How to improve my profile view, chin and jawline? (Photo)

Question

I want to improve my jawline and chin by receiving a double chin and neck liposuction, and maybe some fillers for chin. Do my lips point downwards is it because of Buccal fat? Would receiving buccal fat removal help? However I would still like to keep a youthful look and is scared my face will look hallowed if I remove my buccal fat.

A non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Neck liposuction will remove excess fat from the the neck area, and this can reduce the 'double chin" as well as help define the jawline. So, this may help you, BUT, it is true that there are other things going on such as some skin laxity and yes, your underlying bone structure. The excess fat is just a part of what may be bothering you. You can certainly have neck lipo, since it is easy for you to do and will definitely help things, as long as you understand the limitations and that it will not totally transform your neck appearance. There may be other options such as buccal fat removal or chin implant. You should seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I think a buccal fat reduction and submental liposuction would be reasonable procedures to help improve the profile appearance. If a buccal fat removal is done correctly it should not cause hollowing, this is why in all my cases I make sure not to over-resect this fat.
Best of luck!

Hello. First of all, there is a more effective method to get rid of double chin than lipsuction. This is submentoplasty surgery. Unfortunately, not all fat can be removed with liposuction method. But with submentoplasty, you can get a sharper chin by removing all your visible fat in the bottom layer with an incision under your chin. 
Fillers are temporary procedures. It is a melting substance and you will need to repeat it constantly. But the chin implant is a silicone material that can stay with you for life and is resistant to all kinds of impacts. You are a very suitable candidate for a combination of these two surgeries. Buccal fat removal can also be done from your cheeks and this will not make your face look hallowed.  
Please see our results. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.
