What procedure would fix my chin/jawline ("witch's chin")? (photo)

Question

I’ve hated my chin and jawline for as long as I can remember. I call it my “Witch’s chin” because that’s what it reminds me of. It’s short in length but protrudes outwards and upwards looking from my side view. There’s this ugly crease horizontally then to made matters worse, I have a slight butt chin as well. I so badly want a soft, feminine, v-shaped chin/jawline with no crease and no butt chin. The first few photos are of me and I added some of the look I’m going for. Thanks in advance.

The horizontal line is known as a mental crease- this tells me you have an active mentalis muscle. Botox in the mentalis would help with the protrusion you complain of as well as the mental crease.
Once Botox is on board, using HA fillers in the chin can give you a more heart shaped face and reduce the "butt chin"

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.
A great nonsurgical option to help you achieve your goals would be dermal filler treatments. Filler can be used to contour the chin and jawline, creating a more elongated appearance and helping to achieve the balanced, V-shaped look you’re describing. If jaw width is a concern, Masseter Botox can be used to create a slimming effect over time, which further enhances that soft, feminine V-line. It's always a good idea to consult a licensed provider for a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

I suspect the most reliable way of addressing your concerns is with an injectable filler. I do not believe that you are a candidate for chin implant surgery, since your chin is over projected as is. If you would be satisfied with filling in the indentation, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for a permanent result. Please consider meeting with several reputable Facial plastic surgeons. Thank you for this question. Since the only Dr Joseph

You could either do filler or a chin implant type procedure, but it's hard to tell because you would need to be evaluated in person in terms of your mentalis and dental position among other things.

Relax. In the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert, the use of an appropriately robust HA volumizing filler can be used to reshape and contour the chin and jawline and diminish the depth of the mental crease, especially for improving the profile view. . In expert hands, this all should not take more than about twenty minutes to achieve with immediate results and engendering little to no significant downtime. So, no need to fret. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your concerns about your chin and jawline. There are several cosmetic procedures that can help you achieve a more feminine, v-shaped chin and jawline. Here are some options to consider:

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty): This surgical procedure can reshape the chin by repositioning the bone or using an implant to create a more balanced profile. It can address the protrusion and help achieve a more desired shape.

Chin Reduction Surgery: If the chin is too prominent, a reduction surgery can be performed to remove excess bone and achieve a softer, more feminine contour.

Dermal Fillers: Non-surgical options like injectable fillers can help reshape the chin and jawline temporarily, smoothing out creases and enhancing contours.

Botox: Botox can be used to relax specific muscles, which may help in softening the appearance of a "butt chin" or horizontal creases.

Liposuction or Kybella: If excess fat is contributing to the appearance, liposuction or Kybella injections can help refine the jawline.

Jaw Contouring Surgery: This more comprehensive surgical approach can reshape the entire jawline to achieve the desired v-shape.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial cosmetic specialist who can evaluate your specific anatomy and recommend the best course of action tailored to your goals.
