30, 137lbs, 5'9, recommendations for undefined jaw/chin fat? (Photos)

Question

I’m newly 30, ever since I can remember i’ve had an undefined jaw with a lot of volume. My face is slim but when I move with certain angles, you see a lot of fullness under my jaw and chin. Even at my lowest weight (137lbs - I’m 5’9) and fittest weight, I still had it. I want my side profile to be contoured but I don’t know what procedures to consider. I was thinking lipo? would a chin implant help too? I appreciate any recommendations! Thank you

Morpheus 8 is 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 acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. 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.

Your chin projection is good so I would not recommend a chin implant. Jawline and submental liposuction should give you the contour and definition that you need.

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for posting your photos and questions. I think you would do well with bipolar RF skin tightening and liposuction. This procedure is called NeckTite--it enhances the jawline by reducing fullness and tightening the skin-soft tissue envelope. I don't think you need a chin implant based on what can be seen in the photos here.
Best,Dr. Tower

From the photographs presented, you have fat deposits located both above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. These fat deposits are most likely genetic, especially the deposit underneath the muscle. A surgical neck lift is required to move the fat above the muscle with liposuction, and surgical extraction of the fat below the muscle, and then perform a platysma-plasty to significantly improve your jawline, especially when you put your chin down.

Based on your posted photos, it appears you need submental or under chin Lipo with mini suture neck lift and HA filler injections along jawline fee $8000-$10,000. Best to virtual consult with regards.
