28F, small chin, excess fat in lower face - how to get a defined jawline? (Photos)

Question

Im 28, F. Always felt that may jawline is non defined- I believe this is due to 2 things: having a small chin and carrying excess fat in my lower face. I like my nose shape but feel that it looks overpronounced due tothis, my jaw line also appears square from a front profilw. For me this is issue is genetic, i am very active and simple weight loss has had no effect. I wish to achieve a more feminine and sharper jawline while not ageing myself as i have seen with some buccal fat removal cases.

Hello, helping to define a jawline is a common request we receive. It helps immensely to add Juvederm Vollux to the jawline and chin to provide definition. This alone may be enough to achieve the result that you would like, some choose to do liposuction in the submental area as well.

Hello J,
I believe that your facial aesthetic goals can be achieved and maintained using injectable fillers. I would examine you in person and then we would make a plan to treat you in 3-4 sessions over the course of a year.  We would begin from the top of your face during the first treatment session, then proceed inferiorly in subsequent sessions until your goal was achieved.  The most important aspect for your success is making sure that you choose an expert injecting physician who has natural artistic vision.  Good luck and be well!!!

From the photos there appear to be both lack of definition for the jawline and lack of chin projection, the former issue contributing to some extent to the appearance of excessive sub-jaw jowl formation and the latter to a lack of harmony between the projections of the chin, lips and nose in profile. A robust HA volumizing filler can help to straighten and better define the jawline and a robust HA lifting filler can enhance chin projection and reestablish greater harmony in the projections of the chin, lips and nose in profile. A less robust HA filler can additionally be used to better define the vermilion borders of the lips. In experienced hands, all three procedures can typically be performed within one  30-45 minute treatment session, if so desired, with immediate, on-the-spot results. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

Achieving a more defined jawline typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, exercises, and potentially cosmetic procedures. Here are some suggestions:
1. **Weight Loss**: If excess weight is contributing to a less defined jawline, overall weight loss may help. However, you can't specifically target face fat for weight loss.
2. **Facial Exercises**: Certain exercises may help strengthen jaw and neck muscles, potentially enhancing the appearance of the jawline. Some examples include neck curls, collarbone backup, and the "O" exercise where you make an "O" shape with your mouth.
3. **Hydration and Diet**: Staying well-hydrated can help decrease bloating and maintain skin health. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can also contribute to overall health and potentially improve skin elasticity.
4. **Skincare**: Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can help to improve skin texture and appearance. Some people also find that massage or facial rollers can help to stimulate circulation and decrease puffiness.
5. **Cosmetic Procedures**: For more dramatic results, you might consider cosmetic procedures such as chin augmentation, liposuction, or non-invasive treatments like Kybella (for fat reduction) or fillers for chin enhancement.
6. **Posture**: Maintaining good posture can help to improve the appearance of the jawline. Keep your head up and shoulders back, and try to keep your chin and neck in a neutral position.
Always consult with a healthcare or skincare professional before starting any new treatment or exercise regimen. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual needs and goals.
