How to fix under the chin? Kybella? Botox? Something else? (Photo)

Question

Age: 29 years old Height: 4’11 Weight: 110lbs I am unsure if it’s fat, a weak digastric muscle or mylohyoid muscle.. I don’t want anything chiseled. Just want to look more normal when people look at my profile. I also don’t want any filler to fix the issue. I only get minimal juvederm in my lips(which I have not gotten touched up in 2 years) Please let me know if kybella or Botox or suggest something I haven’t heard of before to achieve a better look. Thank you.

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Kybella is a non-surgical treatment designed to help reduce stubborn fullness under the chin and enhance jawline definition. Based on your goals and photos, you seem like a great candidate! Every face is unique, so it’s important to consult with an experienced provider who can assess your individual needs and create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.

It appears that you have a recessive chin and this is contributing to the excess tissue beneath your chin. I would recommend either a sliding genioplasty or chin implant to improve the lower facial balance and simultaneous submental liposuction if there is a any subcutaneous fat.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The side profile photograph demonstrates a recessive chin profile, which causes poor structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. You most likely have fat deposits located below the platysma muscle in your neck, which is genetic. A surgical neck lift is required to remove the deposits of fat above the muscle with liposuction, and surgical extraction of the fat deposits below the muscle, which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Both a neck lift and a chin implant would significantly improve your side profile
