What Options Are There for a Woman in Her 20s with a Weak Profile and Jawline That is Not Caused by Fat?

even in cases where there is not much fat to be removed or melted with laser assisted liposuction you can still contour and improve the profile to some degree. Without a photograph it's hard to tell you much but I'm sure you have options for improvement the question that you have to answer for yourself and your surgeon will help you with this is is a good be enough to satisfy you? Do you need a chin implant? Is true surgical intervention your only option?. Many of the before and after you see on my website or in my YouTube videos depict people who did not have actual surgery but used a technology called Slim Lipo. This is a laser assisted liposuction so you get both traditional liposuction (which in your case apparently would be minimal) along with the laser treatment underneath the skin. This should not be thought of as some whimsical magical noninvasive laser treatment. It is still a surgery and it still carries with it risks and downtime. It can be done easily under local anesthesia and I find that the patient satisfaction my office is very high and I think the same satisfaction rate would be found here on realself.com. At the web link below there is a young woman who has surgical markings on her face with a before-and-after who had liposculpture with Slim Lipo along with a chin implant. If I had to guess since you two are of similar age perhaps you look something like her.

You can always try Smartlipo of the submental; this will help to contour your jawline giving it a more distinguished look. Please advise with your surgeon to see what treatment is best for you.
