I've always had a very round face with a chin that looks like it doesn't lead into my jawline and makes it seem like it protrudes more than it should. Both my parents have this same feature and I'm also at my ideal weight and body fat % so I know it's probably genetic and independent of my weight. I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I need to go to a plastic surgeon or to my injector. What procedure might help with this?
Answer: Facial slimming Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You are a great candidate for facial slimming as this is genetic like you pointed out. This can be done with a combination of procedures: - Buccal fat pad excision - J plasma liposuction of neck and jawline vs Kybella injections - enhancement of Jawline with injections (Y Lift) Of course it's best to have an in person or virtual consultation to discuss pros and cons of options.

Answer: Ultherapy and Morpheus8 can help give a lift and define the jawline. Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Round face You are right that your face is round, but that isn't a bad thing. Round faces age better than long, narrow faces. If you want to have better definition you may consider liposuction of the neck and jawline. There is not much fat, but removing a small amount of fat can sometimes make a big change. You may also consider a small amount of cheek fat removal (buccal fat), but this should be done very conservatively and after a full discussion with your surgeon.

Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa 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

Answer: Jawline contour Based on your photos and concerns you may have the best results from a combination of treatments. Botox to the masseter muscles can help to slim the appearance of the lower face. FaceTite can be used to slim and contour the jawline, chin, and upper neck. Morpheus8 treatments can be added to enhance results and address skin tone and texture. See an experienced provider to learn more about these options.

Answer: Chin lipo for round face Dear 10thomer, Thank you for your question! Based on your photo, it appears that you may benefit from chin liposuction with jawline contouring. This procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthesia with you awake, or some patients prefer to be asleep. Recovery is quick in a matter of days, but swelling can take longer to resolve. Once recovered, you can assess and see if you need additional filler along the jawline. I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs many chin liposuction cases for a consult.
