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

In your case the small chin is effecting the profile more than the fat under the chin. The combination of Kybella and a chin implant is the best option.

Dear Ubiquitous,

Thank you for your photos and your question. At first glance, it’s understandable why you might be interested in chin lipo—especially if you're concerned about the fullness under your chin. But based on your profile and anatomy, liposuction alone may not give you the result you're truly looking for.

From your side views, it appears you have a mild to moderate lower jaw (mandibular) deficiency—meaning your jaw and chin sit further back than ideal for facial balance. When that happens, even a small amount of submental fat (under the chin) can look more pronounced than it really is. That’s likely why your surgeon suggested EMFace, which is non-invasive but may only provide very limited improvement in your case.

What Would Actually Work Better
In a perfect world, the most powerful transformation would come from jaw surgery (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) to bring the lower jaw forward. But if that feels too aggressive or not aligned with your goals, a sliding genioplasty (chin advancement surgery) can significantly improve both your neck and jawline definition, without changing your bite.

This procedure would:
Bring your chin forward to better match your nose and forehead
Make your neck angle appear sharper—even without removing fat
Improve overall facial balance and profile
If volume reduction is still needed after that, a small amount of chin or neck lipo can be done as a finishing touch.

Summary
Chin lipo alone likely won't address the root issue—which is your bone structure, not just fat.
A sliding genioplasty would likely give you a much more dramatic and natural-looking improvement than lipo or EMFace.
You’re young and healthy—an ideal candidate to consider surgical correction now, for results that can last a lifetime.

If you haven’t yet, I’d recommend consulting with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or oral & maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in jaw and chin surgery. You'll want a full facial analysis to see which option best matches your goals.
