What else can I do to sharpen my jawline ? Would you consider this to be satisfactory for lipo? (photo)

Question

I had chin lipo for my double chin on Nov. 28th , it is now Jan. 21st. I'm not seeing the improvement I would have liked by now. At my 8 week appointment, I could tell the Dr. Wasn't super happy with the result either. He gave me 4 shots of cortisone 5 days ago, and it did help to take down some of the lumpy areas. He assured me the fat is gone, but the location of salivary glands , voicebox etc is the issue. What else can i do to sharpen it just a bit more ?

It is hard to tell without examining you, but you might be a candidate for a neck recontouring procedure. This might include removing some of the deep fat beneath the platysma muscle and/or tightening the neck muscle itself. It would be done through a small incision beneath your chin. Find a board certified facial plastic surgeon that you trust to go over all your options.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The key to a well defined jawline is the underlying bone structure. If the fatty tissue has been reduced, and the contours are not defined, you may want to evaluate the actual width and dimension of the lower jaw. A side 'profile' image is not the best view to assess width/contour from the chin to the 'angles' of the jaw.
