How can I make my jawline more defined along the side of face/under ear? Am I a candidate for lower facelift? (Photos)

Question

I have some lax skin under ny neck and my jawline next to ky ear is not as defined as it used to be. I push my jaw forward as a result. While I suspect I may be a sliding genioplasty candidate: any other options? Lipo + Renuvion? How to best make my jawline more defined along side of face/under ear?

You are a candidate for a chin implant.  This will extend your neck more anteriorly.  You would also benefit from liposuction of the neck, particularly the angle of the jaw area.

Before jumping to invasive, expensive surgery (with significant post-surgical downtime) or expensive energy-based gizmos (lacking hard science backing and backed by a whole lot of marketing hype and social media buzz), you may wish to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist injection expert to discuss the use of targeted bolus Botox treatment across the upper and lower Jawlines and upper neck ( for tightening and better definition) accompanied by the use of a robust HA Contouring Filler for creating a a stronger, ore defined masculine jawline and chin projection. Filler benefits are typically immediate and those of Botox typically manifest in a few days. Neither of these approaches usually engenders any significant downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.
