Hello I am interested in getting a more structured face. I would like my double chin removed and have a more visible jaw line. I'd also like my cheeks to be stronger on my face. I don't want to change my noise at all which I hear many Drs may encourage. I would be open to lip fillers. My question is do you think I would need liposuction or should I start considering v line surgery? I am still in the early stages and plan on loosing another 50 lbs Included are my pics
Answer: Chin Liposuction with Renuvion Jplasma dermal tightening Hello and thank-you for sharing your question and photo. Liposuction and Jplasma powered by Renuvion (cold plasma energy to tighten skin) of the chin and neck produces consistently great results for appropriate candidates. I think this would be a great option for you. I would suggest an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon well-versed in all aspects of facial rejuvenation in your area to learn about your options.Best wishes, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

Answer: Neck liposuction or V Line? 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.Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your pictures, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of these procedures in your situation. I hope this helps.

Answer: Chin Contouring with VASER, ThermiRF, Coolsculpting, Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis for more structured face 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 gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fat in the right places This area can have persistent fat in even very thin patients. So it is all about having fat in the right places. Sometimes we even move this fat to another area to help define the jawline. We would need to do a good physical exam. We remove that layer of fat beneath the skin and allow the skin to fibrose to the muscle of the neck. It is not uncommon to combine this procedure with other fat sculpting techniques such as buccal fat removal. The muscles of the neck and tongue in conjunction with the only free floating bone in the body (the hyoid bone) are the limitations of what you are trying to obtain. After palpating that bone and those muscles you could get a better idea of what can be obtained. Hope this helps. Best of luck, DrC
