Really insecure. What do I need for the best bang of my buck? I’m not happy with the look of my under chin/ neck/ lack of jaw. I consulted with a surgeon locally and the recommendation was Submental Liposuction And fat procedure ( I think this is for shaping jawline but not sure ). He quoted me $5,200 Can , or $4900 usd. He advised that he wouldn’t go as far as a chin implant. Just wondering from other surgeons t ? I I’m not pictures from my consultation. Do I need a chin lor neck lift of jawline work?
Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin 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.

Answer: Chin liposuction Dear anonymous 17, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photo, it looks like you would benefit from chin liposuction. 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: Liposuction and jawline Thank you for the question. The first rule is to be comfortable with the doctor and to be on the same page. If not, seek a second or third consultation. From the photo you could benefit from sub mental and sub-mandibular liposuction. I also feel you may benefit from a small augmentation of the anterior jawline/chin.

Answer: Do I need a neck lift or a chin implant? From the one photograph presented you have an underdeveloped mandible bone for which a chin implant can significantly improve. Placement of a chin implant is performed through a small incision underneath the chin to augment the chin forward for better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. Liposuction can only remove fat deposits above the platysma muscle, and will only be minimally effective. You definitely appear to have fat deposits below the platysma muscle which is going to require a necklift procedure to remove that compartment of fat. A platysma-plasty is then performed to significantly improve the jawline. No skin removal is required. Both a necklift and a chin implant are complementary to each other to get significant improvement in your Jawline. The procedure takes approximately an hour and a half under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and then anticipate two weeks of visible bruising and swelling
