Please help! Jaw issue vs sagging? (Photo)

Help me 143Dec 3, 2021
I have these “fat pouches” under my lower lip. I have gotten so many opinions on it and told so many different things. I have had many dental issue and work and also have an overbite from many years of thumb sucking years ago. Could it be that? I was told that’s possible was also told lipo in that area would work. I was also told fillers which I have tried and saw no difference at all. I feel like when I bite/ suck in the parts It goes away. IS there a surgery that remove it from the inside?!

You appear to have platysmal bands and a somewhat recessive chin with good overall elasticity. I think that a chin implant and platysmaplasty with a bit of jawline liposuction would provide a nice result. There is only one small incision needed which is beneath the chin. The recovery is much...

I'm really sorry that you have not had good results thus far. However, the kind of marionette lines seen in the photos are routine and fairly easily treatable issues in experienced physician injector practices and are treated practically every day. What I can say is that very likely either the...
