Procedures for a Contoured Jawline
A well-defined, sculpted jawline has long been the hallmark of ideal beauty and a captivating profile. Unfortunately, due to genetics some lack the facial definition and balance of a well-defined chin and jawline.
Ideal jawline definition can be achieved with the right technique and procedure based on your unique facial anatomy and bone structure. Top Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Catherine Chang is a trailblazer in her field and is internationally-known for her advanced understanding of facial anatomy.
Below we outline Dr. Catherine Chang’s top procedures to consider to achieve a contoured, well-defined chin and jawline.
Neck Lift
A Neck Lift, also known as Cervicoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck by removing both excess skin and fat and tightening muscles that can lead to the appearance of a saggy or loose neck. This procedure can also help give you a tighter, and more youthful neck by eliminating some common concerns of having a “turkey wattle,” or loose, sagging skin under the neck. As we age, the skin and platysma muscles loosen and can start to draw attention, causing unwanted vertical banding.
Dr. Chang is able to tighten and rejuvenate the delicate neck area with her advanced neck lift techniques. During your consultation Dr. Chang will determine if a neck lift is the best option for you. She may also recommend a facelift, submental liposuction and Morpheous8 microneedling to help you achieve your optimal results.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat pads in the cheeks can sometimes cause some to appear heavier even when the rest of their body is slim and toned. Excessive cheek fat can also create a “babyface appearance” which can be uncomfortable for those desiring a more sophisticated, well-defined look.
Also known as bichectomy, Buccal Fat Removal enables your face to appear slimmer and your cheekbones to look chiseled. Dr. Chang is able to perform this procedure under local anesthesia or in combination to another surgical procedure under general anesthesia. Undergoing Buccal fat removal with Dr. Catherine Chang can give you well-defined, proportional cheeks, a slimmer face, and improved facial contours.
Chin Augmentation
Mentoplasty, commonly known as Chin Augmentation is a surgical procedure that reshapes the chin through the use of a chin implant. Dr. Chang performs chin augmentations using a chin implant for patients seeking more definition due to a naturally weak chin. Dr. Chang can perform Chin Augmentation using either a Metapor implants or she can create a custom CAD-drawn facial implant that fits perfectly to your jawline and unique anatomy.
Dr. Chang specializes in customized Chin Implants and is the co-author of the textbook “Atlas of and other Facial Implants” 2nd Edition. Using a custom implant, she is able to create the bespoke appearance that you desire. During your consultation, Dr. Chang will discuss both of your options for chin augmentation to determine which implant option is right for you.
