You have a few options. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with 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 or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Liposuction of the fatty deposits in the neck can accomplish removal of them and increase the definition in the jawline. The small crease that is present with animation can be released through a small incision underneath the chin. If there is extra fat located underneath the platysma muscle, a surgical neck lift is required to remove that. No skin removal was required on patient's less than 50 years of age.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over the 30 years. From the photos, your chin is very weak. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". The silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. However if liposuction under the chin was performed alone, this would not add forward projection to your chin to correct the "weak" chin.Hope this helps.
We are unable to tell exactly what is going on in your case without examining you, but there are definitely options to reduce an uneven jaw line. It may even be as simple as Botox injections to the more protruding side. Seek out an experienced facial plastic surgeon to determine your options....
Yes, it is very normal after each of these procedures to experience swelling. In most cases, the cheek swelling will remain the longest, sometimes up to 2 weeks. The eye swelling resolves quickly as well as the chin swelling.
There are many reasons why Kybella is gaining traction for plastic surgeons. Surgery is more traumatic and the tissue response to that trauma can result in firmness and skin irregularities in some cases. Kybella is an adjustable and customizable way to approach your problem and the short t...
