the type of dermal filler in the chin, you can consider dissolving it (or waiting for it to dissipate) and then placing a chin implant for permanent augmentation. It is impossible to tell based on these photos, but we also perform jaw contouring to slim the width of the jaw. For the soft tissue fullness itself and mild skin laxity, consider FaceTite--this effectively reduces the fat under the skin and also tightens the skin-soft tissue envelope. Best,Dr. Tower
