Which procedure would help soften my lower face? (photos)

Question

Woman / 43 What procedures do I need to soften the lower half of my face and make it more feminine? I’ve tried fillers but that just made me feel bottom heavy so afraid to do more! I can’t figure out exactly what I need! I was looking at lip lifts but I hate the m shape of my lips so not sure if I would look weird ? Please help!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

From your photo it appears you will have the best results from a combination of treatments.  You can consider Botox to help slim the jawline.  Fillers can help improve facial contours.  Morpheus8 treatments can address overall skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

One option to consider is a facelift, which can tighten and lift the skin and tissues in the lower face and neck. A facelift can address jowls, sagging skin, and marionette lines, which can contribute to a more masculine appearance.

Another option is a chin reduction, which can create a more feminine, heart-shaped face by reducing the size and projection of the chin. A chin reduction can also improve the overall facial balance and harmony.

A lip lift can also be a good option for creating a more feminine appearance. It can shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, creating a fuller, more youthful upper lip. However, it is important to discuss your concerns and expectations with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can assess your facial features and provide personalized advice on the most appropriate procedures for you.

It's also important to consider that while surgical procedures can help create a more feminine appearance, a combination of non-surgical treatments such as Botox or Dysport to reduce the appearance of masseter muscles, or skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage or RF Microneedling can be considered. The best approach will depend on your individual facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and overall health.

Best of luck !
