Am I a good candidate for chin lipo? (Photo)

Question

(22, Asian/white female) Another doctor has mentioned that due to my bone structure and overbite dental occlusion, I may not be able to achieve my desired result as the true correct diagnosis is not related to fat distribution, but bone structure. I have gotten chin fillers before, which have significantly improved my side profile, but I would like a more defined jawline (and while i know that chin lipo will not address this, but my jowls as well). Any advice is appreciated.

You would not be a good candidate for chin lipo as you barely have any fat there. If a surgeon tries to sell you on this, they are likely just trying to grab money because I doubt you will see a significant improvement, if any. Your jawline actually looks completely fine to me and quite defined. If there were one thing I would consider to add to your face, I would look into augmenting the midface especially medially.

Hello, hope you are well. Based on the photos you have provided, you would not be a good candidate for submental 'chin' liposuction in my practice. There is good jaw line definition and no appreciable jowling in these photos. Sometimes an in-person consultation is more useful for you to point out specific areas of concern.
Best,Dr. Tower

Is your case Liposuction will not add much benefit because you really don’t have much fat to remove. Having the procedure puts you at all the risk of having all the undesirable outcomes without good benefits justifying the procedure.
Your neck and jawline look excellent and perhaps you just need some reassurance.
Best,
