Skin/fat under chin - What can help my chin/lower face? (Photos)
May 16, 2025
Asked By:Ashley_DC1 in Washington, District of Columbia
I’m hoping to improve my lower face. The skin/fat under my chin is likely due to excess weight but it’s also hereditary and something I would like to address at some point. I’m also wondering about my chin and nose and if augmenting those would give a more balanced profile. I don’t want to necessarily add width or length to my chin, but it seems weak and the area around my mouth has strange indents(better seen from front photo). Thanks for any help!

Based on these photos it appears that conservative liposuction with a small cannula would be a good procedure to consider. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.
A chin implant will provide a better and permanent solution to your lack of chin projection. During the chin implant procedure under sedation, it is convenient to perform submental liposuction simultaneously.
Thank you for your question. Since your implant is small, replacing it with a larger one may improve the projection of your lower face. This change could enhance the appearance of your chin and jawline, improve soft tissue support, and create better overall facial proportions.
However, there...
