i have some consultations scheduled in a few weeks to discuss possible chin implant and liposuction to enhance my side profile. something i do a lot is take pictures of my side profile and edit them in ways to make my face look something to what i would like. however, I'm not sure if my expectations are realistic or just overly ambitious. i've attached pictures of my profile now (first pic) and my face edited (second pic). are these realistic expectations to have going into a consultation?

Answer: Chin implant & lipo Dear yesitsnicole, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like your expectations are realistic. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Chin implant and neck liposuction-Do I have realistic expectations? Your computer image photograph does appear realistic. Placement of a small chin implant can augment the chin forward which will give you better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. Liposuction alone will only give you minimal improvement, since you're probably fat deposits located below the platysma muscle in your neck. To get the jawline that you are looking for, will require a surgical neck lift which includes removal of fat deposits above and below the muscle in addition to a platysma-plasty. The platysma plasty itself will give you significant jawline improvement that you're seeking.
