Non Surgical Way to Bring Jaw Forward? (photo)

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. 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 Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

HI there! Thank you for the pictures and history. Orthodontics may be an option however, it would appear you could have excellent result with carefully placed dermal filler injections to project the chin and reshape / contour. Personally I treat many with this concern so would definitely suggest the non surgical approach. Please ensure you consult an expert aesthetic doctor. Best wishes, Dr Rupert

Direct treatment with a chin augmentation or orthognathic surgery (surgically bringing your lower jaw forward) you can try fillers such as Radiesse, Voluma, Jeuvederm or Restylane (fat via lipoinjection can also be used). None of the fillers will be as effective (or permanent) as surgery.

Chin augmentation with dermal fillers will make a nice difference in patients with a small or pulled back chin. However , if the bite is very pronounced, then surgery would be a better and more definitive option. The fillers will not be able to reproduce the surgical results, but is a good and easy place to start .

Dear moni ok:

I would recommend chin augmentation that would result in bring the jawline forward but I would also recommend seeing a maxillo-facial surgeon to help with jaw alignment.  Best wishes.
