I'm 27 years old and am suffering with my lower face! I have chubby cheeks, a weak chin, weak jaw line, and strong nasolobial folds that kind of form a circle around my mouth. I'm thinking maybe chin implant + buccal fat removal? I would ideally LOVE to have a mid face lift to help alleviate some of the heaviness of my cheeks but not sure if I would be a good candidate? I've had cheek filler but that was no good, I have a round/wide enough face as it is! Thanks!!

Answer: Profile improvement It's hard to provide a thorough analysis with limited photography. When considering an chin implant, its important to be able to see your entire profile (Forehead all the way to collarbone) from a direct lateral view. In general, a feminine chin projects about 1-2mm behind a vertical line touching the lower lip, but it has to fit your profile, so these hard and fast measurements don't apply to everyone. Buccal fat has become very popular but again it must be considered in relation to your whole face and there are theoretical concerns with prematuraly aging the face with unneccessary buccal fat removal. Assuming that it fits your profile, a chin implant can be a nice way to improve your profile and make the jaw look stronger.

Answer: Chin implant, lip lift and rhinoplasty Unfortunately, your photographs are limited. However, you would benefit from a chin implant. You would also benefit from a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You may also want to consider a rhinoplasty. The tip of your nose is bulbous. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
