How to Sharpen Your Jawline
A sleek, sharp jawline is considered one of the hallmark features of an attractive and youthful appearance. Whether excess fat, loose skin, or some combination of both factors are interfering with a well-defined look along the lower face, the jawline area can be resculpted using advanced facial plastic surgery procedures like:
- Lower Facelift: With age, the angles of the lower face can be obscured by jowls and loose skin. A facelift offers a dynamic method of smoothing jowls along the jawline with long-term, natural-looking results. As a result, facelift surgery can reveal the more elegant and youthful angles of the lower face while providing a sharper jaw structure.
- Neck Lift: In some cases, thinning skin and a lack of support along the neckline can compromise the appearance of a sleek, defined jawline. In these situations, Dr. Miller may recommend a neck lift to eliminate laxity and signs of aging along the neck and jawline.
- Chin Implant: It’s not uncommon for an undefined or weak chin to inhibit a strong jawline. If the projection of your chin lacks balance in relation to your surrounding facial features, a chin implant can help accentuate your jawline and achieve greater facial harmony.
- Facial Liposuction: If you’re bothered by a “double-chin” or excess fullness in the neck, neck liposuction may be enough to address the issues and give you a slimmer, sleeker jawline. With the ability to target isolated fat deposits, facial liposuction can recontour the lower face with little to no scarring and downtime.
Depending on the mechanisms causing your concerns, surgical and non-surgical treatments may be combined to attain the highest quality rejuvenation possible.
