Am I a good candidate for Chin Lipo or an implant?

Thank you for your question and sharing your photograph. In general, the feature that bothers you has a predominantly hereditary component. The volume is deeper seated and therefore liposuction will make a difference, but probably not quite as much as you would like to achieve. The chin projection appears to be good.

My impression is that your best bet for achieving the definition along the jawline and contour under the chin would be a deep plane anterior neck lift, which addresses both volume under the skin and deep to the platysma muscles.

I can provide some general information on both procedures, but the final decision should be made in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Chin liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from the chin and neck area to create a more defined and contoured look. It is ideal for individuals who have excess fat in these areas that cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise.

On the other hand, a chin implant is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the chin to provide a more balanced facial appearance. It is ideal for individuals who have a weak or receding chin and wish to improve their profile.

Whether you're a good candidate for chin liposuction or a chin implant depends on a number of factors, including your overall health, the current shape and structure of your face, your aesthetic goals, and your surgeon's professional judgment. It's also possible that a combination of both procedures may give you the best results.

Again, it's important to discuss these options with a qualified surgeon who can assess your individual situation and guide you in making the best decision. They may also suggest other procedures, such as a neck lift or chin augmentation with fillers, that might be more appropriate for your specific needs.

From the one very limited photograph, it appears that you have a recessive chin and fat deposits in the neck. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your recessive mandible bone, which will give better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. Liposuction can only accomplish removal of the fat deposits above the plasma muscle, which will only be mildly effective. You most likely have fat deposits below the plasma muscle which must be removed with a neck lift procedure to remove the fat deposits underneath the muscle, which also includes a platysma-plasty to significantly improve the jawline.
