Can I Get A Sharper Jawline With Weight Loss?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I like the chin augmentation imaging but I wish the jawline was sharper. Would this be possible with weight loss? Also, I think the chin looks a bit pointy.

A: 1) A sharper jawline s never going to come from a sliding genioplasty or any form of soft tissue reduction. Better jawlines only come from augmenting the entire jawline.

2) Your reaction to the amount of chin augmentation means it is too strong or too much. Which indicates that a bone movement of 5mms, to 6mms is the most you can aesthetically tolerate.
