Chin Implant Before & After Case 102

This patient came to us after previous procedures, seeking more meaningful improvement in the lower face. She had tried fillers to the chin with limited results. At her consultation, she expressed concerns about deepening nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and early jowling that softened her jawline. We observed some subplatysmal fat, submandibular gland fullness, and hollowing of her lower eyelids due to fat pad herniation and volume loss.

We recommended a comprehensive approach that addressed each of these concerns. She elected to have a deep plane facelift, paired with upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facial fat grafting, and a chin implant. This method allowed us to address not just the surface but also the deeper structures underlying facial aging. Deep plane facelifts always include deep neck sculpting, which helped refine her jawline and neck for a balanced outcome.

Patients like her are examples of how early intervention can reshape the options for facial rejuvenation. Fillers are effective for targeted volume loss but do not always provide lasting correction or structural lifting. A natural facelift can achieve more comprehensive, enduring results in the right candidate.
