What is the best procedure to define a weak jawline? (photo)

Question

I'm 25 years old & my jawline appears non-existent. Not sure if it's excess skin/fat around my jaw/neck (even though I am skinny) My jaw and neck appear to dissolve into one another. I'd like to fix ths in a non evasive way (if possible) - but want to honestly know what the best solution is to make my jawline more defined. Bearing in mind I have a small face/head. Lipo fat? Skin tightening laser? (not sure if that even works) Fillers on jawline? (Concerned this will create more skin/stretching)

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

From the photographs I don't think liposuction of the chin and neck will help much. There are implants it can be placed over the mandible to strengthen the jawline. This would be a fairly aggressive approach for someone like you. You might also want to consider fillers along the jawline to improve definition.

You would benefit from liposuction or laser liposuction – we have been doing Thanks for your question and thanks for including the photos as well – it helps.  You need to consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon or the equivalence in your country to learn the various treatment options that will help here. this for years and the results are wonderful.  You are a candidate for ThermiRF – a newer procedure that uses RF energy under the skin with a needle and a temperature sensor.  You are a candidate for Ulthera – I see if working well here as well.  And you are a candidate for the RF skin tightening devices.

You appear to be a candidate for a chin implant or possibly sculptra to better define your jaw line.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The photographs demonstrate a  weak chin profile. Chin implants can be placed to augment the chin and give a stronger jawline. Chin implants are composed of Silastic, are manufactured in  a variety of sizes and shapes, are inserted through a sub mental approach under local anesthesia.
