How to get more defined jaw and chin, liposuction? Chin implant? (Photos)

Question

Hi- I've had two rounds of coolsculpting under my chin but still have no definition in my jaw and the minute I move my face back have a huge double chin. This is mostly genetic as it was like this even when I was thinner. I also have jaw issues (TMJ, malocclusion - top front teeth hitting bottom front teeth) and will start invisalign soon. What else can be done? Liposuction? implant? Why is my jaw so undefined?

It appears on these photos, that beside some superficial fat deposits above the platysma muscle, you also may have deep deposits of fat underneath the muscle. While superficial fat in the neck can be corrected with good liposuction, deep fat needs to be shaped with open approach by means of neck lift. Rearangement of the fat pads, possibly bulky digastic muscles, and rearangement of platysma muscle can be acomplished  throught a small incision underneath the chin. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face and neck lifts, is recommended. Good

Hello. Thank you for your question. When I look at your photo taken from the front, I see that you have a double chin, and from the side profile, I see that you have an excessively fatty under chin and small chin too. Liposuction never removes all fat. My suggestion for you is submentoplasty. So what is Submentoplasty? It is the process of removing all visible fat in the lowest layer with an incision under your chin, reshaping your under chin, and clarifying your neck and jawline.  We remove the fat from the same incision and put a chin implant in your chin. Thus, you can have a very beautiful appearance both from the side and from the front.

You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You are likely a candidate for a lower rhytidectomy, also known as a neck lift. This procedure targets the neck and throat directly by removing submental fat and tightening the skin.
The deeper tissues along the jawline can also be tightened to create a smooth and defined contour. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concerns and determine the best course of action.

In person examination is crucial here to determine if it's just subcutaneous fat and a little skin laxity (which could be treated with liposuction and radiofrequency skin tightening) or if the laxity/excess is enough that a neck lift procedure would be indicated. Based on your photographs, I suspect the latter. Find a plastic surgeon you like and be evaluated in person.
