Chin liposuction or implant - which procedure would address my asymmetry and deliver a heart shaped appearance? (photos)

Many surgeons advocate the use of extended implants that wrap around the chin, however, I feel that this leads to a widening and masculinization of the chin in many people. The chin narrow, we prefer an anatomical chin implant since it does not lead to widening. It's not clear, based on your photos, whether or not you would benefit from neck liposuction. An examination would be necessary to determine this. Both chin implant, and neck liposuction surgery may be performed together, and this may be offered with local anesthetic with minimal downtime, pain, and inconvenience for our patients.Thank you for this question, and I hope it helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Here's what you need: (1) botox to the masseter muscles. It looks like you clench your teeth at night and that is widening the jaw and reducing the heart shape. (2) Possibly jaw contouring. This will help you to narrow the jaw further if it's bone. (3) Chin advancement - either an implant or a sliding genioplasty. (4) Possible necktite / liposuction combination which will reduce the neck fullness or a deep neck fat contouring. These things, or a selection of these, will get you where you want to go.

Thank you for posting your quedtion with a photo. The lower 1/3 rd of your face requires more volume to match your upper face. From your side profile you csn see thst you have a small chin. A chin augmentstion with a chin implant will hsve the most impact rather thsn chin liposuction. However, the proper implant and the size of the implant are very important factors to give you the most natural and beautiful results. I recommend that you bring a couple of photos of faces that you like to show the surgeon pre op. Also, consider Restylane hyualuronic acid filler for your lower eyelid tear troughs for additial results. Best wishes

From your side profile photograph, it does not appear that you hardly have any fat at all in your neck, but you do have a recessive chin profile. Consider placement of a small chin implant under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, which takes about 30 minutes.

Facial aesthetics are primarily determined by facial bone structure.
Likewise, facially symmetry is also based on facial skeletal structure.
Soft tissue coverage tends to be pretty consistent from person to person and from side to side.
It is therefore facial skeletal structure that needs to be Addressed when contemplating changing facial shape if the treatment is going to dress the underlying primary ideology.
All people have significant facial asymmetry.
During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other eventually fuse in the midline.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing facial asymmetry as being normal because everybody has it.
You probably don’t see your family or friends having facial a symmetry, even though all of them do.
Your degree of symmetry is very much within one standard deviation and should not be treated.
Asymmetry has very little to do with aesthetics (attractiveness).
Attempts at changing the shape of the face is therefore pretty involved and complex guy.
Soft tissue solutions to problems which are based on bone structure typically do not always give the desired results and typically give partial improvements at best.
Based on your pictures, I don’t see a strong indication for doing this kind of work.
If you consult with enough plastic surgeons, you will certainly find surgeons willing and offering surgical procedures.A certain degree of caution may be in order.
