How to improve my side profile? Weak chin? Neck liposuction? 21 year old female. (Photos)

Question

I have always felt as if my profile is off balance. I quite dislike the lack of definition in my neck and chin, & how its very curved instead of a sharper angle. I have found my neck looks like that because of a low hyoid bone. I feel like all my features together cause me to have a more masculine/strong face (being a 21 yr old girl), & feel like if something was done to my chin/ neck then it would balance out my side profile better and cause my nose to look less large as well Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy for neck lift, rhinoplasty, and improvements along the neck and jawline because you mentioned your desire to improve those areas.
Best wishes,

Liposuction of the neck/jawline makes such a nice natural looking improvement and is so easy to undergo under tum. local and back to work in 1 day and you can drive your self to and from the procedure .

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you would do well with VASER liposuction of your neck and fat grafts to the depression between the lip-chin junction. Might need fat over the anterior/lateral jaw bone (could be better assessed from a frontal view photo), I believe you are slightly deficient in the horizontal plane as well. I would not recommend a chin implant.See a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Submental fat removal for better neck contour. Liposuction of the fat below your chin to your jaw angle should give you a better neck profile. No chin implant! See an experienced surgeon for this.

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. A chin implant would give more definition. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
