How can I change the shape of my chin soft tissue? It becomes very square when I smile. In the picture I pinch what I assume is the muscle to simulate how I want the shape to be. I already underwent a sliding genioplasty and a year later I had chin bone shaving to slim down the sides but neither helped which leads me to believe that it isn't a bone issue. I haven't seen much info on reducing the muscle aside from temporary Botox but I want something permanent. All suggestions are appreciated.
Answer: Chin Contouring with VASER, ThermiRF, Coolsculpting, Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis, J plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: How you may benefit from chin augmentation Thank you for your question and photos. Though Botox can help to achieve the desired effect, you are right that the result would be temporary, generally lasting for 3-4 months. Dermal fillers can optimize Botox results and last longer, but would still need to be readministered on an ongoing basis.

Answer: This can be easily addressed with botox and dermal filler The chin is structured by the underlying bone, soft tissue and mentalis muscle. A combination treatment can give you the aesthetic chin you are looking for. Specifically, the bulk of the mentalis muscle can be relaxed with botox, and this can help to reduce the width of the chin when smiling. To give the appearance of a more heart shaped or 'pointy' chin, dermal filler placed strategically in the lower face can achieve that. This combination treatment can help create more harmony in the face and improve facial proportions.

Answer: Changing the shape of the chin There are great many muscles that are involved in the process of a smile. The muscles of the chin keep the symmetry and balance in a smile. When one interferes with the muscles of the chin, the smile can become extremely crooked or undesirable. The speech, at the same time, can also become illegible. I think you should accept the shape of your chin when you smile and try not to open up a can of worms. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
