I am looking to achieve a very defined jaw line and reduce my double chin? What are the best options to achieve this kind of result? I have attached a pic of myself and what I am looking for. Thanks!
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 or cheekbones. If you are not interested in moving the fat then we can use fillers such as restylane of juvederm to give some definition along with sculpting the jawline and neck. We would need to do a good physical exam on you to determine exactly but we typically 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.

Answer: Best Options available--VASER HI DEF, ThermiRF, ultrasound I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF or ultrasound are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates but Kybella can be used as an alternative with or without thermage/ultherapy/exilis. See an expert. Best. Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella You would be a good candidate for Kybella which is a simple office based procedure similar to a botox treatment where fat is removed from your submental area to help with you profile and sharp neck contour.

Answer: What are my options to get more defined jawline/no double chin? From the one limited photograph, it appears that there's a weak and recessive chin profile in addition to the fatty deposits in the neck. To augment the chin forward as in the model's photograph, a chin implant is required. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, are composed of silastic, and are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The fatty deposits in the neck can be partially removed with simple liposuction, but to obtain significant jawline enhancement similar to the model will require a platysma plasty procedure also known as a necklift. In our practice that procedure involves tightening the platysma muscle after removal of fat above and below the muscle itself. No skin removal is necessary. For more information and many examples of both procedures, please see the link and the video below
