Chin and jaw/jowls liposuction for decreasing fullness and increasing contour? Advice? (photos)

Question

I’ve always been unhappy with my chin It appears very “nubby” and makes my jawline unsmooth when I smile since my chin pokes out at bottom. I also want to improve the appearance or my poorly defined jaw since I have full jowls and slight double chin which is magnified when I smile. I’m a normal weight and exercise regularly. Is chin/jaw/jowl liposuction, implant, or kybella a safe way to go? I don’t want anything super aggressive. My ideal result would be similar to Olivia Culpo’s below.

Double chin is secondary to excess of fat in the neck under the chin and under the jaw line.
Chin liposuction is the plastic surgery procedure that removes the excess of skin of the neck thus correcting the double chin. Also when performed along the jaw line it helps to achieve a very sharp jaw line.

When chin liposuction his combined with buccal fat removal, it helps to achieve a very chiseled face look like most of the models presented in your question.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting for good results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and posting pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for Laser Liposuction if your neck for vontour and skin tightening. May need Botox in addition for chin assymetry. Best to have a consult for precise recommendations.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, neck liposuction is a great option for patients with good skin elasticity and excess fat in the neck and around the jawline. This will remove excess fat and stimulate the skin to contract over time which will improve angulation and definition along the jawline. I recommend seeing an expert for a consultation. I hope this helps!

Hello dear
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.    
Based on your photo you are a good candidate for chin liposuction,  Chin liposuction may be an option, it makes you look younger and more attractive with a sharp jawline , and better facial proportions.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic  surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)
