How can I reduce the height of my chin? i.e. the fat pad above my chin? (Photo)

​I find that VASER liposuction in combination with Renuvion or ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with Thermage/Ultherapy/Exilis, TruSculpt iD, or Coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Hello,

It looks like you could benefit from a chin reduction surgery.

Typically, the surgery to contour the chin is done as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. A small cut is made either inside the mouth or under the skin of the chin, excess bone is eliminated, and the chin is contoured as per the desired shape. Afterward, the cut is closed using sutures.

Consult with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon for that procedure.

I hope this helps,

Best of luck !

Very nicely posted photos. First step is an in office ultrasound examination of your chin to see the layering of the sub dermal fat and amounts. Then to determine if micro lipo removal or injections of hyper diluted KyBella or both indicated. Thus you need in office examinations...

Chin reduction is not done with Liposuction or fat transfer. I suggest consulting with local oral surgeons or plastic surgeons in your community. You may want to contact each office in advance and ask if the Provider specifically has experience in doing chin reduction surgery.
The procedure can be done by both plastic surgeons and oral surgeons. My best guess is you’re find oral surgeons may have slightly more experience doing these then plastic surgeons. Experience doing this procedure among the different specialties, will vary from provider to provider and to some degree based on what community you live in.
The procedure is more involved than having liposuction. I recommend having multiple in person consultations to get an assessment and better understanding of treatment options.
