Jaw Contouring and Submental Liposuction #251202

Lower Face Contouring: Genioplasty, Jaw Contouring, and Submental Liposuction

These before-and-after photographs highlight the transformative results of comprehensive lower face contouring. By combining osseous restructuring (genioplasty and jaw contouring) with targeted soft tissue refinement (submental liposuction), the surgical plan focused on creating a softer, more elegant frame for the lower third of the face.

Achieving a natural and balanced lower facial appearance requires addressing both the underlying bone structure and the overlying tissue. This combined approach smooths out sharp angles, slims the jawline, and creates a distinct, beautiful separation between the jaw and the neck.

Key Structural Improvements to Evaluate

When reviewing this patient’s transformation gallery, we encourage viewers to evaluate the changes in proportion and shape from the front, profile, and three-quarter angles:

A Tapered, Feminine Chin: The genioplasty successfully reshaped the underlying bone structure, transforming a previously boxy appearance into a narrower, softer, and distinctly feminine contour.

Smooth Jawline Contouring: The lateral borders of the jaw were sculpted to eliminate sharp, rigid angles, establishing a fluid and continuous line that tapers gracefully toward the new chin.

Enhanced Submental Definition: The removal of stubborn fat deposits via submental liposuction drastically improved the profile view, eliminating fullness beneath the chin and revealing a crisp, well-defined jawline-to-neck transition.

Important Note on the 4-Month Healing Timeline

It is vital to note that the results shown here represent a 4-month post-operative follow-up. Lower face bone contouring and neck liposuction require a significant amount of time for the tissues to fully settle.

Currently, the patient still has a normal amount of residual swelling in the chin, jaw, and neck. Over the next several months, this fluid retention will continue to gradually reduce. As the swelling subsides, the soft tissues with conform more tightly to the new bony framework, yielding an even narrower, sharper, and more refined result than what is visible at this stage.

Dr. Mittermiller’s Approach to Lower Face Reshaping

Dr. Mittermiller approaches lower face contouring with a deep understanding of facial harmony and gender-affirming aesthetics. Modifying the jaw and chin requires extreme precision to ensure the new bone structure supports the soft tissues of the face. Every procedure is customized using advanced mapping to respect the patient’s unique nerve anatomy while delivering a balanced, naturally beautiful contour that complements their overall features.
