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: 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

Answer: Neck liposuction or v line 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 :)
