I've been insecure about my profile my entire life.. my back looks hunched with a weird neck shape in the front. Not sure if this is caused by a weak chin or need a neck lift. Any advice on what I could do to have a more graceful/less off profile view. I had a bump shaven off my nose when I was in the 8th grade and ever since then the weird profile seems to be even worse. Thank you so much!!

Answer: Weak chin and not much much definition in the online what are my options? Fatty deposits in the neck are best treated with liposuction. Further accentuation of the jawline is accomplished with a platysma-plasty. Augmenting the chin forward will help with facial balance and proportions by placement of a chin implant through the very same incision underneath the chin. This will also give further support to the soft tissues in the neck. Both procedures are complementary to each other. For more information and many examples, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Weak chin and not much definition in jaw line, what are my options? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is very weak and there is some excess skin under the chin. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone). I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. Hope this helps
