Which do you think would be best for me? I just turned 28 and I have what I think is fat under my chin/ jawline area and a little bit of jowls I guess. I don't think I have that much fat but I do want to remove whatever is there and get a more tighter and contoured jawline.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Making an assessment It’s hard to make an assessment based on the pictures you provided. Take a look at how plastic surgeons take facial before and after pictures and try to mimic those. Most aesthetic issues related to the neck and lower 1/3 of the face on young people is related to bone structure. You don’t have an abnormal fat distribution. It’s important to understand what the problem is before choosing a permanent surgical solution. Consider having in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons and oral surgeons. Oral surgeons are good at making assessments from a facial skeleton perspective which is often the underlying primary problem. Plastic surgeons tend to be more soft tissue oriented and treating soft tissues it’s only going to be of limited usefulness if the problem is based on bone structure. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
