What procedure should I have to slim/sculpt my lower face?

Question

I am 23 and skinny, yet seemingly have a chubby and/or U shaped face. To me, it seems around my jowl area/jawline, I have excess fat. I’m not sure what to do about it but overall the shape of my face really makes me feel unattractive. I’m not looking for a hollow face like Bella Hadid, just some definition. I’m not sure if I should have buccal fat removal, Botox to masseters, Acculift, thread lifting or something else to fix this. I don’t want to make my face gaunt but just slimmer/more v-line

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without a physical examination. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

It is difficult to give you advice without photos. Some general things that can be done include facial implants, submental liposuction, jawline liposuction, fillers. fat pad reduction and facial tightening with radiofrequency. Thread lifting is not recommended.

Benjamin Caughlin, MD, FACS · Answer

This is one of my favorite things to do. You are the exact patient that does well with this also.  The key is to be clear with your goals and find a surgeon you trust. To get that chiseled, sharp look we have a lot of options. A ton actually. Likely buccal fat makes the biggest difference but fillers, facetite, neck lipo and jawline sculpting are all options with fillers and botox.  All together gets the Hadid look, little by little gets you there more in a stepwise fashion. Everyone is different on how they want to approach it so that should be determined after a good facial analysis and discussion with your surgeon.

Hope this is helpful,
Best of luck,
