Would a small amount of fillers help my jawline? (Photo)

Question

i’m 21F and at a healthy weight. i have always had loose skin around my jawline, there are even pictures of me at 5 years old with it. i have a weird dip just under my chin that adds to my double chin when i talk i edited a pic of what i’d like and added an unedited front pic. i have a some skin sagging visible from the front on my right side too. i don’t know if fillers for my chin/jawline would do anything for these issues. i fear lipo would look weird because i have a small jaw/big forehead

most of my younger patients do buccal fat pad reduction, facetite/liposuction of the neck, and fillers to chin/cheeks/jawline/temples,  to give them a more chiseled face.  see my IG and links. at home derma-rolling should be started to Improve texture and tone and tightening along jawline (see link where we have a recommended daily skincare and weekly MTS + anteageMD derma-rolling protocol).

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:

1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

most of my younger patients consider...
5. deep microneelding RF like morpheus every 2-3 months forever to further improvement tightening
6. early face/neck lift if you want a really tight contour and the most extreme improvement in jawline and neck shaping
7. threads, PDO or Instalift, after neck surgery/facetite to further improve the outcomes and give them long term collagen production and shaping
8. Thermage (radio frequency heating) and Ultherapy (ultrasound muscle tightening) yearly to prevent sagging in the future

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Because you are 21 I would focus more on options to improve skin tone and texture.  Treatments such as lasers, microneedling, and Morpheus8 help keep skin looking healthy and young.  We also recommend medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Filler can be used to augment the facial skeleton.  Jaw/mandibular, chin, and cheek are common areas where filler is used to sculpt the face.  Voluma just receive the FDA indication for chin augmentation.

Hi there, thank you for your question and pictures. You have very beautiful features and dermal fillers to lengthen your chin and sharpen your jawline will enhance it. I would use Teosyal Ultra Deep which has good longevity, density and projectile capacity, sharpening your chin, masking the "dip" and sharpening your jawline. Hope that helps.
