What would you recommend to help define my profile/jawline? When I smile, I already have a long, kinda knobby chin but I am concerned about my neck to chin definition. I am 5'5 and 124lbs. Not much fat for kybella, which I tried one treatment of with no result 6mo ago. Perhaps lipo but am open to all ideas/options. Thanks.
Answer: Options to Eliminate Submental Fat and Shape the Chin Thank you for your question, although it is difficult to make a complete assessment without seeing you in person. While your profile suggests a possible chin implant, the front view indicates perhaps that is not your best choice. As far as the small bit of submental fat under the chin, you could consider additional Kybella treatments or a single session of chin liposuction. This procedure removes the fat from the area in a single, minimally-invasive procedure performed using local anesthetic. It is possible that the fat reduction process will produce a satisfactory outcome on its own. If not, you can opt for dermal filler injections to put the finishing touches on your jaw contour. I encourage you to schedule an in-person assessment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can customize a treatment plan for you based on your precise needs and goals.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- Radiesse, Sculptra, Surgical Implants, See an Expert A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease. Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Chin implant and liposuction The photos are very limited but I can see a diminished chin and neckline as you have pointed out.. Liposuction alone may improve the contour but I am concerned that when you smile your chin becomes more prominent. With an implant, this may not be an aesthetically pleasing look. An in office consultation is need to evaluate and discuss all the options.

Answer: Am I A Good Candidate For A Chin Implant? You definitely are a good candidate for an extended chin implant.It will decrease your overly pointy chin, create an attractive jawline from the side view, allow you to close your mouth easier, and decrease the chance of an "orange peel appearance" to your chin skin as you get older. With reference to the fat in your neck, it appears to be very minimal and I believe a well placed chin implant will obviate the necessity for liposuction of your neck.As I am sure you already know, seeing at least three Board Certified plastic surgeons with before and after chin implants as part of their online portfolio will help you decide on which surgery and which plastic surgeon.
